Never say "The last film camera the company will ever make..." Pentax and Ricoh are talking about a NEW Film camera... None of us can say that we didn't see this coming.

One thing to talk about it and another to actually go through with it. I’d be very surprised if Nikon did. I can see how the M6 reissue makes sense, with how expensive shooting film has become. Time will tell! Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏻

I’ve had a ton of film cameras. Nikon F3, FM2n, FM3a, Pentax 67II, Mamiya 7 II, Contax G2 (twice), T, T3, Leica M7, MP, and the Nikon F6. The F6 is quite literally my favorite camera I’ve ever had. It’s close between it and my MP, but there’s just something about the F6… the way it feels, the lenses, looking through that beautiful 100% mag OVF, and that infallible 3D matrix meter… it’s the “if I could only have one” camera because it lets me shoot everything that I like to shoot. Whatever it is, there’s an F mount lens that can do it. I love the system, I love the camera and I can never part with it. It’s amazing!

While the F6 is bigger, heavier, and has some features lacking on the F100, IMO the F100 is my preference for real use. The much heavier build of the F6 makes it preferred as a tool in a bar fight, but I just do not abuse my equipment such as to get value out of the difference. Functionally, the biggest difference may be the color light meter in the F6, but then, I've never seen anyone using an F6 and packing around a bunch of color correcting gels to take advantage of it either.

Nicely done video! I appreciate the position my F6 occupies in my camera kit. It’s the only film camera that works with Nikon’s Creative Light System including my sb-910 and R1C1. It’s matrix metering w AI lenses is superior to that of the F5. The F6 autofocus is superior to the F5. It is an amazing camera! My three favorite film cameras are the F2as, the F4s and the F6.

It depends what you need from a camera Galen Rowell found the F3 too heavy for climbing. Atget tried the original Rolleiflex too fast for his way of working - horses for courses. Admire the F6 for its technical advances but stuck with my hefty F5 which with the right back can match it in almost every way and exceed it in some. When you set them next to each other as you did one is clearly for wimps!

Жыл бұрын
Thanks for your question! In terms of speed, they’re both blazing fast. I wouldn’t say the F6 is faster in af-s. That said, having 11 points vs 5, and the 51 points in 3D tracking start to make a noticeable difference when you’re tracking a subject moving around the frame, like birds or kids. I find I’m more confident in the AF of the F6, but if you’re used to the F5, it still gets the job done!

I was hoping for ta f7 to support E lenses, but it never happened because of the mirrorless revolution. That also means that one of the major points of the F6: having a single lens set for both digital and analog, dwindled a little. In my F100 the E lenses are stock full open. Not the end of the world, but important.

Does the autofocus performance of the F6 exceed the EOS-1V? How does the F6 autofocus in low light? I wasn't impressed by the EOS-1V and had to mount a flash trigger and rely on its focus assist lamp when shooting indoors.

Having used the F6 and F5 in tricky lighting and where fast and accurate AF were critical, the body made a huge difference. Lenses make less of a difference on film than they do on modern digital cameras. Lenses made for film did not have to resolve as much as modern lenses do with digital sensors.
