Best Looking Nikon Body ever.

[Tetrode]

OK, I thought I'd post this bit of frivolity - just for the fun of it.

I was going to title it 'Prettiest Nikon ever' but (cough) didn't think it would go down so well in CS's male dominated forum.

SO (moving right along) which body (over the many Nikon has made) in your opinion is the best looking Nikon body ever? Lets just decide on looks only and nothing else. i.e. Don't bring in ease of use, fps and all that. And no limited edition models either - it wouldn't be fair.

This a hard one for me to decide, there are several I'd nominate:

Nikon S3 rangefinder
Nikon SP rangefinder
Nikon F with Standard prism.
Nikon F2 with Standard prism.
FM2.
FM2/T.
F5.

Please feel free to add your own.

Hi

Just a suggestion; for those who respond, can post a small pic of the cam?

 

[littlejt]

yes FM2 is indeed pretty

 

[jeff49er]

F6 - I almost got that

F2! ^.^

For me it has to be the grand daddy of all Nikon SLR - the Nikon F.

The most lovely of the lot, the Nikon F Photomic FTn.

Oh you can find many images at this website. Goto http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/htmls/models/

Of course I love the rangefinders, but had never had a chance to actually hold one, only see on website, books and window shopping.

Is this Nikon S-1 ?

 

[zeith]

Is this Nikon S-1 ?

i think that's SP Limited Black Edition

 

[Tetrode]

Is this Nikon S-1 ?

There was no S1 rangefinder - just M, S, S2, S3, S4, SP.

The only Nikon S1 I know of would likely be a coolpix.

I noticed that there are no dSLRs listed yet....:dunno:

 

[calebk]

Cos dSLRS all look about the same (that's why someone asked how to identify the different bodies. haha.)

Chrome FM2 sits well with me. Ever seen one with a ZF 85 f/1.4 sitting on it? Sexy beast.
