#Old nikon f6 manuals
It is a scanner designed to do 4x5 film directly (not a flatbed) so replacements are thousands of dollars.Over the years I have acquired many Nikon & NIKKOR brochures, instruction manuals, user's guides, leaflets, parts lists, repair manuals - both as the genuine printed products and as digital PDF files.

That's a problem on some hardware, I have a scanner where the only software that supports it is tied to Windows XP, or you can use third-party software (VueScan)_that talks to it directly and bypasses the official drivers. If nobody bothered to write an open-source utility then that function would be unusable for modern PCs. This approach is probably still preferable to direct USB connection though, because presumably that would require utility software that would now be incredibly out of date and tied to like Windows XP or something. Personally I think that's a little clunky and it would be better to go with a little transflash card, but the F6 was designed in 2004 and I guess at that point it would have been a SD card and maybe even compactflash and they didn't want the size. It has an internal memory bank and you dump it to a compactflash card with the MV-1 accessory that the other person mentioned. It turns out that this film was developed for the National Reconnaissance Office for satellite surveillance and since they've moved to digital it's no longer being produced. It also has very different aesthetics, it just looks different (because each film stock has different exposure characteristics).Īlso, some film stocks have unique frequency response curves - the astrophotography community is mourning the loss of Technical Pan film because it was perfect for photographing the hydrogen-alpha emissions of stars. It has an exponential "shoulder" to the exposure curve that tends to make it resistant to over-exposure, where with digital if it's overexposed it's just gone, clipped to white.

IMO however it is much easier to achieve "reasonable" results comparable with modern full frame digital on MF/LF, because you don't need everything to be insanely high-resolution and perfectly aligned, the larger film area means that you can get good resolution out of "basic" equipment that is doing 2000-3000 dpi compared to the 4000 dpi of a drum scan that is necessary to max out 35mm.įilm also has very different technical characteristics from digital. It takes specific equipment and good technique, and often you are limited by the shallower depth of field or diffraction. Medium and large format can get more because it's more film area, albeit not as much as you think in practice. You can easily get 50 mp full frame digital nowadays - although the lenses to drive that are another problem. Even with 4000 dpi drum scans it's hard to go much beyond like 25 megapixels of effective resolution. Today's top-end full frame cameras have better resolution than 35mm film.

They really are a fascinating company.Ĭheck out the 1001 Nights of Nikkor, a fascinating series of stories about all that stuff. They also made unique 180-degree orthographic lenses for atmospheric surveying - measure cloud cover/etc by photographing the sky every day and get the full horizon to horizon in one frame. The Nikonos series underwater cameras were really the only thing in their class, with unique water-contact optics that avoided rainbow diffraction from the port by putting the optics right against the water. Nikon actually has a history of doing that as well. If you do need it, there is no substitute. Most people don’t need it but it’s certainly unique.

It is a modern pro camera that happens to shoot film. The fastest and lowest-light-capable autofocus, the best matrix metering, digital recording of exposure data (just like EXIF but for film!), etc.
If you want/need to shoot film and you shoot subjects that are commonly done with modern digital SLRs and considered out of reach of a film camera, the F6 is the best game in town. The F6 is the most advanced and capable film DSLR ever built.
