Nikon F6

Nikon Japan has placed the F6 in the "old product" category.

Hope the link works.

Nikon Has Finally Discontinued the F6, Its Last Film SLR: Report

Wonder when Nikon actually stopped making the F6. Recall that production of the venerable F3 stopped years before the official cancellation date.

Curious if a F7 or something like that is in the works or Nikon is done with film. Hoping it's the former but..................

Probably already in beta testing at Nikon’s secret underground unicorn ranch somewhere outside Sendai.

I see no announcement from Nikon that the F6 is discontinued and it is still listed as a current product on the Nikon USA site (though noted as "out of stock").

It has been shown as "out of stock" before because they make them in batches and wait for more demand from dealers.

It wouldn't be the first time that such a rumor was started to boost sales of a product.

Call me "in denial" if you wish but the fat lady hasn't sung yet.

Looks like she's already left the building on the Nikon.ca website. No film cameras listed apart from "archived" material on the FM-10 and F6. Hard to imagine how Nikon could possibly spark demand for a $2600 film camera in late 2020 with the threat of its discontinuation.

That's NikonUSA. MIA on the Nikon Canada site...

 

[compur]

Missing in Canada, eh? Well, I will wait for Nikon's announcement before mourning.

 

[MartinCrabtree]

Contrarians.........where would the 'net be without them?

 

[compur]

People who automatically believe everything they hear. Where would the net be without them?

 

[cgw]

Then there's the crew who denies the obvious. Lots of energy there!

 

[compur]

Yes, it is obvious that Nikon has not yet announced that the F6 is discontinued. Thanks for pointing that out.

Well it is the official Nikon site in Japan. That is where they're manufactured isn't it? By Nikon correct? You've a better source by all means share.
