The Nikon F3 was Nikon's third professional flagship SLR and the first to feature electronic shutter control and aperture-priority auto-exposure. This specific version features the DE-3 "High Eyepoint" (HP) finder, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, which allows photographers (especially those wearing glasses) to see the entire viewfinder frame from a distance of 25mm. The F3 is renowned for its extreme durability and stayed in production for over 20 years, even outlasting its successor, the F4. The red stripe on the grip became a hallmark of Nikon industrial design from this model forward.Category
