And used F6's now go for $1000-1200. The two features I like best about it are the imprinting of data between the frames (shutter speed, aperture, and the exact focal length set, even with a zoom), and the very quiet and solid sound of the shutter. The size and weight of it seem to be ideal for my hands and I get steadier pictures with it than I get with any other camera. The autofocus also seems to be extremely accurate.
