Since then Nikon F cameras have gone to war, been in the depths of the wilderness and even into space as NASA’s choice of camera for 35mm, and laughed at all the challenges. At the time it was in direct competition against giants like Leica.
With this camera, Nikon cemented the concept where a photographer could see exactly what they were photographing through the lens. The Nikon F also changed the landscape of photography in a world where rangefinders reigned supreme, especially for the 35mm format. It somehow did feel like it was from the same range of camera, and the feeling emanated from the great build quality through to the modular design. The F5 can be a fully automatic camera, not too dissimilar to the current crop of D series Nikons, which I have continued using, so I was not expecting to see many similarities, but I was surprised. I have been a long-time Nikon user, I primarily started with the Nikon F5, so when I received the Nikon F I was not sure what to expect.
The Nikon F, a camera that only needs one letter for its name! It began a line of SLR cameras that are still being sold today and where each of the F professional cameras has been an iconic camera in its own right. The Nikon F is a unique camera in that it not only became an iconic camera, it started a legacy.
