This Poster Celebrates the History of Nikon F Cameras

Nikon introduced the Nikon F SLR back in April of 1959, so this year is the 60th anniversary of the popular camera system. To celebrate, the Nikon Museum in Tokyo created a poster with a timeline of F-mount bodies. The poster features 169 different camera models and costs ¥1,200 (~$11). It’s a limited edition product so it’ll be gone once it sells out. Unfortunately for photographers who don’t live in the Tokyo area, there may not currently be a simple way to order this poster and have it delivered, so your best bet may be to try and snag one later on from a reseller.

After getting touched up by Haqq, Kardashian posed for her official portrait while Hosto held up a giant ring light in front of her for the DMV camera to shoot through. Kardashian was pleased with the way her photo turned out. Getting a driver’s license photo shot at the DMV is often a painful experience involving long waits and an ugly photo, but apparently you can overcome at least one of those issues if you’re a celebrity with a TV show named after you.
