The F6 (2004) is the final professional 35mm film body from Nikon. It uses a 1,005-pixel RGB matrix meter (lifted from the digital D2X), 11-point Multi-CAM 2000 autofocus, vertical-travel kevlar/aluminum shutter to 1/8000s, full PASM modes plus 1/3-stop bracketing and TTL flash. Magnesium-alloy body, full weather sealing. Without the MB-40 battery grip it weighs 975 g, smaller than the F5; with the grip it equals or exceeds an F5's mass and runs from EN-EL4 lithium-ions.

Released 2004. Production continued until October 2020 — the final Nikon film camera, ending Nikon's continuous film-camera production that began with the rangefinder Nikon I in 1948. By 2020 the F6 was effectively a custom-build, with low monthly volumes and a long lead time. No successor; Nikon's strategy is fully digital.
The F6 is the apex predator of 35mm autofocus film cameras. Every feature a working photographer wanted in a film body in 2004 — fast AF, accurate matrix metering, weather sealing, pro ergonomics, 8 fps with the grip — fits in a body smaller than the F5. The fact that Nikon kept it in production for 16 years signals there was a real, if small, professional film market through the 2010s.
For 2026 buyers, the F6 is the most-recommended "modern" film SLR: every modern Nikkor AF-S lens autofocuses, matrix metering is flawless, and the shutter is engineered for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Used prices held high through the 2020 discontinuation announcement.
Full F-mount compatibility with metering on all AI-and-later lenses, autofocus on AF/AF-S Nikkors. Common: 24-70/2.8 AF-S, 70-200/2.8 AF-S VR, 50/1.4 AF, 35/1.4 AF-S, 105/2.8 Macro AF-S. MB-40 battery grip (8 fps, EN-EL4 power). MF-22 100-frame data back. Speedlight SB-800 / SB-900 / SB-910 with full TTL.
