Summary

"The primary source of reference...packed with information on just about every item of Nikon equipment...."--Outdoor & Nature Photography. It's been the standard reference for Nikon aficionados since its first release--and this revised, updated edition is better than ever, with information on the new Nikon F100 and N60 lines, as well as on the latest lenses and flash units. If you've ever wondered what accessories will work with a classic camera or what year Nikon modified a lens design, look no further. Along with a complete history of the entire Nikon 35mm SLR system from its inception to the present, the guide contains compatibility charts, production dates, serial numbers and product designations. The construction, uses, pros, and cons of every camera body and accessory--even early and one-of-a-kind items--receive detailed coverage from a photographer's point of view. Includes nearly 150 photographs. 184 pages, 150 b/w illus., 7 1/2 x 10.
