Very impressive video !! I haven't watched your Nikon ones before this one, but I will. I had a Nikon F Photomic (non-TTL) in 1964. And I have a F5 with the fancier data back ... that I got off a NY seller on eBay in 2008 or so. Anyway, you crammed a lot of information into that 37 minute video !
I was sad to see that you don't have a video about the F6. When I had bought the F3 and F4, I decided to skip the F5 and go directly to the F6. One reason is that I don't like battery grips, and could not avoid it with the F5. The F4 I have i the smallest version. I am sure F5 is fantastic, but I love the F6. It is a bliss to switch between that and my DSLRs.
That's news to me. I don't think we have a video on the F6 yet, because we don't own one. Regardless, I think your reasoning and decision are perfect. F6 is the best upgrade from F4. We, however, run a Technology Heritage channel and look at the imporance of an item in history. F5 had a special place in history at the time when film was still dominant and generational improvements were substantial. F6 had to compete with the the young but strong digital rebels. A losing battle. I think our F6 video, when we eventually come around to it, will be like Star Wars episode 9. A long wait, a sense of antipation, and a farewell.
Another well presented, comprehensive and detailed review. Thanks for posting. I wonder - have you considered doing a review of the Minolta Dynax 9 film camera? Never as popular as its Nikon and Canon rivals, but equally featured and with similar build quality. It even had 12 fps burst rate!! Just a thought.
Dynax 1 is a great, neglected camera. The last failed attempt at capturing a part of the professional market. But the legacy of Dynax 9 lives in Sony, almost to this day. Sony Alpha is basically the Dynax heritage re-packaged as digital to take over the world. My greater interest, however, is in Maxxum 9000 (or Alpha 9000), which was much more successful and far ahead of its time. It was copied by all other camera manufacturers. It will be featured in a video soon, I hope.
I enjoyed your Nikon F to F5 videos. It would be good to finish the 'set' with the F6, even if it isn't maybe as professional as the others....it's still a single digit F-series camera though and the last of the line.
There is just a little detour through the enemy territory. I thought I should honestly cover some of the competition such as Canon F-1, which was uploaded yesterday. Your opinion on that will be valuable. Next we I'm going to cover some of the minor F's such as FM2n. Nikon F6 is still coming, as soon as I manage to buy one.
Very informative. I have an F5 and an F100. Can you help clarify why the Nikon F100 accepts a third-party lens (Tamron 24-70 VC) (i.e. autofocuses) but the F5 doesn't?
I dont know the reason with your Tamron. But a good range of 3rd party lenses work with Nikon F5. Some will not be compatible with the autofocus system and some with electornic aperture will not work. But a lot of 3rd party lenses with F mount will work, at lease in the manual focus and aperture mode.
Excellent video! I also have a Nikon F5 (amongst other Nikons), and I Love it - Really a Masterpiece. Keep up the Good Work - I´m now a subscriber. 😄📷👍
I’d really enjoy a video about the Nikon F100… as a proud custodian of an F,F4,F5 and an F100 I can’t pick a favourite but I usually reach for the F100… until I can afford an F6 😂
I hope you have also watched our videos on F and F4. Sadly, at this time we don't own a Nikon F100. We have many other Nikons which are on the list for review, such as FE, EM F-410 and F510, S3. As soon as we manage to get the F100, it will be on the list for review. Similarly as soon as we can afford to get the F6, the F series of videos will be completed.
The only thing I disagree with is that the F6 is lesser. Ok, the F6 doesn't have different prisms, but the red focus-points in the viewfinder of the F6 is a huge leap forward from the F5 mystery arrows that make me pause to remember what it is pointing at.
In your Nikon F timeline you forgot to mention the the Nikon F-801 which had quite a few things in common with the F4... unfortunately the battery compartment was one of it's weak points
One of the most beautiful body : smooth elegant and solid. A myth rather affordable by these days. The only issue Nikon got is that the body for « confirmed amators » the F100 was also very efficient and half the price of this one…
philmtx3fr, Thank you for your observation. I can see that you have been binge watching a lot of our videos and making positive comments. Thank you for that also.
@@TechHeritageyour videos are all very well made and even if I am a Nikon amator I always learnt something from,your videos so thx for this. If you love Nikon (what I guess…) we have a very complete museum around Lyon( center east of France). I you have the opportunity to go to France consider it as a good destination ( it s in the middle between Paris and the Mediterranean Sea… so a good pause :))
Thanks for the tip. I have been to Lyon several times, but I did not know about the Museum. It will be on my list for next time. We have 15 Nikon cameras out of 350 in total, covering different brands of film camera from 1915 to 2015.
@@TechHeritage this muséum is in the suburbs of Lyon in a small town called saint bonnet de mûre. I think you have there more than 500 Nikon items from first rangefinders to last digital reflex.
Those will be subject for the Pentax Series of videos. On this occasion the subject was F5, its history and relevance to the Nikon F heritage. I will add your suggestions to the list of future videos.
Nikon F the Legend “The Chosen One” Designer: Yusaku Kamekura Nikon F2 the New King The Son of “F” Designer: Nikon F3 the Hero The New Direction Designer: Giorgetto Giugiaro Nikon F4 the Terminator The Transition Designer: Giorgetto Giugiaro Nikon F5 the Peak The Last Emperor Designer: Giorgetto Giugiaro
Thanks. These were covered in the other videos on the Nikon F Series. But please note that Yusaku Kamekura was not an Industrial designer in the same way as Giugiaro. He was a Graphic Designer and better known for working on the Posters and logo for the 1964 summer Olympics. He did relatively small work including the Nikon Logo and the original pyramidal, non-metered Nikon F Finder. The camera itself was designed by the Nikon Engineers partially based on the Nikon S Chassis.
F6 is not bad at all. I is fantastic. But it is not as big a jump as F4 to F5. Also it came a little too late. By that time Digital was clearly the way the world was going, including Nikon. It is said that Nikon was initially reluctant to release F6. But I am glad they did.
It's normally an collector item nowadays, considering photojournalism already switched to digital yet Nikon created another 35mm body. But if you can find one on good working condition on a very reasonable price, then why not? :D
Nickathos7428- Thank you for watching this video and taking the trouble to comment. With a view to features and advances in electronics, of course you would be 100% correct. But one could also argue that the latest Digital camera is even better. But our focus here is "Heritage". i.e. which cameras have a unique and enduring impact on the history of photography. You will see this focus in all of our videos, even the humble Canon AE-1 or Pentax K1000. More than 400 cameras here are in a museum environement and preserved as such.
Thank you for your feedback. Yes, indeed Nikon F6 of 1994 is better than Nikon F of 1959 and Nikon F2 and...so on. But is the jump from Nikon S to Nikon F greater or the jump from Nikon F5 to F6? If there is a curve for the rate of progress, where is the peak of that curve? The importance and influence on the technology heritage and development is our focus.
