The Nikon F3 was was the third in the Nikon F series, preceded by the F and F2. Released in 1980, it had manual and semi-automatic exposure control whereby the camera would select the correct shutter speed (aperture priority automation). The Nikon F3 series cameras had the most model variations of any Nikon F camera. It was also the first of numerous Nikon F-series cameras to be styled by Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, and to include a red stripe on the handgrip a feature that would later become (with variants of stripes and various other shapes) a signature feature of many Nikon cameras. Print Collection commissioned watercolor artist Dana Saylor to create this one of ten paintings for our classic camera series. The series of images are all in a square format.
