"In my experience if you want to shoot waist level using 35mm the only 
modern choice you have is Nikon F series cameras with removal prisms. Of 
the all the F models, F through F5, the best one in my opinion is the F4. 
With the earlier models you lose TTL metering when you take off the prism"

No, the F3 retains all metering functions with the prism off, and - without
a motor - is a quite a bit smaller than the F4.
