The only other comment - comment, not complaint this time - is that the F6 is still a bit big and heavy for my taste. I think it should have been 10 seconds or at least have the option for 10 seconds. Technically it does have this, but the delay is 30 seconds. I wish it had a self-timer with mirror lock-up.
Value-wise it rates well - the same money won't get even get you into the Nikon full-frame digital world (incidentally I scan my negs on a Nikon 5000 ED and each frame comes out at 20 megapixels). The build quality is at least equal to the D3S. I like how this camera feels in my hands and as a tactile object it really does deliver in spades.
#Nikon f6 slr professional#
It feels and responds like you would expect a professional camera to feel and respond. I have no issues with it and it is a way better eyepoint than my FM3A. The viewfinder is very nice - some folks complain about the eyepoint. Rather, this is a summary of my feelings after having put several rolls through it - various color slide, black and white and color neg.Įrgonomically it's beautiful to use - you don't spend much time in menus (although there are over 40 settings there), the buttons are big, and the controls easy to find and use. This isn't intended to be a technical review - there's plenty of info out there already.
I wont be using it for sports shooting since that's all done on digital now, but will be using it for black and white magazine work to complement my rangefinder system. The camera has top build quality, great viewfinder, removable drive to keep the weight down and allows the use of the best lenses on the market.
#Nikon f6 slr manual#
I do use the Zeiss Nikon ZF.2 lenses on the F6, although the Nikon lenses are very nice, for the most part I wanted an up-grade so I've bought the manual focus Zeiss prime lenses to use on the camera. I did have the F3, F4, F5 in the past, and thought the F6 was the next step for an up-grade. I was looking for the best film camera ever. When they switched from the Nikon F5, they moved into digital for the most part.
The camera never got the respect it was due and very few pros switched to one. The F6 came out right at the end of film's heyday, just as digital was really taking off. The world has switched to digital, but I've still enjoyed shooting with film for the past few years. Nikon F6, just might be the best film camera ever Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned I installed the "L" screen with the 45 degree split in the middle, which makes it very easy to manually focus. I think the design is such that you're suppo sed to do it once and forget about it-not like the other F cameras with ground glass screens. The interchangeable focus screens for this camera are plastic and a little clumsy to change out. Battery life is excellent it takes the little C123 batteries that are pretty easy to find now. I only wish that it had the removable viewfinder like the other Nikon F cameras. It feels like a rubber covered block of metal-but isn't too heavy! I own many Nikons: F, F2, F3, F4, F5, Df, D750 and 35Ti, and this one even beats out my Df as the favorite. This camera feels incredible in the hand. The frames per second are almost as fast as my F5-it'll rip through a roll of film in a scary way. The autofocus performs better it seems than my Nikon Df and D750. The build quality of this camera is ten out of ten. Best and Favorite Camera I Have Ever Owned
