Description
Nikon’s most versatile film camera body. This high end professional camera, The F4s being equipped with MB21 high speed battery pack, was made available with no less than 4 battery packs (MB-20 standard, MB-21 High Power, MB-22 mains driven, and MB-23 heavy duty) and 4 finders (pentaprism, waist, action and 6X magnification) and a whole range of specialist screens. The body represents Nikon’s great and successful attempt at dominance of the autofocus market.
Through the years, photography has seen the development of advanced features such as high shutter speeds, fast flash synchronization, multi-segment metering and more. And through these years, professionals have asked for these features in their cameras, but they could not be made available.
The reason was simple. Reliability and high performance – not advanced features – are the hallmarks of a Nikon professional camera. So, until such features could be made to perform to Nikon professional standards, they would not be offered.
Now, without sacrificing strength, reliability or performance, Nikon has combined a selection of the most desirable features into an exciting new professional 35mm SLR… the new F4.
