I suspect the F6 was selling in very tiny numbers and perhaps the last batches sold remain boxed with collectors. Never had an F6, though I did have the monster F5 for a while. I too still use film fairly regularly albeit with a rangefinder camera now, my remaining Nikon film bodies don't get much use now. The latter seems to be doing a lot better right now than the former.Īs for the F6, there will always be ebay.And as for film, there is always Leica. The F6, from many accounts and not just yours, is the greatest 35 mm film SLR ever produced. I don't have, nor wish to have, an F6-too many bells and whistles for me (my other 4 film cameras are rangefinders, and only 1 of them has a light meter). I have 5 film cameras, including an Nikon FE from when it first came out. I hope to get many years of enjoyment from the last and greatest 35mm SLR camera ever made! I just recently had my F6 CLA'd and fresh rubber installed. With recent financial troubles that Nikon is having, I'm not too surprised about the news though. The F6 had a good sixteen year run but I always hoped Nikon would keep it going just because it's the last of it's kind. The last of a great line of Nikon film cameras, end of an era. As of a couple weeks ago it was still listed as a current product.Īs of today, Nikon Japan now shows the F6 as 旧製品 which means "old product" and it's now listed with other archived products. Recently there were some rumors stating the F6 had been discontinued but I refused to believe it until it was stated on the Nikon Japan website.
