Good Points: Well built quality 35mm camera .
Bad Points: None that I can think of.
General comments: Easy to use quality camera that sets Nikon apart from the rest. I bought this camera second hand 20 years ago. I also own an F90X and F100, both very good camera's though heavier than the F301. The F301 is pretty much bombproof and not too big, takes excellent pics and is as good as the day it was new. This should last a lifetime and a bit more.

I bought one of these in 1987 and fell in love with it immediately. As already stated just compare it with more more F50, 55 60 etc etc, one in each hand and you just KNOW which hand the quality is in!. I sadly lost mine a few years ago (it got pinched!) but I liked it so much I've since bought two more!!! OK it hasn't got a built in flash, but what true artist would need such a thing! :)

What a camera. I travel with it everywhere, yes it's heavy and a bit clunky but compared to todays cameras which would die in anything other than studio conditions it's perfect.
I had a slight panic last year when I dropped it into a gorge, after fishing out the water, and removing the fish from the insides I thought that was the end of my trusty companion. But left to dry out for a couple of days and then with a fresh set of batteries (4xAAA, very useful when backpacking through somewhere li ...

After searching articles, reviews and talking with friends who had owned Nikon products...In 1985 the Nikon N2000 became my first 35mm SLR camera. I was so pleased with the photo quality in AE mode that I rarely use any other settings.
The only problem encountered with this camera was after several years of ownership. I removed the film for deveoping and put the camera away without switching it off. Two months later I found that the batterys had leaked and corroded the battery terminals. Even a ...

Produced as a hobbyist camera, but in reality much more than that. Excellent build quality... just compare it with the Nikon F65/F75/F80(even) in today's market and you'll see what I mean.
Has DX coding, manual settings from 24-3200; shutter speed B-1/2000; Program and Hi-speed Program modes (I have never used these much); Aperture priority and full manual modes. Exposure compensation +/- 2 stops in 1/3 steps.... I know you're probably wondering why it sold for so little. Let me tell you more. ...

Purchased my F301 in 1985 as soon as it came out. There simply was no other camera at the time that matched it for feature and dollar value. I shoot stock film of wildlife and landscapes and have sold many shots using my F301.
Easy to use and rugged. I replaced the standard AAA battery compartment with the aftermarket AA holder which I preferred. Batteries last ages. The offset tripod mount can be a pain. I have two Metz flashes that couple together and are controlled via the cameras OTF meteri ...

This Nikon F301 is a great 35mm SLR camera to use. Stick a good lens on it and you're laughing! The battery reliance spooked me for a while but five years on and I've changed it once. Silky smooth frame advance. This camera is a real deal, allows you to learn and have fun. A steal on the second market. I've just bought another one for a friend

Back in 1985, I first saw the Nikon F301 and fell in love. £250 with 50mm lens was the right price for this camera, No LCD display was apparent, but this was good for me as I upgraded from a Nikon FG20. I still have a F301 today, and apart from not having a built-in flash, I prefer it to my new Nikon F60.
