(I realize 20 seconds early isn't that bad, but still, leaving early by any amount of time is a lot worse than leaving late)
It's not a 40 minute thing, this isn't Caltrain, but it's still annoying.
Unless you have a tight next connection, in which case leaving late often means arriving late too, and thus missing that one.
This likely only happened as quickly as it did because it's a Hazardous substance issue and not an overall quality issue.
16 years is "quick?"
They were late, but they did the right thing, eventually.
It looks nice but the reasons for its existence isn’t nice.

(I’d love to see the sales numbers for the F6. I can’t even guess the order of magnitude of global sales per year. 1? 10? 100?)
There’s so many used and seemingly indestructible film cameras floating around. I guess there’s some market for a factory-warranty film SLR, but I’m not sure what said market is. If I was going to shoot film, I’d find a Nikon F5, which would also double as a medieval flail for self-defense.
(Or I’d pull my 1983 Pentax off the shelf.)

"Taking a look at the serial number of my camera which is 35955 and comparing it to an F6 sold new in 2015 bearing the number 34875 I’d conclude that least 1080 units have been sold since then (approximately 270 cameras per year)."
"In fact, only 152 units are impacted… so few that Nikon actually lists every affected serial number in the recall notice:
0035842, ..., 0035955, ..."
Maybe 100 on the low end.
edit: from a sister comment the number is approximately 270 per year globally.
I'm not sure this is something the company could ignore without potential consequences.
It might simply be a supplier found thing happened, they notified the other companies and so on.
