Nikon F-801

The Nikon F-801 (sold as the N8008 in the US market) is a 35mm SLR of the late 1980s. Although its autofocus mechanism is slow in comparison to modern standards, it was an improvement on Nikon's first attempt at an autofocus SLR - the F-501 (N2020 in North America), and proved to be reliable and durable, typical of Nikon's cameras.

Features

Despite being designated in the number range usually reserved for amateur cameras (indicated by the F- or N prefix), the F-801 was built to a high standard and incorporated a number of professional features:

A Depth of Field preview button allows temporary stopping down to the shooting aperture to check DOF.

A Multiple Exposure facility allows up to nine shots within one frame.

A unique 'two shot' self-timer. This allowed a second shot to be taken by the self-timer a couple of seconds after the first, giving a more 'relaxed' and unposed picture.

Fully programmed automatic exposure, Aperture priority, Shutter priority and fully manual exposure control.
