Great camera until the inboard battery dies and Nikon refuses to replace them.

The battery in these can last hundreds of rolls of continuous use.

Pentax K1000 entered the chat! we had those cameras in high school and they got beat to crap and abused and were such reliable tanks. Also joking but also seriously one of my more memorable cameras I’ve used in the past.

A nice F2 is my choice. Bullet proof, affordable, easy focusing. Get some Zeiss glass for it!

Do independent shops replace those?

Not sure what Nikons current policy but I don’t think so. I called a few when I had an F6 and got refused. Nikon begrudgingly did it but it seemed like the days of F6 service were numbered. The camera will still work it just won’t remember current frame number, date, or other custom settings if the battery is removed.
