Nikon F-601
This was my first Nikon. I think I bought it around 1992, after getting out of the army. I was happy with my Praktica B200, but then, I saw this F-601 for a price that I still think was a computer error and snap it. It was a revelation, fast autofocus, multimode, winder, so much technology! On top of that it had a superb build, it felt so good in my hands.
20 years have passed, but the camera is still going strong. The elegant layout, taken from the F-801 was to become a Nikon standard up to the present with the Nikon D-300s.
Long forgotten, this sort of budget F-801 s was, is a very competent machine and built to last. It brought a new class of people, like me, to the Nikon system, but at a fair price.
