Nikon even has - or at least had, until recently - two film cameras in their line-up.

The ‘because we can’ high-end F6 and the entry-level, manual just about everything FM10. (Though I think the current FM10 may be made by others under licence.)

I think Voigtländer may still make a 35mm rangefinder, too.

Cosina was the company licensed to make the Nikon FM10 and produced rangefinders under the Voigtländer name. All of those products were discontinued last year, sadly.

As far as I know, the F6 is the last one still in production.

That’s not unexpected, but still a bit sad.

Incidentally, Cosina also made the rangefinder I’d dub the Leica M7.5 - the Zeiss Ikon-branded ZM. Wonderful camera.

As far as rangefinders go, the ZM IMHO is the one to beat, in close competition with the Contax G2. (Autofocus! In a rangefinder!)
