NIKON F6 8FPS SERIES
To compare to cars: a BMW 3 Series owner wouldn't necessairly buy the latest model of that car as soon as it came out just because of a few changes. Just as the F5 was a technological advance over the F4, so should an F6 be made as an advance over the F5.
NIKON F6 8FPS PRO
but someone who owned a mid-range slr and who wanted to move up to a pro one, would want the latest in technology. No-one in their right mind (unless they had spare moeny to spend) would buy a camera that was merely a tweaked version of the one they owned unless there was something in the new model that they really needed. most F5's were probably purchased by people who never owned an F4. and you would be right, (on the second point), they wouldn't.īut that doesn't mean an up and coming pro who would prefer to stick to film shouldn't get the latest in technology from a film SLR.
The F5 is just under £300, whereas the F6 is just shy of £1,000. One of life’s greatest ironies is that as soon as you are old enough to.
I will be getting a D3 sometime soon, so have to be careful with funds. The ultimate guide to vision issues, glasses, contact lenses, viewfinder magnification, and diopters for Leica and other rangefinder photographers. 5 rolls were lost to user error and miscommunications. Also thinking about getting the 85mm f1.4. With a frame rate of 8 frames per second, this film was was shot with a Nikon F6 and 37 rolls of Kodak Proimage 100 film over the course of about an hour at the Boneville Salt Flats during the smoke filled summer of 2021. technology is always improving and to not replace the F5 with an F6 containing the very latest in technology would be a bad idea.Īlso, most posts seem to assume that only current pro's buy camera's and are unlikey to go out and buy the F6 just beacause there are a few tweaks. The F5 is just under £300, whereas the F6 is just shy of £1,000. If nikon were to make an F6 it wouldn't necessarily be a major step forward from the F5 but there would undoubtedly be some new tweaks and changes based on customer feedback and long term trials. Or be viable to service in 10 years' time.
Having used a D100 for the last few months I'm impressed and on a very steep learning curve - doubt it'll still be around when my F4s finally give up the ghost though. I also think it'll have a bit more longevity, notwithstanding the widely-touted demise of film story doing the rounds. Perhaps the best thing is film bodies and kit are now seriously cheap secondhand. The sume total of all this is now crammed into a digital camera and that's where the advances are going.
Pentax could have landed right in this gap with a 24MP FF version of the K-3. The right resolution, AF, size, build quality, & price. The D750 is the camera wedding togs are looking for. Then there was the F3, then AF came, then you had the ultimate camera (the F4), until the F5 came along - notwithstanding the F801, first with the LCD/funny little thumb dials, F90, F100 etc. The D610 has a good sensor and size/weight, but the AF and build quality werent up to the task of wedding work. When you look back a few years, there were tweaks going on all the time between FM/FM2, FE/FE2, FA etc. My point, maybe better made - I'm still using F4s, you can't think of anything other than minor tweaks which could make these or an F5 better - faster flash snych.? Faster drive.? Better metering than spot, c/w or matrix.?
