    Good Points: Very durable, superior reability, great design, superior finish.

    Bad Points: No standart hot shoe, Tn Light meter needs care

    General comments: The worlds Top professional 35mm camera of early 1960's. The Nikon F camera made from 1958 to 1974, totall produced about 850,000 units. All cameras are assembled by hand. It has superior body finish, matherials are choosen very well. Nikon F was the choice of journalists and other professional photographers. This camera stared in many cinema movies as a symbol of professional photography. Camera has adpoted titan foil horizontally traveling shutter with MTBF of at least 150,000 frames. Many of theese cameras are functional even today. Shutter has practical range of 1-1/1000 speeds and flash sync on 1/60. The only problematic point in this body is hot shoe, it hasn't standart shoe as most of manual focus Nikon F's. It's because the prism can't hold heavy professional flash. It's really on of the best ever mechanical cameras in the world. It is very solid camera that is made for hardest conditions. As camera of end of 1950's it has very advanced design. Actually I think that this camera made the current look of modern 35mm SLR, it was starting point of professional 35mm SLR photography. I bought my Nikon F with photomic Tn finder for 1000 NIS (~220$). This camera looks very impressive, and even after so many years it is accurate as new. I made with it beautiful quality pictures that are equal to thoose made on my Nikon F4S. The most popular Photomic prism was FTn, it's almost identical to Photomic prism of Nikon F2 by features. I have more reare Photomic Tn prism, it was made only one year 1967-1968. The problem of all old photomic prisms that needle becomes jumpy, it's because resistor needs cleaning. As owner of all manual focus Nikon F's (F, F2, F3) I can tell that the Nikon F is the most interesting model because it was the first one. NASA choose Nikon to fly to space and almost every Nikon from Nikon F series has seen the earth from the space.

    This venerable workhorse has produced so many award winning photographs throughout history and is still capable of doing so today. I recently photographed a shuttle launch with my nikon f and the person next to me was using the latest automatic exposure af cannon camera. They had respectable snapshots, i won 1st place in a photo contest with my picture. There was a rainbow and a moon with the smoke trail. The autoexposure af camera was unable to capture the rainbow and i think that best states t ...

    Perhaps the most recognized cameras of the late 1950's through the 1960's, the Nikon F 35mm SLR camera was the 'King of the Photojournalists.' The cameras were well made had tons of interchangeable backs, prisms, focusing screens and of course those superb Nikon lenses. Early models (C.1959) had standard non-metered eye level finders. There were 4 metered prisms added: the Photomic in 1962, the Photomic T in 1965, the Photomic Tn in 1967 and the classic Photomic FTn in 1968. Although I have had ...

    This camera is a good choice for photo beginners for it's relatively low price (for a used one), 100% view finder area, and fully manual overide on all functions. It will make a beginner know more about photography basics than later AF cameras. Compare to the current Nikon FM2n, it is still a very good choice on budgetwise.
