Nikon's enthusiast SLR with spot metering — the F-801s, electronic, 1/8000s, Nikon F, 1991.

The Nikon F-801s, introduced in 1991, was an updated version of the enthusiast F-801, adding spot metering and refined autofocus. It was sold as the N8008s in the United States. It belonged to Nikon's autofocus range of the early 1990s and used the Nikon F bayonet mount, part of the long-lived Nikon lens system.

This is an electronically controlled 35mm SLR on the Nikon F mount, with a vertical-travel focal-plane shutter that is electronically timed, offering speeds to 1/8000 second plus B, with flash sync around 1/250. Metering includes matrix, centre-weighted and spot patterns, the spot mode being a key addition over the F-801; exposure modes include programmed, aperture-priority, shutter-priority and manual. It provides phase-detection autofocus and integral film advance. As an electronic body it depends on batteries to operate.

The F-801s suits enthusiasts and semi-professionals who want the F-801's fast handling with added spot metering for precise exposure. It keeps the robust build and wide shutter range while giving finer metering control. It works with AF Nikkor lenses for autofocus and suits varied work from travel to reportage.

On the used market, being fully electronic, it needs good batteries, so test AF, the spot meter and all exposure modes. Check shutter accuracy across the wide range, inspect the prism and LCD, and look for perished light-seal and mirror-damper foam, common on this era. Try loading and rewind. It uses standard cells rather than mercury batteries. AF Nikkor lenses autofocus; AI-S and manual-focus F-mount lenses meter with reduced support.
