Jun 4, 2017 · Meelis wrote that "The prices of used Nikon F6 are too good not to get one." At about $800-$1,000+ used, that's still a considerable cost for an F6, and many times as expensive on the used market as the earlier gorgeous professional Nikon film camera bodies. If only using manual focus, not sure if the F6 is that much better.

Jun 17, 2021 · I recently call Nikon Service Repair in Signal Hill , CA. the supervisor was not able to find the F6 Firmware in the current paperwork. He said I should send the camera to Nikon with instruction to review the firmware version . A tech could determine and update the firmware. If not, they send the camera back.

Nov 29, 2017 · The F6 is a niche camera in 2017, as it is the most technically advanced Nikon 35mm SLR made, but is still 14 year old technology. A long time in camera tech, and one suspects on borrowed time in Nikon's marketing and servicing strategy.

Oct 2, 2014 · Given that even average electronic cameras have it - f6 should too. If you feel the f6 does everything by itself, plonk a manual lens on it,(AI/AI-s etc) and dont shoot in the pre-programmed modes. Do everything manually. (defeats most of the f6 purpose beyond the weatherproofing) You might do better with reading the manual.

Jul 17, 2020 · Nikon found out in a recent research that a few of the latest F6 (only 152 units) are affected by the new law. The serial numbers are published. 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. Even if is out of warranty time.

Jun 4, 2023 · The F6 is the toughest professional film camera Nikon ever built. I'm sure the Zeiss Ikon is a fun camera, but all I'm saying is that its price on the used market reflects spill over from Leica pricing, not its build quality—which, on the inside, is no better than the Nikon FE10 that you can buy for less than $100.

Sep 12, 2016 · According to Nikon Dealers, the F6 is no more, production of new models has ceased and those who are lucky enough to buy one new, it will be previously unsold stock. The F6 focussing and exposure is without doubt the pinacle for film cameras. My opinion for mine is virtually faultless on both counts and there is little that it can be improved upon.

Jan 16, 2015 · I am would be very grateful for recommendations for a wide angle, a 35mm, a 50mm lenses for a Nikon F6. I prefer AF but that is not nearly important to me as image quality and character. Price is not a huge factor. Thank you.

Jun 30, 2017 · The F6 screen is almost the same, if not the same, as the B3 screen that was introduced with the FM3a. It is similar to most modern brightness-optimized screens. When i put it in my FE2, it underexposes by about 1/3 of a stop compared to the B2 screen, and about 2/3 of a stop compared to the plain B screen.

Feb 3, 2023 · Nikon made several manual focus screens for the F6. I have the standard screen which came with the camera - which actually I find excellent to manual focus - and the optional one with the diagonal split screen. Check places like ebay, KEH etc for that. Don't mess around with screens that were not meant for the camera.
