Nikon was hard at work developing their first professional DSLR, the D1. In 1998, digital photography was the future and film as the dominant image capture media was clearly entering its twilight. Until then, I thought it’d be useful and fun to talk about what makes this camera so special. A full review will be hitting the site soon. Now it’s here, and the Nikon SP Limited Edition is easily the most interesting and exciting camera I’ve ever owned. I chose the Nikon SP 2005 after a days-long chat with the rest of the CP writing team. The camera I was searching for had to be entirely mechanical, highly capable and compact, but also rare and intrinsically valuable. In my case this machine would presumably go to an interested child or (if I live long enough) grandchild. As of last week, I’m lucky enough to own one.Ībout two months ago I started looking for a camera that I could keep and use forever, what I call an heirloom camera. Similar to a wristwatch, I define heirloom cameras as treasured objects that can be owned, used, and finally passed on to another person when our time is up. It’s also rare, limited to just 2,500 production units, and it’s paired to a world-class image-maker in the form of the exceptional W. It’s the most capable rangefinder that Nikon ever built, handcrafted with modern materials and manufacturing processes. All things considered, it may be the brand’s best film camera. The Nikon SP Limited Edition from the year 2005 is a really special camera.
