Cameras are not only beautiful on the outside, they are amazing on the inside. If you want to know what makes an old Nikon SLR camera tick, then you will have to check out these schematics, which have surfaced on the web, courtesy of a Tumblr user.

Clare aka Wyoh found these schematics in an old French magazine. As you can see, the words are written in french, but does it even matter? The exploding views of the cameras are everything we need to put everything piece by piece.

There are only four schematics for four different cameras. The list includes the Nikon F, F2, FM, and FA. All of them have been manufactured by Nikon and released dozens of years ago, when film shooters ruled the Earth.

The Nikon F has been released in 1959, the F2 in 1971, the FM in 1977, and the FA in 1983. These sketches can be looked at as retro tear apart treatments and the iFixit team would definitely appreciate the teardown works in the french magazine.
