Nikon F-801s
A seriously capable body for the money. The F-801s was Nikon's enthusiast flagship before the F90, and it still holds up — 1/8000 top shutter speed, 1/250 flash sync, and the spot metering that the "s" added over the original F-801. Built properly, comfortable in the hand, and paired here with a Tamron 28-105mm zoom covering wide through to portrait length. A complete, ready-to-shoot film kit at a sensible price.
