The oversized black graphic is intentionally simple—a reference to Nikon’s long-running professional SLR that another film photographer can recognize without needing an illustration of the camera itself.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in March 1980, the Nikon F3 succeeded the F2 as Nikon’s flagship professional 35mm SLR. It introduced an electronically controlled shutter and aperture-priority automatic exposure to Nikon’s professional F-series while retaining full manual exposure control. Its TTL center-weighted metering system read light through the lens, interchangeable finders preserved the modular approach of earlier Nikon professional bodies, and a mechanical 1\/60-second backup shutter setting remained available when battery power was lost. Nikon also commissioned Italian industrial designer \u003cstrong\u003eGiorgetto Giugiaro\u003c\/strong\u003e to shape the F3’s exterior, including the distinctive grip and red accent that influenced later Nikon camera design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is available in two P423 Weekender colorways: \u003cstrong\u003eGraphite with Black Mesh Back\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eTan with White Mesh Back\u003c\/strong\u003e.
