Nikon F

The first camera in Nikon's famed F series of professional cameras. The Nikon F was built upon the design of the Nikon SP rangefinder and introduced to the world in 1959. It also introduced Nikon's F-mount bayonet lens system that is still in use today - and this camera can use most of those lenses.

The Nikon F helped popularize the 35mm SLR as the photojournalist cameras and F cameras have traveled all around this world, continuously making pictures along the way.

They are a bit creaky with age these days, and there are several newer alternatives that are well worth considering but a Nikon F is still a great camera, and one you can count on being with you for decades and decades.

The Nikon F

This is the famous Nikon F. ⁠

⁠The world of film photography was taken by storm when this camera was introduced in 1959. Nikon had managed to combine many desirable features into one beautiful, mechanical, and versatile 35mm SLR.⁠

⁠The Nikon F has interchangeable focusing screens, prisms, and lenses. Nikon also made a variety of accessories that were designed to appeal to photographers of all backgrounds. The camera body itself contains a self-timer, depth of field preview, and mirror lockup switch. Many of these popular features existed in other cameras, but none of Nikon's competitors had one camera fully loaded with them.⁠

⁠The Nikon F is one of those cameras we are always excited to sell. Try picking one up while resisting the urge to wind and fire it... we bet you can't. It just feels so darn satisfying.⁠

⁠And we haven't even touched on the vast world of incredible Nikon lenses out there... though, we will save that for another day. ⁠

⁠An undeniably good pair: the Nikon F with a Nikkor-P 105mm f/2.5 lens.
