Nikon Pure Photography

<p>Leslie, I am glad it was you who brought up the thread from 2010. I just took a look at it and I sure stand by everything I wrote back then. If I were calling the shots at Nikon, there would never be any FM3a, F6, retro S2 rangefinder or any retro DSLR. Of course, the small number of people who are attracted to such products are very glad that I am not the one calling the shots at Nikon.</p>

<p>Check out the price for the F6. Even though very few people are buying new F6 in these days, its price has gone way up, so was the FM3a in the used market after it was discontinued. These are botique products catered to collectors and a small group of well heeled customers. Supply is limited to maintain a high price point. Those who expect prices to go down will be very disappointed.</p>

<p>Leslie, your $1600 wished for price tag would really help ! You missed by $1000. </p>

<p>No problem Shun, I do think the coming DF is overpriced, but the d600 was/is a good buy, except for the hyped up mirror/oil problem. Some are drooling over the DF though...Hope it will be a success for nikon... </p>

<p>John, the ~$1600 price I gave was more for the d600 (a FF d40 like camera, I recalled) </p>

<p>The Nikon Df is now official. I know, most of the specs and images have already been leaked: <a href="/nikon-camera-forum/00c829">http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00c829</a></p>
