Nikon F55

An extremely light 35mm SLR sold between 2002 and 2006. This camera comes with the familiar PSAM mode settings and has other frankly space age features (by the standards of most of the rest of the collection) such as autofocus and 3D type matrix metering. To benefit from all of these features you need to pair the camera with G-type lenses. Screw type AF lenses are also compatible but the fancy metering doesn't work with them. Furthermore, the auto focus doesn't work with AF-S or AF-I lenses. Metering doesn't work with a lot of manual focus lenses, so in short, just use the camera with G-type lenses. Sadly there is no depth of field preview option.

The built in flash offers TTL metering. External flashes don't. There is a DX code reader but no option to manually toggle the ISO so you can't down rate your old expired films. If your film has no DX code, you will need to either under- or overexpose the shots by the required number of stops and then develop as per the required ISO.  Note, just like the Minolta Dynax 5, this camera cannot shoot infrared film.  The camera needs two CR2 batteries to run.

One of the most interesting things about this camera is the film loading. When the film back is closed it rolls the entire roll of film onto the take up spool, and then winds it back into the canister frame by frame as you shoot. It's a security measure in case the back is opened as the shots already taken are safely concealed in the canister.

All in all pretty neat. It's perhaps not as space age as the Minolta, but on the other hand that means you don't need to take the afternoon off to learn how to work it.
