Happy 50th Birthday, Nikon F Mount

Nikon's F lens mount turns 50 years old this year. It brought SLR cameras
into the mainstream, and all Nikon's DSLRs still use it, meaning you can
(usually) use lenses that are 50 years old.

Its longevity is nifty, as its 50-year history means you can take advantage
of lenses crafted long before your DSLR. But as BoingBoing Gadgets reader
Mat Halprin points out, Nikon yet to do anything wicked like release an
anniversary DSLR that looks like the old school F-series camera pictured
above, but stuffed with a D700 sensor, or something else that would tap
that history while making us drool at the same time. We demand sexy
history, dammit.

In the meantime, how do you think Nikon should celebrate?
