The Nikon F6 is a 35 mm film single-lens reflex camera body that became commercially available during 2004, and is the sixth top-of-the-line professional film camera in Nikon's line since the introduction of the Nikon F in 1959. The Nikon F6 is designed by Nikon and manufactured at their Sendai Plant.
The F6 is the current model of Nikon's F series and it is still in production. It replaces the Nikon F5, manufactured from 1996 to 2004. The Nikon F6 accepts nearly any Nikon F-mount lens with full metering functionality, except for non-AI (non-aperture indexing lenses made before 1977, unless the camera was modified by Nikon Service).
The F6's styling resembles that of the Nikon D2X, its digital contemporary. Its industrial designer was Giorgetto Giugiaro, who has designed all Nikon professional cameras since the Nikon F3.
The F6 is Nikon's first F-series camera without an interchangeable viewfinder pentaprism.
The F6 uses the same Multi-CAM 2000 autofocus module as the D2X professional-level digital SLR, which is a DX camera (APS-C frame size of 23.7 x 15.7 mm). The F6 is a 135 film camera (24 × 36 mm frame size) and since the same AF sensor unit is used in both cameras, the AF sensors cover a smaller area of the F6's frame relative to the coverage on the D2X.
