Hi,
What kind of lenses are we speaking? Do they have aperture rings?
To me, a real film Nikon comes in the flavour of the F3 and FE/FM family. Some research into the F2 might also be done. All require aperture rings. These are smaller than their AF cameras, use less sophisticated electronics. A good repairman should be able to fix them for many years to come.
If you have G-lenses you need to have an AF body, that you could at least use them in P and S modes.
Hope you find this useful

Thanks Joachim, as a matter of fact, the French repair shops agree with you!<img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> They also recommend an FE, F2, F3 or FM3, to make the body really easy to take care of long term!
