I used Nikon F, F2, F3, F4 and F5 35mm cameras for 40 years between 1966 and 2006... so kind of have a liking for them! They're very simple to use as well as being extremely reliable under any conditions from inside studios to outer space.
And I still use old manual Nikkors on my digital DSLR ~ if you're a similar type you could link with me at "Ed Buziak / Fotoformat" on Facebook.
I’m sure that’s a Nikon F5 hidden under the wraps! Astronaut Mike Good, STS-132 mission specialist, uses an extravehicular activity (EVA) camera during a spacewalk training session in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) near NASA’s Johnson Space Center on September 30th 2009. crookedindifference:

Black “plain prism” Nikon F + 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor. I’m guessing there is Nikon 36-exposure motor-drive mounted underneath this mint-condition camera body; but it is only possible to see the two chrome control buttons on the motor-drive’s back plate just below the serial number and to the left of the lever-winder’s tip. design-photographs nikon f motor black - austin calhoon fromand:

Nikon D600 + 85mm f/1.8 Nikkor lens… I will probably upgrade to a Nikon D600 next year specifically for my Alamy (stock agency) images. I don’t want a larger or heavier camera than my current D300, and I have few old manual focus Nikkors which are of very good quality and will easily stand the test of a 24mp full-frame sensor. I also like this product shot… it is clever in that the use of the 85mm f/1.8 lens (quite a bit less bulky than the famous f/1.4 version) rather than a standard 50mm f/1.4 lens makes the body appear more compact than it really is.
