Nikon evaluated very intensively the weaknesses of the F4 and complaints / critic by professional photographers and designed the much better F5. But the F6 is designed for real photographers.Ĭlick to expand.As a F4s, F5 and F6 user I have to disagree. Today it seems more a topic for collectors. The market has shown that the vast majority of professionals and enthusiasts don't care for it. I have never felt the need to change my prisms with my F4s and F5. The other major reason is the lack of demand for interchangeable prisms: Nikon told me the demand for it was so small that it made not any sense anymore to continue that design concept.Īnd with the DG-2 and and DR-5 you also have two good options which are replacing interchangeable prism applications. They are satiesfied with that design and don't want interchangeable prisms back. Professionals are preferring this much more robust and durable design for 20-35 years now. That is the one major reason why Minolta gave up interchangeable prisms for their professional cameras already in 1985 with their Minolta 9000, more than 35 years ago. I see the non-interchangeable prism as a clear advantage, because it is the most robust, durable and best weather-sealed design. More than enough for every special need.Ĭoncerning interchangeable prisms I have to disagree.

And if you then make a series of 20-30 shots after that with the stopped down aperture, this "few seconds effort" is certainly worth it.Ĭlick to expand.There are seven easily interchangeable screens for the F6: Type B, U, E, M, J, A and L. But in a studio or a fixed location it can make sense for certain applications.įor example if yo have a portrait shooting using the 1.4/105 and want to use a series of shots stopped down: Stopping down the lens on the digital body and then switching the lens only costs some seconds. That isn't of course a practicable way out in the field. There is a trick to use E lenses stopped down: Put them on a newer digital body with E compatibility, then stop down to the wanted aperture, leave the camera power switch on "on" and change the lens and put on the F6. I am saving for that lens and using it also with my F6s is a given.
with the unique 5.6/500 PF: F5.6 is already its best aperture ("sweet spot") with highest performance, so you would'nt stop down it anyway in most situations, and control exposure by the shutter speed. But for example it isn't a big limition e.g. That is of course a big limitation with the f1.4 E lenses like the outstanding 1.4/105 and 1.4/28. If you put it directly onto the body, only using open aperture is possible. You can use E Nikkor lenses with the F6, but with the following limitations:ġ.

The published serial numbers indicate that the demand for the F6 has recently further increased ( I am tracking them for years for my market research).

Excellent information policy and service with the free exchange.ģ. Kudos to Nikon that they have continued the production of this oustanding camera for so long.Ģ. "“The product has no problems in quality, function and performance, and has no effect on health in normal use, so you can continue to use it.”ġ. Nikon ensures the performance of the affected cameras is not an issue: The customers of these cameras can contact Nikon and get a new F6 in exchange of the affected one - free of charge - if they want. Nikon found out in a recent research that a few of the latest F6 (only 152 units) are affected by the new law. One of the impacted substances is DBP, which can be used in certain electronic parts.
#Nikon f6 8fps update
There has been an update last year to European law and the European ROHS directive. Nikon has just this week posted an update with a small recall: My most used cameras, I am very satiesfied). Nikon has put all their knowledge and experience in the design of this camera (I am using two units for years. And the most sophisticated film SLR ever designed. For those who are not so familiar with the F6: It is currently the only 35mm film SLR in current production.
Here some probably interesting Nikon F6 updates (at least for F6 users ).
