The Nikon F Photomic FTN, introduced in 1968, represents the absolute peak of the legendary Nikon F—the camera that defined the modern professional SLR; this version features the highly advanced FTN finder, which introduced "semi-automatic" maximum aperture indexing (the famous "Nikon shuffle" of the aperture ring) and highly accurate center-weighted metering (60/40) that became a Nikon hallmark. Renowned for its tank-like durability and modular versatility, the F Photomic FTN was the trusted tool of Vietnam War photojournalists and NASA astronauts alike, offering a nearly indestructible mechanical shutter and a vast system of Nikkor lenses, making it the definitive symbol of 20th-century professional photography.
