Nikon F with Photomic T meter professional SLR film camera (Renewed)

The Nikon F is a landmark camera in the history of photography. It was the first of the Nikon F series of professional-grade single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras, introduced by Nikon (then Nippon Kogaku K.K.) in 1959. The Nikon F established Nikon as a leading manufacturer in professional cameras and helped define the SLR market for decades. It was succeeded by other models in the Nikon F series, such as the Nikon F2 (1971) and Nikon F3 (1980), but the original F remains iconic for its build quality, versatility, and innovation. The Nikon F is considered a classic, especially among film photography enthusiasts and collectors today. Even though digital cameras have taken over the market, the Nikon F continues to be admired for its role in shaping the photography industry.

• Design and Build: The Nikon F was a robust, all-metal camera, known for its solid construction, which made it a favorite among professional photographers.
• Modular design: users can change components such as viewfinders, film backs, and even mirrors, making it versatile for different shooting scenarios.
• Interchangeable Lenses: The Nikon F used the Nikon F-mount, which became one of the most widely adopted lens mounts in the history of photography. This allowed users to mount a wide range of lenses, both from Nikon and third-party manufacturers.
• Viewfinder: The camera featured a pentaprism viewfinder, providing a bright and accurate view of the scene. It could be replaced with various options, including the standard waist-level finder or the photomic viewfinders that added a built-in light meter.
• Shutter and Exposure Control: It had a focal-plane shutter with speeds ranging from 1/1000 to 1/90 seconds (plus a B (bulb) mode for long exposures).
