    What can I say but the daddy of all SLR cameras. I have owed my Nikon F for over 20 years and although others have come and gone My F still takes great shots. Who needs auto this and that anyway just buy one and then you will truely understand the joy of photography.
    Possibly one of the greatest cameras of all time

    Perhaps the most recognized cameras of the late 1950's through the 1960's, the Nikon F 35mm SLR camera was the 'King of the Photojournalists.'

    This camera is a good choice for photo beginners for it's relatively low price (for a used one), 100% view finder area, and fully manual overide on all functions. It will make a beginner know more about photography basics than later AF cameras. Compare to the current Nikon FM2n, it is still a very good choice on budgetwise.
