Aussies can be funny.....;).

Well, having a more serious look at the Nikon F6:
For Matt Granger the F6 is new, he has little experience with it so he has overlooked most of its significant advantages.

I am using the F6 for many years very intensively. As I did with the F4, F100 and F5 (have all three up to today and somestimes using them, too). In my experience the F6 is by far the best professional 35mm SLR ever built. With lots of significant advantages over the F4 and F5. I can highly recommend the F6.

For all those interested in the F6 you should also have a look at these sources / reviews:

4. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/352116-GREY/Nikon_1799_F6_35mm_SLR_Autofocus.html

A side note:
So far Matt Granger hasn't had any film gear reviews in his channel. But due to his announcement there possibly will be more in the future. In the last 12 months several very popular digital gear youtubers have recently added film photography topics to their channels.
I think it is a further indication that even the "digital die-hards" see an increasing interest in film.
 
Never heard of Matt Granger and can't be bothered to watch silliness. Currently travelling with one of my two F6's and contemplating selling off more of my shameful collection of other cameras. One of the least recognised advantages of the F6 is that no one wants to stop and chat about your 'lovely old camera' whereas every time I wander out with an M2, Rolleiflex or, god help me, a large format beast I can get nothing done as I don't like to be rude to friendly strangers. They pay no attention to what looks like any other oversized Nikon!

Aint dat da truth! When I use my F6 peeps think it's a DSLR.
Good because no-one talks to me, apart from maybe some other camera super nerd.... ;)
Bad because I find that using old looking film cameras tends to disarm people and make them easier to approach and they often enjoy the fact that i am using film.
