[net.rec.photo] Info on Nikon F3 AF

<eat it up!>

	The Nikon F3 AF has a different housing and finder assembly and
is compatible with all Nikon lenses. It will autofocus with the Nikkor
200mm AF and 80mm AF lenses, as well as the new 1.6x AF teleconverter,
which makes any Nikon mount lens into a AF type (!). The teleconverter
was just announced; I suggest calling Nikon at (516) 222-0200 in New York
or (415) 541-7414 in San Francisco for more information on this.

P.S. I think Popular Photography had a detailed article by a Nikon engineer
on the F3 AF several months ago; sorry I can't remember in more detail.
