The Nikon F100 packs much of the professional Nikon F5 into a smaller, lighter body, and many photographers think it's the best autofocus film camera Nikon made. It was introduced in 1999 and built until 2006.
It has shutter speeds to 1/8000, five-area autofocus that's quick even by modern standards, Nikon's 3D matrix metering, and program, aperture-priority, shutter-priority and manual modes. It runs on four AA batteries in the grip. Controls are laid out much like Nikon's later digital SLRs, so it feels familiar straight away to anyone who has used one.
Lens compatibility is wide. Modern AF-S lenses, G-type lenses without an aperture ring and VR lenses all work. Manual-focus AI and AI-S Nikkors mount as well, with center-weighted and spot metering but no matrix metering.
Two common faults to check. The rubber on the grips and back can turn sticky or peel with age, which is ugly but harmless. More importantly, the plastic latch on the back door can break, so make sure it closes firmly. A good F100 with a 50mm and a roll of Portra 400 makes film feel almost effortless.
