See our Best 35mm Film Cameras here for more selection. But, if you are someone with a good experience of photography, and would like to work with film on a professional level, this is the camera for you. You’d be better off getting something less sophisticated.

If you’re looking for a film camera just to get a taste of how it feels working with film, then I recommend that you pass on the Nikon F4. Further, every lever and dial of the F4 is designed to resist dust and moisture making it the perfect companion for the professionals to work in any sort of challenging condition. The body is also laminated with a rubber compound body surface that also works as a shock absorber. The shutter blades in the Nikon F4 are made from an ultra-lightweight compound material (carbon fiber compound) which is lighter and more durable than titanium. It will take any sort of punishment that you throw at it. The body is made of a special alloy of Copper Silumin Aluminum and is built like a tank. The Nikon F4S and F4E, the weight becomes ever more apparent. And with the larger battery pack/motor drive variants viz. Continuing on the legacy of the Nikon F3, the Nikon F4 was meant solely for the professionals.

The Nikon F4 was by no means designed with beginners or amateurs in mind.
