Rather, an instrument of precision and perfection to be exercised, pushed to the limits a weapon against the ordinary a domineering force of photographic nature born to destroy the bell-curve of 'good enough' with every release of the refined, Kevlar focal plane shutter. But after reading up on it, running a few rolls of film through it and seeing the results I realized this was no camera to sit on a shelf gathering dust as a collector's item. Really more just to have one, in case it was their last. I bought my F6 new in August of 2008 just before leaving for a pho. The Nikon F6 is the superb culmination of so many years of Nikon innovation in one, jaw-dropping, drop-dead perfect 35mm film camera a final exclamation mark by the authors of photographic exclamation. portability matrix - and of course the fact that it's analog, not digital. What makes 35mm film special is the quality vs.

It’s not only worth doing but a good thing to do. The only way to be certain a camera (or lens) is not grey market is to have the Nikon USA warranty sheet.Shooting a film camera today still has meaning. Most of these are probably grey market (parallel imported), but sometimes they are imported by the official distributor, probably to make up numbers for a shipment. It is not uncommon for cameras with serial numbers from one region to end up in another region. I have come across one D810 with a 890xxxx serial number similar to the OP, the code above the barcode on the box was 'D810 (ME)' which I speculated was Middle East, but on reflection I suppose it could also be Mexico (I don't get a lot of info from these regions so it's hard to say) The serial number did not fit any other ranges so it appears this range is specific to Korea. For example I recently came across a D810 with 550xxxx serial number and a Korean warranty sheet. Most older camera models seem to have fairly broad regions such as Europe, Asia, USA, while some later models have very specific regional serial numbers. Having said that, the general serial numbers given by Thom Hogan don't really hold for most cameras these days, except for 2xxxxxx for Japan and 3xxxxxx for USA.

I am sure that most serial numbers go well beyond the numbers given, and that some regional serial numbers are missing completely.

The serial numbers quoted represent only those I have seen so far so they are far from complete. I have done some research on Nikon camera serial numbers, presented here: Nikon Cameras
