As of December 2019, Nikon was still building new units of the F6.

And dude's camera got recalled:

"Taking a look at the serial number of my camera which is 35955 and comparing it to an F6 sold new in 2015 bearing the number 34875 I’d conclude that least 1080 units have been sold since then (approximately 270 cameras per year)."

"In fact, only 152 units are impacted… so few that Nikon actually lists every affected serial number in the recall notice:

0035842, ..., 0035955, ..."


Very clever.

And 270 film SLRs per year sounds perfectly reasonable.


There have been consistent rumors that Fujifilm stopped making most or all of their films around 2005 and have been selling old stock since then. I wouldn't be surprised if the same held true for Nikon F6
