The Nikon N8008 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.



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.

30-second to 1/8000-second shutter speed range with bulb mode.

Film-speed setting from DX code or by manual override (ISO 6 to 6400).

1/250-sec. flash synchronisation.

Evaluative 2D Matrix and 75% Centre-Weighted Average metering modes.

Compatibility with the Nikon Multi-Control Back MF-21, allowing freeze-focus, data imprinting, and automatic exposure bracketing.



Like the Nikon F4, the N8008 is broadly compatible with most Nikon AI and AF F-mount lenses, though some features are unavailable depending on the lens type. All features are available when used with AF-type lenses. Non-CPU (AI and AI-S) lenses are supported, but only Manual and Aperture-Priority exposure programs are available, using centre-weighted metering. Autofocus is not supported with AF-I and AF-S lenses, and Vibration Reduction (VR) is not available regardless of the lens. Newer G-type lenses are usable with the Program and Shutter-Priority exposure programs (though it is possible to use them in Manual or Shutter-Priority programs, but only at minimum aperture).
