Hi Larry,
I think you're not searching well. The F-1N is far more difficult to search
for than "Nikon F", and I'm not sure single characters (especially without
the quotes as I've shows) works very well, and will give you a lot of
erroneous hits. I just searched for "Nikon F", and it returned 185 which
included the F-100 as well as many others not part of the list...and most of
them not cameras, but but books, camera straps etc. So, unless you filter
the list manually, I don't think you're going to get good data.
If you are including the F, F-2 etc., you also have to include the Canon F-1
& F-1n. It's only fair to compare like years. The Canon web site has the
production statistics of the camera somewhere, but I couldn't readily find
it. No idea about Nikon.
Regards,
Austin
