Building on the success of the original F-801, the \"s\" model introduced an advanced Spot Metering system and a significantly improved, faster autofocus motor. With a top shutter speed of 1\/8000s—a professional-grade specification—and a high-speed 1\/250s flash sync, the F-801s was designed for the serious enthusiast and professional who required speed and precision. Its legendary Matrix Metering system ensures perfectly balanced exposures in complex lighting, while its rugged, ergonomic polycarbonate-over-metal chassis remains a favorite for its \"indestructible\" feel and comfortable grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003eProfessional-grade shutter speeds from 30 seconds up to a lightning-fast 1\/8000s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003eImproved high-speed autofocus system with faster tracking for moving subjects\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003eVersatile metering options: Matrix, Center-Weighted, and dedicated Spot Metering\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\"\u003eLarge, high-information top-plate LCD and comprehensive viewfinder display\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,4,0\"\u003eHigh-speed 1\/250s flash synchronization for professional outdoor fill-flash\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,5,0\"\u003eIntegrated motorized film advance (3.3 fps) and automatic film loading\/rewind\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,6,0\"\u003eFull compatibility with AF and AF-D lenses, and Matrix Metering support for AI\/AI-S manual lenses\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIntroductory Paragraph\u003c\/b\u003e The Nikon F-801s is a \"bridge\" camera that combines the rugged reliability of vintage Nikon bodies with the high-tech automation of the modern era. This specific unit (S\/N: 3215471) is highly valued for its compatibility; it is one of the few autofocus Nikons that can still provide accurate Matrix Metering with older manual focus AI lenses, making it a dream for photographers with a diverse collection of glass. Its large, bright High-Eyepoint viewfinder is perfect for eyeglass wearers, and its intuitive dual-dial interface makes switching between Program, Shutter-Priority, Aperture-Priority, and Manual modes nearly instantaneous. Powered by four standard AA batteries, the F-801s is a dependable, high-speed workhorse that feels like a professional instrument in every click.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The camera body (S\/N: 3215471) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its age. The internal mirror box and bright focusing screen are clean and clear. The advanced Matrix and Spot metering systems have been tested and are fully operational. The high-speed shutter fires accurately across all speeds up to 1\/8000s. All buttons, dials, and the top LCD panel function correctly. The battery compartment is clean and free of corrosion, and the film transport mechanism is smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/b\u003e \"The F-801s is, in my opinion, one of the best-built Nikon bodies outside of the single-digit F series. What I love about this S\/N: 3215471 is the shutter—it has a very distinct, professional 'snick' that sounds like a precision machine. The 1\/8000s top speed is a game-changer if you like shooting fast primes wide open in broad daylight. It’s a very ergonomic camera that just fits the hand perfectly, and the fact that it runs on AA batteries means you’ll never be stranded without power. It’s a rugged, honest, and incredibly capable SLR that still feels modern today. For anyone wanting professional Nikon performance on a budget, this is the one.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003eNikon F-801s 35mm SLR Body (S\/N: 3215471)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eNikon BF-1A Body Cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003e4x AA Alkaline Batteries (Installed)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"\u003eOriginal Nikon Neck Strap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: 35mm SLR Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eFilm Format: 35mm (135)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eLens Mount: Nikon F-mount (AF and AI compatible)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eShutter: Vertical-travel metal focal-plane shutter (30s - 1\/8000s)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eMetering: Matrix, Center-Weighted, and Spot Metering\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
