Just release the shutter, although later, you may find that you don’t want to keep the results. You don’t have to hesitate when taking pictures. “With a digital camera, the number of pictures you can take is infinite, in the sense that there is no limit in the number of shots to take, unlike shooting with film. Ikeno gave an insightful explanation to this in an interview: Tomohisa Ikeno, who joined Nikon’s Development Division in 1980 and designed the F6, summed up the appeal of these two factors as “the value of unique pictures.” Second, there would always be photographers who prefer the careful, rigorous, and slowed down approach of the former. First, the experience and motivations of shooting film greatly differs than with digital. In a nutshell, Nikon put into consideration two things in designing the F6.
So, what better way is there to mark the end of an era for Nikon than to design the ultimate film SLR camera? Many believe that they succeeded in the F6, as it came with all the qualities that enthusiasts are looking for in a film SLR camera.

Introduced in 2004, the F6 came at a time when Nikon knew that digital photography essentially killed 35mm film for professional use. It’s more interesting to know why Nikon packed all these features to create “ the world’s best 35mm film SLR camera.”
The slew of advanced features, controls, and capabilities it was equipped with goes on and on.

It can also log full EXIF data to CF cards through the accessory MV-1 card reader, making it an interesting mix of film and digital features. It’s also compatible with every Nikon lens made since 1977, and even those all the way from 1959 if they are AI converted. Many find it pleasant to shoot with for its Silent (S) mode, which allows for reduced noise and vibration. Design-wise, it comes in a great form factor not too clunky and big, and just the right size for an ergonomic professional SLR camera. The truth is, the Nikon F6 is still one of the best SLR cameras that you can buy brand new and use for professional film photography. But, is that really a bad thing? Is the Nikon F6 still worth the hefty price tag?

A quick search online reveals that a Nikon F6 body, the last of Nikon’s F series still being made today, is priced at $2,499 (on a side note, the only items priced higher are the Leica cameras). Some models from iconic brands also remain as expensive as ever. It doesn’t help that film camera prices have gone up with the resurgence. You don’t only need a camera to shoot with you need to buy film rolls or packs, too.

Both models lack autofocus and auto-exposure capabilities, so buyers should be comfortable using nothing but manual settings.The Nikon F6 remains one of the priciest film SLR cameras you can get today.Īmong the things that somehow put off people in trying out film photography is the fact that each photo comes with a cost. If you want a rangefinder and can't afford a Leica, try getting your hands on a Voigtlander Bessa-R2M ($900) or R4M ($1,000). Lomography enthusiasts should check out the Holga 135BC ($90), which was adapted from the iconic Holga 120N medium-format camera. Get them before they're goneĪ handful of 35mm-film cameras that were recently discontinued can still be found in stores. Lomography also produces its own 35mm films. For ultra-wide-angle photography, consider LOMO's LC-Wide ($370), which has a built-in 17mm lens, or the 10mm Fisheye Camera ($55).
Popular designs include the La Sardina ($99), which comes with colorful flash filters, and the Diana Mini ($53), which has the ability to change between square and half-frame formats. The society has designed a number of unique models, but these toy cameras prize creativity over quality. If you love vignetting, funky colors and multiple exposures, there are plenty of new 35mm-film cameras available from Lomographic Society International (LOMO or Lomography for short).
