Pros: Size & Weight, Solidity, Reliability, Amazing Viewfinder, Infinite Features, Professional Product.

Cons: Defect at first of the buffer battery that discharges, poor availability. (Another flaw: it's out of production and has no successors, a shame!)

Pros: dimensions, autofocus construction

Cons: nobody

Opinion: It was my last film camera, I still have an m4 and a fe2 but I keep them for fun at the time it was -in 2004 and I kept it until 2008 when I sold it and took a fuji s5pro- my daily use SLR, exceptional and customizable viewfinder, did not make me regret the interchangeable ones of the f5, I had a set of slides, great autofocus, really accurate light meter, no problem ever. Resold at the same price or almost the purchase given the scarce availability. An exceptional refl4ex.

Pros: Ergonomics, robustness, performance.

Cons: Nobody.

Opinion: Gorgeous machine from any point of view. The possibility of using all the latest Nikon F optics (with the partial exception of the very recent E, equipped with electromagnetic diaphragm, which can only be used at full aperture) eliminates the performance gap with vintage optics towards DSLRs. Using it expertly with films with excellent solving power, I consider it a challenge to modern digital. If you then talk about projecting well-made slides with an analog projector, well, there is not and there can be no comparison with any digital projector...

Pros: Top camera, AF Multi CAM 2000, Grip with boost for motorized sequence, Color Matrix display meter, as on the F5, flash the TTL and much more, coming from an analog past of F1, New F1, F, F2SB, F3 and F5, I can only say, we are at the terminus, really a fairy tale.

Cons: Absence of the interchangeable pentaprism, compatibility not with all Nikkor optics and, not total, in case you want to buy an optics, you have to leave your heart and listen to the table, however well made, present in the manual.

Opinion: The F6 is an uncompromising machine, whose electronics, not intrusive, makes it a must in the analog field, unparalleled, only the shutter is a real engineering school of reference. Photographing with her is exciting, she has an ergonomics at the top, falls into her hands in a heartbeat, all the controls in the right place, you can use even with the experience, unless you want to customize it, for the custom it takes the manual, full-bodied but mandatory. The shot is sweet compared to its flagship sisters and the motor drive can also work in silent mode. The viewfinder is extraordinarily bright, with all the information possible and imaginable at your fingertips, without bothering the aim, a real pleasure to aim and shoot with her. The MB-40, the grip that accelerates it to 8 fps, for me, is oblige, offers optimal balance and replicates the commands for vertical shooting, which never hurts. You could stay hours talking about all those and other aspects of our flagship, the only advice I can give is to try it. Personally, coming from a Canon world from a lifetime, I chose L'F6 for analogue, overtaking the EOS-1 V HS and I think I made the right choice, even if this involved the purchase of a different optical park that, moreover, I enjoyed with its sisters Previous. Try it and you'll see! Paul.

Pros: Excellent machine, the best choice for those who today still shoot in analogue but at the same time want good electronic support

Cons: It does not recognize the Nikkor lenses AF-S Series E (electronic diaphragm) or rather, recognizes them as focal, as autofocus and stabilization but you can not change the aperture that works precisely at all opening only

Opinion: The Nikon F6 is an important, well built and very solid machine. Many compare it to a F100 a bit ' more ' massive but it is not so, the F6 is a machine built impeccably using solid and robust materials (just to cite an example, in the F100 the back door is entirely plastic)! Even the comparison with the good F5 still does not hold, the F6 has a bunch of functions that the F5 does not have (older project), for example: date back and intervalometer already integrated-more points and more autofocus mode-via the INFO button, below the rear display , you can access all the information regarding the films that have been used, with as much of date, ISO, focal and time/aperture for each shot and much more! They work perfectly all lenses Nikkor AF-S series G (where present also with stabilization) the Nikon F6 is definitely the best choice for those who today want to take pictures in analogue but with good electronic support! Ermanno.
