This one have I done in Photoshop
NIKON F / Short history:
In late 1959, Nippon Kogaku introduced a camera that changed the photographic world, as well as the company that developed it. That camera is the Nikon F.
The Nikon F brought together all the best elements of 35 SLRs for the first time. Far ahead of its contemporaries, literally nothing could compare to it. Photographers switched to it in droves.
The Nikon F led the change from 35mm rangefinder to SLR. It also sped the demise of the twin lens reflex. It made Nikon the leader in the professional market by such a margin that it was difficult to find who was second. And the Nikon F helped the Japanese camera industry as a whole, giving it the respect it deserved, allowing it to bury the German industry. By the time the F was discontinued in 1974 (862,600 F's were made), Leica had become reduced to a market niche, Rollei was fast on it's way to bankruptcy, and Zeiss Ikon had discontinued camera production.
I bought mine Nikon F in the beginning of the 60ties with those two f/2.8 lenses 35mm and 105mm. And they was my fellow-travellers under many many years
