I used an F3 from 1982 until I went to digital in 2003. I loved that camera. Its weakest link was the flash sync speed of 1/80 which was usually too slow for fill flash outside with Tri-X (ISO 400). Had Nikon made an F3 with 1/250 sync (like in the FE2/FM2's and F4) then it would have been the perfect non AF camera of all time. I guess that the hot shoe position was also bad. It insured that either vertically or horizontally you'd get side shadow on the subject if you used direct flash, which to this day is a sign to me that an amateur took the shot! I used a Metz CT-1 and would hold it above the camera to avoid that problem. Still, a great camera.

How do you go about dialing in the exposure with the Reflx Lab? Would that adapter just trigger the flash with no TTL capabilities?
The reflex lab had a guid chart in the back, it has 2 power settings, you would just match your aperture base on the iso and distance scale.
