I've already had problems, but a cleaning of the contacts (difficult when the film is already loaded ;-) solved it, no need for repair. > Another question I have is how > helpful would using a Nikon flash with AF assist be? It depends how often you have to shoot in *really* low light situations. The AF sensor is pretty sensitive and I have never felt the need for an assist beam (I also have a third party non AF TTL flash). > What happened to PC terminals?

For what the PC terminal concerns, a very cheap PC to hot shoe adapter should solve the problem. Nicolas.
