The Nikon system approach-the concept of extending the advantages of the 35mm SLR camera to all areas of photography-has been the cornerstone of Nikon SLR design from the very beginning. It is on this principle that the Nikon system has evolved with singular success through the years and continues to evolve.
Each Nikon camera offers specific advantages, depending on the photographer's individual needs and preferences and on the type of photography to be accomplished. Yet, all the cameras share the unmistakable stamp of Nikon system design unity. This is a purposeful unity, intended not only to permit the interchange among all the cameras of hundreds of Nikon system lenses and accessories but also to enable the photographer to move from one Nikon camera to another with the reassurance of an essential similarity of major controls and operating patterns. Features shared by all Nikon cameras, include:

Interchangeability of Nikon System Lenses more than 100, manufactures from 1959 to present, from 6mm Fisheye to Ultra telephoto 2000mm,  from Manual Focus to Auto-Focus.

Interchangeability of Nikon Accessories for close-up, macro and micro work, viewfinder attachments, flash units and systems-even, in many instances, carrying cases ... an array of more than three hundred precision aids freely interchangeable between Nikon cameras.

Center-Weighted, Through-the-Lens Metering, Nikon F, F2, F3, FE, FM, EL2, EM and Nikkormat FS, FT, FTn, FT2, FT3  to the state of the art 3D Color Matrix Metering, Nikon F5, proven through literally millio ns of exposures as the most consistently accurate or through the-lens exposure control.

High Performance Automatic Firepower Capability through photography's largest system of Motor Drives and Auto Winders, each built for use with specific camera models.

All Metal, Focal-Plane Shutters, assuring accuracy and durability unattainable in other shutter types.

Uniquely Smooth, Responsive Handling with the convenient Apollo film transport lever, last production of Nikon F , which also activates the exposure meter, F2 and the famed Nikon 'K'-Type finder screen with 3-way focusing accuracy... features patterned after Nikon cameras built for the U.S. space program.
