A camera to add

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.

Please ignore eBay automatic sales, seems like a hiccup. I'll fix it.

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: https://www.destoutz.ch/nikon-f.html

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
