Thanks for the description and photos Richard.  Very interesting to see the technology of making cameras progress.

richardHaw:
the stories are even more interesting such as using jet engine oil on the F just so that it will work on -20 temperature. :o :o :o

and the MDX prototype that was lost in the taxi  ::) the MDX is a camera with A and S modes and a built-in advance. This is 1977 I think.

What was interesting was the Nikon F originally was to have automatic exposure mode and even autofocus.  ::)

Erik Lund:
