I do use the Zeiss Nikon ZF.2 lenses on the F6, although the Nikon lenses are very nice, for the most part I wanted an up-grade so I've bought the manual focus Zeiss prime lenses to use on the camera. I did have the F3, F4, F5 in the past, and thought the F6 was the next step for an up-grade. I was looking for the best film camera ever. When they switched from the Nikon F5, they moved into digital for the most part. The camera never got the respect it was due and very few pros switched to one. The F6 came out right at the end of film's heyday, just as digital was really taking off. The world has switched to digital, but I've still enjoyed shooting with film for the past few years.
Nikon F6, just might be the best film camera ever I installed the "L" screen with the 45 degree split in the middle, which makes it very easy to manually focus. I think the design is such that you're supposed to do it once and forget about it-not like the other F cameras with ground glass screens. The interchangeable focus screens for this camera are plastic and a little clumsy to change out. Battery life is excellent it takes the little C123 batteries that are pretty easy to find now. I only wish that it had the removable viewfinder like the other Nikon F cameras. It feels like a rubber covered block of metal-but isn't too heavy! I own many Nikons: F, F2, F3, F4, F5, Df, D750 and 35Ti, and this one even beats out my Df as the favorite. This camera feels incredible in the hand. The frames per second are almost as fast as my F5-it'll rip through a roll of film in a scary way. The autofocus performs better it seems than my Nikon Df and D750. The build quality of this camera is ten out of ten.
Best and Favorite Camera I Have Ever Owned
