The Nikon F3, one of the most legendary cameras ever made, is celebrating its 45th birthday this year – and in those 45 years it has been used by some of the all-time photographic greats, everywhere from outer space to the world's most dangerous war zones.
Launched back in March 1980, the Nikon F3 carried a price tag of ¥175,000 – which in today's money is about ¥266,000, which is approximately $1,880 / £1,400 / AU$2,900. An absolute bargain for one of the best film cameras (and, indeed, best cameras period) ever made – and you got a 50mm f/1.4 lens with it!
