Hi I’ve seen that there are some variations of the Nikon F, first units, 66xxxx models, red dot ones.... but does not appear one named ”Apollo”. It was a late Nikon F that had some pieces from the F2. It was nicknamed after the space Apollo missions that used to carry Nikon Cameras but nothing to do with NASA version.

Hi Diser, I am happy to see you again. That is correct but they were a bit more than 5000. Please check this web to see all the info of this last batch:

You are right. Could be up to 116,000!

That's right even though not every "Apollo" share the same differences. Nikon F was slowly evolving to the F2. Mine is one of the last 13000 Fs
