Hello Nikon users, Last friday I got the chance to have the new F 100 with MB 15 and AF-S 80 - 200 in hand. Here are my first impressions the F 100 with the MB 15 looks really like a little F5, everybody has already said that. But for me the interesting thing in not in a similar look as the F5 . The most interessant is that, without MB 15, I have got the feeling to have a F 801 (N 8008) in my hand. It is really light (I use F5) and fits the hand perfectly. The advantage compared to the F 801 (one of the best bodies Nikon ever made) is that you have a F5 inside. I except the littles differences like motorisation & mirror lock-up . For outdoor photography with F 100 you have a light, discreet and top camera. The new AF-S 80-200 is very impressive looks more massive than the old one, with a new hood which gives a pro look. The silent wave motorisation gives you high speed in focusing, but if you don't need such a speed go to the normal one because of the price. If you want a pro look for your 80-200 just buy the hood of the new one, it should fit on the old models. prices are in sfr: F100: 2 298.- AF-S zoom 80-200 f 2.8 d: 2 298.- (1.5 sfr = 1us$) C.
