Rather than release just another take on the F2, Nikon hired noted industrial designer Giorgetto Giugiaro to design their new camera. The next step in the line came in 1981, but the world had changed, and the semi-automatic electronic camera revolution had taken place in the 1970s. The F2 proved just a modifiable as the F, and photographers took to the new camera. The F took the world by storm, and Nikon took all the concerns that users had about the F and rolled it into the equally popular successor the F2 in 1971. Soon photographers from around the world took their Nikon F cameras into every situation from metropolitan newspapers to the jungles of Vietnam.
This included metered and un-metered finders, focusing screens, motor drives, and different backs. That being that the photographer could customise the camera to their personal needs. The F took all the major milestones in the history of photography from the first half of the 20th Century and rolled it into a modular camera system.
#NIKON F6 PROFESSIONAL#
Nikon introduced the world to their first professional SLR, the Nikon F. The history of the Nikon F6 is traced back to 1959. The Nikon F6 complete with the optional MB-40 grip and 85mm f/1.4G lens used in the review A special thanks to James Lee for loaning out his kitted out F6 for the special 100th review. While the F6 was produced in the age when most professional photographers were shooting digital regularly, the F6 turned into a camera more aimed at the advanced amateur who wanted that professional level kit and had the coin to spare. It is also worth a note that this particular F6 is the final one to be sold by Nikon Canada. And while the Nikon FM10 is still produced, it is in fact, made by Cosina rather than Nikon itself. The F6 is the last film camera to be produced by Nikon.
It is only fitting to round out the first 100 reviews with the final single digit film camera from Nikon, the mighty F6.
