NFL photographer uses Nikon film camera to capture Philadelphia Eagles in throwback Kelly Green uniforms

Philadelphia Eagles photographer Ed 'Eagles' Eye' Mahan holds a Nikon F at an Eagles game .

It's rather fitting that official Philadelphia Eagles photographer, Ed Mahan, reverted back to one of the best film cameras to capture the Birds' win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

And what better way to celebrate the 2017 Super Bowl champions' past than with a retro camera?

A photograph from an article on the Eagles' website shows Ed using a Nikon F with a Photomic prism and motor drive. The article reveals that the veteran sports photographer hadn't picked up a film camera for two decades, making this charming reunion long overdue.
