How many of these have you owned?

How many do you still have?

I can't see my FE2 or F-801s listed (but I still have them).

I did see an FE2 and FM2 in one of the videos - at the end; I think there was a row of three, with the FA making up the numbers.

I still have F90X, FE and F. I sometimes wonder if it is worthwhile getting the F repaired - it is a beautiful piece to hold.

I didn't see my F3 and my FM2 only got a brief mention at the tail end of one of the FA Ads. Well Spotted Gary.

Wait till you see what I'm buying today. (I already have it, but I'll just be paying for it tonight.) :) :)

Just a Nikon FM2N which barely gets a mention. My two F80's are from a later era. I am tempted to get a F3HP but I just dont rattle off enough film for it to be worthwhile

Aahhh...nostalgia. Nikon F and then an F2 and a nikkormat. A few days ago I met a an elderly woman in the city who had a Rollieflex around her neck. She said she had a darkroom under the house. Her camera was a special grey collectors model and worked as well as the day it was made.

For those interested you can also watch similar vintage ads from Cannon, Minolta, Fujifilm, Konica, Pentax and Olympus here:

Some odd stuff...
