This was supposed to compete with Canon T90. I think Canon nailed the 'modern' ergonomics with the T90 whereas these were very much transitional and are much better value at the moment.
The nikkor af 50mm, is the lens that was sold wi th the camera and work well. However I have used the nikkor e 50mm, which is only manual focus, but does is a good value lens. Thanks for watching. Andy
Hasn’t failed me yet. Love the sturdy bod.

Have it and I like it.
I just managed to get a f-501 with the 70-210mm f4 . Wonderful Camara.
Could I ask, what 50mm would you recommend
Great video too, thank you

Some say these built by contax with Nikon badge......
Is that camera made all plastic body. How do this camera work in program, what lens would that be for it to do so?
It might be plastic, but now that I have one I am impressed.. I would say any Nikon mount lens will work in P mode..
The early nikon AF slr cameras were dodgy and nikon lost out to Canon in that respect...
