The Nikon F6 is a 35 mm film single-lens reflex camera body manufactured by Nikon between 2004 and 2020.[1][2] It was the sixth film camera in Nikon's 35mm F-series SLR line-up.[3] Designed by Nikon, the model was manufactured at their Sendai plant.[4]

The F6 was the most recent and final model in Nikon's F series. The model was discontinued in October 2020.[5] It replaced the Nikon F5, manufactured from 1996 to 2004. It can accept any Nikon F-mount lens with full metering functionality, excluding non-AI. At the time it was discontinued, the F6 was the last remaining film SLR still in production.
