The plain prism now has a huge price increase as the metered prisms are slowly dying, it is still possible to find a working metered prism, however it is quite difficult to find one that works well.
The camera itself is very high quality, with a good range of shutter speeds (From 1 second to 1000th in conventional steps) The shutter is made of titanium, which was designed to stop the problems of the cloth shutter used in cameras like the Leicas, it would have been possible to burn a hole in the shutter if it was used in MLU and pointed toward the sun if they had used a cloth shutter.
To load the Nikon F you have to remove the bottom and the back which is one piece,which is locked in place by a turning key thing on the base.
The F has a self timer that can be set to three different times (I think they are 3,6 or 9 seconds) It has a Mirror Lock Up feature that does require you to lose a frame to activate it.
