Heavy Metal: The Nikon F2

Heavy Metal: The Nikon F2

by John Crane | Oct 7, 2015 | From the Past, Inspiration, Nippon Kogaku, Single Digit F's, Technical, Vintage Nikon

In each blog post I attempt to roll in an application to the F6. The F6 is, after all, the reason for this site – and why so many people come here: to read about it. For this series of posts in the spirit of “try something new… you...
