Episode 73 - Nikkormats!!!

About this episode

The episode discusses the history and features of Nikkormats cameras and their significance in photography.

In this episode, I'm joined by Alex Luyckx, Bill Smith, Brian DuBois, John Roberts, and Mike Eckman to chat all things Nikkormats, a fantastic and well-built line of Nikon Cameras from the 1960's and 1970's. We dive into a bit of the history, why we like them, what differentiated them from the proper F's, and what their successors in the Nikon brand seem to have been in the 1980's and 1990's and beyond. We also dive into some fabulous Nikkor glass, a bit about film and developing, a bit of Canon and Miranda talk, and a super special Nikon F3AF that Mike sniped (just kidding), or rather, received and gave a bit of a review of. Thanks for listening!!!
