Nikon F3
Does anyone have a manual for an F3? My son was turning out a firm's old office and one 'came to light'. I have had an F5 but this camera is nothing like an F5.

The full and original manual can probably be found at the Butkus site if you want more than Ken Rockwell gives you. Butkus asks for a voluntary donation to download which is reasonable.

One thing to know is that the shutter speed stays at 1/80 until the frame counter reaches frame 1. Also, aperture priority auto doesn't work with mirror locked up. Everything else should be straightforward.

Thanks guys, I am sure I can work it out from the leads you have given. The camera is fitted with a 35 -70mm lens made by DENOX. I have never come across this make before. Is it likely to be any good?

Thanks Big Paul, I am just waiting for some batteries to arrive via tinternet and I shall give it a spin. I agree that the camera is nicely weighted and balanced. Looking forward to using it. I'll get back to you if I run in to problems.
