A lovely Nikon F on the front cover of a naturists magazine.
I hope this isn't too rude for members of the forum  ;)

Drats - I got all excited - for I thought that we had at long last  tracked down an image of the super ultra rare left hand version of the Nikon F!

Bloody photoshop!

Come to think of it, have left handed versions of camera bodies ever been made?

I know of a few bodies whose film advance levers have been on the bottom of the body, but no left hand ones that I can recall.

Wasn't one of the first Exacta cameras left-handed? The version with a built-in cutting knife in case you had cut off a piece of film to have it developed immediately.

Bjørn, you are right.

This example has its film advance lever on top of the body.  The one I was thinking of had its advance lever on the bottom; an Alpha maybe.  I will keep looking.

Bert Stern's photoseries of Marilyn Monroe and a Nikon F
http://www.shootingfilm.net/2012/10/marilyn-monroe-with-nikon-f-by-bert.html

+ about as many photos of celebrities sporting a Nikon F as you can imagine... it seems the Nikon marketing of its time was focusing on this or then just about everyone was using a Nikon F (both likely true)
