F1 superior to the F - Don't think so. Maybe more modern but not a
superior body

The F3 is no longer manufactured. Whether they may still have some stock
is another matter. I believe that $1300 has been the going price for
some time.
Meanwhile, as to the Canon F1 - Not a quite camera, but one of the most
solid SLRs ever built. A superior camera to the Nikon F, noise or no
noise.

Actually the F3 is still available from Nikon, but at $1300.

If feels like a classic. It is a classic.
It was in production for decades i think the only body in production
longer than the M6. It is not a camera to use if you do a lot of flash.
The hotshoe is off to the far side. It was a "flagship" camrea. top of
the line. When they both came out they were largely called "a piece of
junk" by their constituents.
