[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 203014, member: 16749"] How could that author neglect to include the Nikon F in that list? The F is the father of all Nikon SLRs; it may even be fair to say that it is the father of all modern SLRs regardless of brand. Surely it is the most important SLR ever made, either by Nikon or any other manufacturer. The majority of other cameras in that list would never exist if not for the success that Nikon had with the F. I want to think that the F2 also belongs on that list. It may not be as revolutionary as its immediate predecessor, the F, but it certainly represents an important step in refining the technology that the F introduced; and surely it is more important than several of the other cameras that were included. I may be a bit biased as far as the F2 goes. I've never owned an F, but an F2 is among my most prized material possessions. [/QUOTE]
