Review: Nikon F3

As I have chosen Nikon as my primary camera “platform”, it only makes sense to have some film bodies to use with my growing collection of F-Mount lenses.

Nikon’s latest P-series camera has the look and feel of a classic rangefinder, minus the viewfinder. For those who prefer a more traditional control layout and don’t require a viewfinder, it’s an exciting new addition to Nikon’s lineup.
