Nikon F6

The Nikon F6 is a 35mm film single-lens reflex camera body that became commercially available during 2004, and is the sixth top-of-the-line professional film camera in Nikon's line since the introduction of the Nikon F in 1959. The Nikon F6 is designed by Nikon and manufactured at their Sendai Plant.

The F6 is the current model of Nikon's F series and it is still in production. It replaces the Nikon F5, manufactured from 1996 to 2004. The Nikon F6 accepts nearly any Nikon F-mount lens with full metering functionality, except for non-AI (non-aperture indexing lenses made before 1977, unless the camera was modified by Nikon Service).
