When serial numbers reached 6099999, the engraver did not switch to 610 — he continued with 60910000, adding an eighth digit. After roughly 1,200 cameras, the factory returned to 6100000. These \"8-digit\" bodies are a recognised collector variant. The Nikon S (1951) was also the first Nikon exported to the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT MAKES THIS ONE DIFFERENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs often seen on \u003cstrong\u003e8-digit bodies\u003c\/strong\u003e, the fitted back is a \u003cstrong\u003e7-digit replacement\u003c\/strong\u003e.
