And I have never had any issues with them. With used ones you never know which abuse the camera has got. film leader out is in the custom settings.įor more advantages, you may have a look here:Ĭlick to expand.I've bought my F6s new because I wanted 100% safety to have perfect working cameras (and a 3 year guarantee). data back integrated in the camera, no extra costs for buying one improved exposure data recording (full EXIF data) with data reader Nikon MV-1 (or the new Meta35) less noise: You don't hear the film motor at all when shooting less vibrations (almost vibration-free) improved viewfinder (better information lay-out) vertical grip is removable, better flexibility much better ergonomics (the F6 is ergonomically the best camera I've ever used, perfect design) Just to list a few of the advantages of the F6: Nikon has listened very attentively to the professionals who had given their feedback on the F5 and wanted improvements. The F6 is much improved in comparison to the F5 in more than 20 aspects / technical details. It also means the "F7" is extremely unlikely.Ĭlick to expand.Yes, they are significant. What this means is that Nikon is looking to cut costs. Mirrorless cameras are capturing some of those sales and many people are satisfied that the DSLR they have is good enough. Nikon today, as well as Canon and others, is seeing sales of DSLRs plummet.
Manual focus lenses with a real aperture ring rarely fail. Still, I'm tending towards having fewer or no electronic components in my lenses and bodies. Many of the AF-D lenses that have reappeared as G lenses have been optically improved. The only reason I bought a 60mm G AF Micro-Nikkor was because its new optical design made it one of Nikon's sharpest. What I'm trying to say is that there's no reason to buy an E lens unless the optical design is better or you just can't get that lens as an AF-D or manual AIS lens. Yes, the selected aperture may very well be more precise, but you'd not notice. It's less expensive when the mechanical linkage is gone. Nikon's decision to remove the aperture ring (originally with G lenses) and now use in-the-lens electronics to set the aperture (E lenses) is a cost-cutting decision (a decision Canon made in 1987). Now the Nikon F6 SLR camera has also been discontinued by the company.Even though all of Nikon's lenses - from the pre-AI types of 1959 all the way up until the new E's - have been mechanically activated with a body-to-lens linkage, clearly there have been no accuracy problems in selecting the aperture in this manner.The Nikon F6 SLR camera is the latest camera in the Nikon F series.Nikon offers a dedicated line of film cameras called the Nikon F series.Nikon F6 is a 35mm single lens reflex camera released in 2004.

The company launched the Nikon Z6 II and the Nikon Z7 II with features like 4K / 60p video capture, two EXPEED 6 image processors, two memory card slots and more.
While the specs and features may appeal to some camera users, the truth is that the Nikon F6 SLR camera is no longer available.Īs for the latest versions, Nikon has updated its Z series of mirrorless cameras.
