BG if you dont know, dont answer, spaming kenrockwell is low, rockwell is a loon anyone links to him i have serious concerns for.
I thought it was just the original F. I’ll have to do some research and see what I can come up with for you. Search for Joe Ehrenreich for starters. He was the importer who did this.
Yeah, here you go:
“When Ehrenreich handled the Nikon F, he knew this was the future. He concentrated his energies towards promoting the new camera, and used his influence with Nippon Kogaku to direct resources in development and production towards the F. He got it in the hands of working pros, and they loved it. Soon the Nikon F was synonymous with professional photography. To the lay person, professional photographers used Nikons. And so many serious, and even not-so-serious amateur photographers bought Nikons, as they were professional cameras.”
