Well I have a "V" but it's a EOS 300v Wonder if the "V" means something........
Grays of Westminster still have one in stock £1979
At that price it would be interesting to know who would buy the F6 to use as I would think these days advanced amateurs or pros would use digi for 35mm and MF or LF for film.
What Andy says, plus perhaps a London banker who's just got their bonus and always wanted an F6 as a youngster but couldn't afford one when they were 'new'. For someone like that, £2k is about the same as someone on an average wage buying a Chinese takeaway and a bottle of wine for the family. Then again, it could go to a collector who's got all the other top F* series Nikons and wants to complete the set with a new one.At that price it would be interesting to know who would buy the F6 to use as I would think these days advanced amateurs or pros would use digi for 35mm and MF or LF for film.

So are you after a 1969 Nikon?So I have recently been thinking I'd love to find a nice Nikon from the year I was born and now as I'm putting my first car back on the road a 1969 Mini that I've owned since I was 16 I'm now thinking I' want one the same age as the car too (I know sad isn't it?

Do you know someone who might help with that....

@Andysnap has recently bought one of those baby Rolleis, so you'll be able to swap notes (and results) with him. Some of those other cameras sound good fun too. There's plenty of info on where to buy film and get it processed at reasonable prices here in the F&C section too, but just ask if you can't find it or want some info. Best of luck with the cameras and don't forget to post some of you pics once you've tried them out.I'm obsessing about...which of the old cameras in my box of inherited stuff to try out first. I'm definitely going to try a Rolleiflex 4x4 ("baby") which seems to be in good condition. I've managed to get some 127 film for it. I've also got a Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta rangefinder (120) in the box also in very good nick, which will be next on the list. There are various ancient folders in the box, which will need more investigation, and several Leica 3's, so I'm spoilt for choice in 35mm. Nice problem to have!
There are some 612 and 617 pinhole cameras, I think...
More XPan goodness here (and THE photo set that makes me want to try out an XPan for a week or two every year):

What is it that you don’t like about pinhole cameras @srichards ?

Oh man, now I really really want an Xpan...
If only you knew of someone who lived close enough for you to try one?
Don’t be sorry Suz, I get that they’re not everyone cup of tea but it seemed like you were going to try it anyway.Everything. They're the marmite of the camera world for me. Sorry!
Stop it! I’ve got enough on without starting to work out which internal organs to sell! (but thanks [emoji6])
I’ve got a Leica CL sitting here that I borrowed off a friend to scratch the itch I’ve always had for them too. I’m glad I borrowed it and not bought one because I still don’t really get on with rangefinders as I’m left eye dominant. Maybe I should file the XPan under the same logic and save myself some money!
Awwww we could have negotiated a play with a Chroma in way of an exchange!
FYI, the rangefinder patch on the XPan is very bright and easy to use.
Hmmm....interesting! Tell you what, if you want to try out a Chroma I'm up for a swap if you are. I'm currently building up my own camera (I've got 84 boxes of Chroma parts in my office and none of them are mine!). Once it's built, I'll give you a shout and we can sort it out. Thanks for the offer
Ah that’s awesome! Thank you.
I’ll shoot some portraits on one and social media the shiz out of it!

Yeah, my brother had an Alfa, lovely to look at but it kept breaking down.It's one you think you ought to as all the cool kids are playing with pinhole cameras. It's like car people having to own an Alfa

I can lend you a Nikon with a Pinhole body cap if you want to have a play, or if you’ve already got a Nikon body I can lend you the cap.
