Default Film cameras that store exposure information

Hi all
I am thinking of getting some decent 35mm gear.
It would be nice to have a film camera that could save exposure info much
like the exif from a digital camera.
I understand the n90(s) can do this and the data can be downloaded to a
computer.From memory other cameras can imprint the exposure info between
frames and some (contax?) can imprint shooting data on the first two frames
of the roll.
I cant recall which which cameras have this ability apart from the n90s. If
anyone does know can you please post your suggestions
Thanks to everyone

Nav,
The Nikon F100, F5, and F6 all will dowload the information via the Nikon
MV-1 data unit, to a
compact flash card; one then reads the card to
your computer and then can print out the
shooting data. The data will include not only
the aperture and shutter speed, but EV settings,
and other settings in the camera, per shot.

The MF-23 databack does imprint between or
within frames, the aperture and shutter speed
only, per frame; the MF-23 works with the F4S camera.

All items listed above are Nikon brand items.

Good luck.

The Maxxum 7 prints on the first two? frames all the exposure data and
has some kind of device/hook up cable that allows you to download the
info from the camera too. The Pentax MZ-S (Pentax's top of the line
film camera) actually prints the exposure info in the rebate edge
between frames/outside the picture area. The Maxxum 9 may also have
some provision for recording film exposure data either outside the film
frame, or on a separate frame(s) but you'll have to do some digging to
find out unless somebody on this group also has that information.

I had one of the new type Pentax's; the ZX-30 with a data back that would
prind just about anything or nothing on the neg. I guess all of the ZX/MZ
series would do that. But I'm sure that all the data back cameras would do
that. Bob Hickey

The Pentax MZ-S prints a range of info. on the film rebate, between the
sprocket holes, and can also be set to print a sequential number at the
start of each roll of film, which is useful.

The info. in the rebate includes, as far as I recall, what metering pattern
was selected, what focus mode, aperture and shutter speed, and I think some
others (don't have any film in front of me as I types this). Aperture and
shutter speed are the most useful ones to have, of course.

I would rather have it print what in the world it was that I
was thinking when I selected such an inappropriate aperture
and shutter speed.

I find noting one's strategy - was I thinking of shadows, motion
blur, the clouds, dof ... and what I did about it - is the most
useful part of my notes as the little details don't apply to
the next shot: I don't take the same picture under the same
circumstances twice.

Of course, if one is taking studio / product shots where the
same setup will be used again and again then detailed notes
are de rigueur.

The Canon 1v did the same thing as the N90s, and I'd be surprised to find
that the Nikon F4 didn't.

The F4 was introduced in 1988 and the F90 is from 1992.

That was it. Done. The faulty Monk was turned out into the desert where it
could believe what it liked, including the idea that it had been hard done
by. It was allowed to keep its horse, since horses were so cheap to make.

Maybe I was thinking of the F5, then. (oops, I don't keep close enough
track of Nikon's camera lines, I guess.)

The F5 is supposed to be able to store shooting data for about 78 rolls
of film.
