Jan 06, 2009 Nikon USA serial number? All signs point to it being a US model except maybe the serial number: it's got an oval Nikon USA sticker inside the. Oct 23, 2012 Just curious about how far serial numbers are at on F6s My first F6 is 0010943 (2006) and my new F6 is 0027115 (2007). Is anyone out there with an F6.

I wonder how you came up with that $400 difference. I haven't checked lately, but as far as I know, used F5 are dirt cheap nowadays, like merely a few hundred dollars. New F6 bodies are around $2500 each, and the vertical grip is extra. I used to like the F5 a lot between 1997 to 2005 when it was my primary camera, but a lot of features have been improved since 1997.

In fact, even the F6's AF system is no longer current. Between the two, the F6 has a newer AF system and is the only Nikon film SLR that is iTTL compatible. It appears that used F6 bodies go for about $1500 on ebay - and I recently sold a slightly used excellent condition F5 for $575 (including two MN-30 batteries and the charger), for which I paid more than double that amount about 5 years ago. What always bothered me with the F5 was that I lost matrix metering with non-CPU lenses. With the F3/F4/F5 I owned three cameras with interchangeable viewfinders - but never bothered to acquire an additional one (except the exchange of the DE-2 for a DE-3 on the F3). I have an F5 and an F6 (and lots of others too having fully developed NAS) and I use them for different things. For walking around and taking travel-type shots the F6 is simply more usable and lightweight, the AF is much more friendly and you get matrix metering with any lens (very important for me as most of my shooting is with Zeiss ZFs now).

Working off a tripod and using MLU the F5 is actually more handy as you can dispense with a cable release and for that kind of work matrix metering is not particularly useful. The F5 is not a 'walking around' kind of camera unless you don't mind scaring small children and the elderly. New Super Mario Bros Wii U Rom Download. Although interchangeable finders are a great idea in practise I have never done it - and I even own different finders for different cameras. If I had to choose a 'Desert Island' camera - i.e.

Only have one camera out of all the ones I own - it would be the F6 easily. Download Mp3 Ost The Raid Redemption there. Or maybe the F2AS.

Not digital anyway. I don't know why you haven't looked at the F100. Sure it doesn't have 3D RGB metering like the F5, but in a lot of ways it is an improvement over the F5.

If you're really sure you need to change out the standard finder, F5 is the only way, but I've been shooting for nearly 30 years with SLRs and haven't needed to use anything other than the standard finder in my work. I bought a mint late serial number F100 on ebay for $150.

They are very common at this price, though mint late serial number examples go for $200-225 or so. I can remember buying a used one in excellent (not mint) condition, early serial number, in 2002 for $750 cash, and I was pretty excited about that at the time as I was upgrading from an N70.
