American Links 

• John Liu (no relation that I know of) has a much nicer page regarding the Nikon F. [English]
• You can find information on how to fix balky FTn (and probably the similar DP-1 and DP-11) finders at Glen Walpert's page. [English]
• Stephen Gandy has written a few quite informative pages about collectible Fs (and earlier rangefinders) at CameraQuest's Classics Page. [English]
• Kyle Cassidy has graciously allowed me to reference pictures of an F with a Photomic prism on his equipment page, which includes pictures of various cameras (including a Nikkormat FT). [English]
• Pacific Rim Camera has excellent information on the F, including collectible models. [English]
• My friend Andy wrote up his experiences with the F2 a couple of months ago. [English]
• Philip Greenspun finally discovered the F2A recently, and would like to share his experiences with you. He definitely does not have a collector's perspective. [English]

 European Links 

• There is a version of the Gray's of Westminster newsletter online that contains excellent data regarding production dates and special Nikon F models. [English]
• David Nunn pointed me to another page regarding the Nikon F2. [English]
• A German site contains a brief history and usage of the F-series. [German]
• What did they say about flattery? Ah, it feels good nonetheless, Nicke. [English]
• Another German site gives a compact history of Nikon cameras, starting from the F. [German]

 Asian Links 

• This is beautifully illustrated page regarding early Nikon cameras (including the F and F2). [Japanese]
• This Malaysian site has perhaps the nicest pictures I've ever seen of Nikon F and F2's. [English]
• There is some information (in Japanese) regarding the F2 Titan at this site. The same site also hosts a F page. [Japanese]
• A similar site, with some pictures of the F and F/FTn can be found here. [Japanese]
• Another Japanese web publisher wrote up his impressions on the Nikon F2. [Japanese]
• What seems to be a history of the Nikon F and user report can be found here. [Japanese]

For general Nikon information, I recommend seeing my own Nikon links, which include links to Dr. Pietsch's page as well as the Nikon-Digest and Nikon FAQ.

Site rearranged by: leofoo ®. Credit: Hiura Shinsaku® from Nikomat Club of Japan for feeding some useful inputs on the introductory page. The great 3D logo by Kiasu; Ted Wengelaar®, Holland for his continuous flow of input of early Nikon bodies. Stephen Gandy's Cameraquest; Marc Vorgers from Holland for his additinal images on Nikon F Apollo; Hayao Tanabe corrected my Red Dot and Early F assertions. Gray Levett, Grays of Westminster publishes an excellent monthly historical look at Nikon products, from where I learned about the high-speed F's.
