[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 67410, member: 6548"] The Nikon F was the 35mm SLR that took the crown away from the rangefinder crowd way back in 1959. Up until it's release rangefinders ruled. After the F SLR became king and still is to this day. It also heralded the F mount bayonet lens and interchangeable focusing screens and meterheads. It was the first true system camera. For over 10 years just about every photojournalist in the world used the F system. It is world wide renowned then and now for it's durability and near indestructibility. It has probably won more Pulitzers than any other camera ever made. It has been used in space. Yes sir that is the one that put Nikon on the map for sure.
