Last night, my wife watched Diamonds Are Forever, which in my considered opinion is the weakest of all the Bond movies staring Sean Connery. By my estimation, it had been at least ten years since we’ve seen it. I suppose there’s a reason it’s been a while.
About sixteen minutes into the movie, when the action switches to Amsterdam, I saw something I hadn’t recalled seeing in spite of the tens of times I’ve seen it: a Nikon F.

Gasp! “Honey, it’s a Nikon F!” I said excitedly.
My wife rolled her eyes.
