I doubled down on F-mount and bought a Nikon F6 film SLR camera

By [NR] admin | Published: December 25, 2019


It’s almost 2020 and Nikon still sells brand new F6 film SLR cameras for $2,549 at Adorama (sold out) and B&H (in stock now). The F6 is one of the best film cameras ever made and has been on my GAS radar for a very long time. I usually shoot 1-2 rolls of film per year just for fun and to freak out my kids, so when I saw that B&H sales refurbished Nikon F6 cameras for $1,899, I did not need much convincing… it was the perfect holiday gift – enjoy a few unboxing pictures and Happy Holidays:

Rumored Zenit lenses for Nikon

By [NR] admin | Published: December 23, 2019



I received some information that Zenit will be stepping up their game in 2020 and has planned at least three new F-mount lenses (see also this post):

  • Zenitar 50mm f/1.2 EA full-frame lens for Nikon F-mount (not to be mistaken with the current Zenitar 50mm f/1.2 APS-C DSLR lens)
  • Zenitar 60mm f/2.8 macro lens for Nikon F-mount
  • A third unknown lens for F-mount



Zenit is also working on new lenses for Nikon with autofocus and electronic coupling (electronic aperture control). Their new lenses will be with new optical designs (not taken from older lenses).

Zenit also has the Zenitar 50mm f/0.95 full-frame lens that could easily be made for Nikon Z-mount.

Zenit now has an official website in the US: https://zenit.store. Zenit lenses are also sold at Amazon.

Here is a close-up of the upcoming Zenitar 1.2/50EA and 2.8/60 lenses:
