To become a member, click here.
Dues:
Worldwide: $25 USD for 1 YR or $40 USD for 2 YRS
Payment via PayPal.
What is included with your membership to the NHS?
Your membership in the Nikon Historical Society includes the NIKON Journal published here on RFF. It is the most important source of information for the serious Nikon collector. Articles are also contributed here by NHS members. Topics include descriptions and photos of the cameras, interviews with the designers, and news about collecting. There will be a classified ad section, and letters to the editor.
The NIKON Journal is all digital now, but the content is still exclusive! There is simply no other reference like it in the world! Our editor covers every detail of the Nikon system, using articles submitted by NHS members.
Sample page from the Journal
Content:
While the focus of the NIKON JOURNAL is on collecting classic Nikon rangefinder and early "F" cameras, there are articles on camera repair, and experiences by users. More and more "collectors" are using their Nikon rangefinders as they return to film.
Of particular interest are interviews with the designers of these early cameras, many of whom are still quite involved in the collecting or photo societies in Japan. The Society has a long relationship with the Nikon factory in Japan.
The Journal maintains indispensable data, such as lists of all known black paint Nikons. Without this kind of information you cannot safely buy on eBay, or other auction sites.
Back issues of the NHS Journal:
PDFs the original issues are available here to paid members. Printed copies of some issues are still available. Please contact rotoloni@msn.com for availability.
We look forward to hearing from you, and meeting at the next convention!
