You never really know what you are going to get out of the darkroom in the end! The images are different as well in very subtle ways but I admit that I do not make silver prints any more and scan all the negs.The Nikon F6 is Nikon’s flagship film camera that includes the latest Nikon advances such as the 11-area AF system for exceptionally high-speed autofocus operation with outstanding accuracy, and the Creative Lighting System for incomparable flash photography. There is something addictive about the tension of the unknown as well. I love using the amazing digital gear we have now but much appreciate the meditative process of shooting film as well. I really enjoy the slowness, enforced consideration and how difficult it all is (not that difficult though) when compared with shooting dozens of frames in a few seconds on one of my digital cameras. I now use a beautiful, wooden field camera that I recently bought. Having spent much of my life in a studio with a large format monorail as my weapon of choice, I now love going out to spend hours shooting just one or two, very carefully considered, 5X4, black and white landscape images. None whatever.īut, I have loads of fun shooting medium, and especially large format film! OK, not using Nikon cameras (although I have two large format Nikkor lenses), so off piste a little and I admit that I don't do it very often. There is absolutely no sense in shooting film now. Pick up an FM2 and a roll of slide film and savour the anciene regime. Those later bodies led the way to the current DSLR bodies and the new digital world. Given a choice of all the Nikon film bodies - and they are in my opinion simply the best ever made - I would choose an FM2n or the FM3a over the clearly ultimate state of the art F6 or massive F5. In later years I added an FM3a which is an even more delightful mechanical jewel with a little more automation. Lots of Nikon accessories - motor drive etc and access to all the old Nikon glass, some of which was and is capable of super results and available cheap as chips secondhand. Shutter speed of 1/4000 was and is quite an achievement - my shutters still working perfectly hundreds of thousands of shots later. When available new it cost much less than the "Pro" F3 which had more electronics to go wrong and which lacked the 250 flash sync of the FM2n. Having used a couple of FM2n cameras for 30 years +, the FM2n gets my vote as a mechanical marvel which is likely to work and deliver great images long after lesser models have given up - and that includes being able to work without a battery.
