Second AF camera, after the F3AF, and first designed as an AF camera. The N2000 was actually an N2020 with AF removed. Lens compatibility was decent, the only camera Nikon made at the time which could mount pre-AI lenses that hadn't been AI-converted was the F3, all the others had fixed AI tabs since 83 when the FE and FM were discontinued. And not much collector interest, as it's still fairly common. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
