Nikon Battery Tester (Nippon Kogaku) for Nikon FShop OnlineMore... | MINT- | £450.00 |
Nippon Kogaku manufactured a small Bakelite battery tester sometimes known as a volt meter for the Nikon rangefinder S-36 motor drives. This has a measuring range of up to 11 V, whereas the battery tester for the Nikon F-36 motor drive measures up to 14 V. The battery tester can be applied to the socket of the separate battery pack in order to see if the charge is sufficient to power more rolls of film through the camera. If the needle is well over the middle of the scale, the batteries have sufficient charge. The tester first appeared in the price list of August 1960 and was offered until the late 1960s when the Cordless Battery Pack was introduced which did not provide a terminal to test the batteries. *This is the battery tester for the Nikon F |

Nikon F Reloadable Film CassetteShop OnlineMore... | EXC++ | £12.00 |
Nikon F reloadable film cassette, case, maker's box The cassette for the Nikon F, in connection with the F-36 motor drive was developed in the 1950s, apparently copied from Leitz. There are only a few features. In addition to the recess for the prong of the rewind knob, there are two short pins, two white–filled engraved index dots and the film speed reminder dial on the bottom. The broad slip of the outer shell (which has black paint or crinkle paint) is covered by the inner shell when the cassette is closed. The film speed reminder dial is set into the outer shell. The appearance of the film speed reminder dial changed during the production as a result of the increase in film sensitivity. A white-field engraved dot is the index mark for black & white films, and a red dot for colour films. The ASA scale design changed, sometimes having black and red lettering. The ‘E’ stand for empty. The film cassette for 36 exposures is supplied in a black plastic screw-lid container. This has the old Nikon lettering and the stylised Nippon Kogaku triangle logo embossed on it. The inside is lined with foam rubber to prevent rattling. |

Nikon F Photomic FTn 'Apollo' body, blackShop OnlineMore... | MINT | £5,000.00 |
NEAR NEW (99.5%) EXAMPLE. No 7372506. The name "Apollo" derives from Nikon's association with NASA during the Apollo space program when Nikon supplied both test equipment and equipment to be used on flights. The APOLLO Nikon F bodies all had serial numbers beginning with 72*** and 73*** and were the very latest and greatest of the amazing and truly iconic F generation (incorporating improvements as a result of years of professional feedback). F cosmetics changed late in production to match the then currently produced and just introduced F2. The Apollo F was updated with a plastic tipped F2 type advance lever and self timer, and stronger camera strap eyelets. Earlier Apollos had the standard F flash connection, later ones had the F2 type threaded PC connection. |

Nikon F60 35mm Film SLRShop OnlineMore... | EXC | £125.00 | ||||||||||||||
Boxed and complete. The Nikon F60 35mm film SLR camera was sold by Nikon between 1998 and 2001. It replaced the F50 and was aimed at the lower end of the amateur autofocus SLR market. The F60 features autofocus, two forms of TTL light metering and various "programs" (ranging from manual operation to a highly automated point and shoot mode). F60 body was made from polycarbonate and metal, and available in both "champagne silver" and black. It features compatibility with most older Nikkor F-mount lenses, except AFS and pre-AI lenses. However, in some cases autofocus and/or TTL metering is not supported. Features of the F60 include the 'T' Time setting - where a first press of the shutter release opens the shutter, and a second closes it, and AF servo tracking in 'Sport' mode. The camera also supports five different flash modes, including 'slow' for low light scenes. *This example is the black model.

Nikon F5 body (50th Anniversary Model)Shop OnlineMore... | MINT- | £1,795.00 | ||||||||||||||
In June 1998, a special model made in only very limited numbers (2000 for Japan and 1000 for the rest of the world) commemorating Nikon’s 50th anniversary of camera manufacture. The specially manufactured strap bears the dates 1948-1998. The F5 was Nikon's most expensive film camera (when sold side by side with the F6 prior to discontinuation the F5 at around £2500 was the more expensive body). The F5 was fitted with an RGB meter (basically 3 meters working in Red, Green and Blue ends of the spectrum) and could take standard, action, waist and magnification finders and a vast range of screens. The Nikon Corporation issued a comment on the F5 Anniversary model as follows: “50th Anniversary Model of Nikon F5. In 1998, two years after the introduction of F5, we at Nikon marked the 50th anniversary of our camera production from the first release of Nikon I in 1948. In commemoration of this, we decided to offer the 50th Anniversary Model, which was designed based on the F5 with changes in the colour of the upper body cover and body cap to a sober dark silver colour, and the rubber of the oval section of the grip to a dark grey, adding a quality appearance to the camera. On the front of the viewfinder was inscribed the same Nikon logo as adopted in first Nikon I rangefinder camera of 1948, and the back of body was marked with the former company logo of Nippon Kogaku K.K.(Japan Optical) and the symbol for 50th Anniversary of Nikon Camera. This was the only variation model of F5." |

RARE - COLLECTOR'S GRADE - POSSIBLY THE LAST BRAND NEW F3H IN THE WORLD! BOXED AND COMPLETE WITH OUTER SHIPPING CARTON, REAR SHUTTER GUARD (TO BE REMOVED PRIOR TO FIRST ROLL OF FILM INSERTION), AND INSTRUCTION MANUAL. In June 1996, Nikon released the Nikon F3H (the "H" stands for "high speed"), a single-lens reflex film camera intended for press photographers. Based on the Nikon F3 and its MD-4 motor drive, both of which Nikon had released in 1980, the F3H was capable of high-speed continuous shooting at up to 13 fps. Like the earlier F2H it uses a fixed pellicle reflex mirror that transmits 70% of the light through it to the film and reflects the remaining 30% into the viewfinder. The camera has the familiar HP (High Eyepoint) finder with accessory shoe and a type B focusing screen is supplied as standard. When the MD-4H motor drive is powered by an MN-2 NiCd battery, the camera is capable of high-speed continuous shooting at 13 fps at shutter speeds of 1/1000 second and above. When the motor drive is powered by eight AA alkaline batteries, the camera is capable of high-speed continuous shooting at 7.5 fps at shutter speeds of 1/250 second and above. [Lens not included.] |

Nikon FE2 body, blackShop OnlineMore... | EXC++ | £750.00 |
The FE2 is a battery powered electro-mechanically controlled manual focus SLR with manual exposure control or aperture priority auto exposure. It has a match-needle exposure control system using two needles pointing along a vertical shutter speed scale on the left side of the viewfinder to indicate the readings of the built-in 60/40 percent centre weighted light meter versus the actual camera settings. This system continued until 2006 with the Nikon FM3A. The major improvements in the FE2 compared to the FE are silicon photodiode light meter sensors, internal printed circuit electronics, provision for through-the-lens (TTL) off-the-film (OTF) electronic flash automation (essentially identical to the system introduced in the Nikon FG in 1982) and a quartz oscillator timed, bearing-mounted, titanium-bladed shutter reaching an ultra-fast top speed of 1/4000th second (plus world's fastest X-sync to 1/250th second). This design is an improved electronically controlled version of the mechanical shutter introduced in the Nikon FM2, with eight honeycomb-patterned blades instead of nine and shutter curtain travel time further. |

Nikon F2AS Photomic body, blackShop OnlineMore... | VG | £700.00 |
Launched in 1977 the F2AS Photomic offered the most sophisticated metered prism among all finders available for the Nikon F2. F2AS was also regarded by many Nikon fans and collectors alike as being the most collectible among all regular production Nikon SLR models as it represented the best and finest example of camera body mechanical excellence of the seventies stretching the design and precision production to the limit. In fact, when the electronic Nikon F3 was introduced officially to replace the Nikon F2, the F2AS was commanding a higher premium in its retailed price than the new third generation professional camera. The F2AS was the very last all-mechanical Nikon camera with removable Photomic finder and incorporated the new AI (Auto Indexing) system. |

It is identical to the standard FM2n, including its aluminium alloy chassis, except that the titanium is used for the top and base plates and the camera back. No other specifications were changed and the FM2/T accepts all the same accessories. There's also been a couple of special limited editions of the camera; the Year of the Dog version of which only 300 units were produced, was released in 1994 and has a picture of a dog’s head engraved on the front place next to the FM2/T badge. The Dog occupies the eleventh position in the Chinese zodiac. The 12 zodiac animals are, in order: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Each year is related to a Chinese zodiac animal according to the 12-year-cycle. Years of the Dog: …1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030… |

Nikon FM3A body, blackShop OnlineMore... | EXC+ | £1,100.00 |
Boxed. Nikon's final manual camera. Built incorporating Nikon's 50 years of manual camera manufacture and thus the ultimate all-manual reflex camera. The Nikon FM3A is an interchangeable lens, focal plane shutter, 35 mm film, single-lens reflex (SLR) camera. It was manufactured by Nikon Corporation in Japan, on small-volume assembly lines, from 2001 to 2006. The camera was available in two colours: all black, and satin chrome. The FM3A was the successor to the renowned Nikon FM2N camera of 1984 and was the last member of the successful, semi-professional line of Nikon compact 35 mm SLRs. The other members were the Nikon FM (released 1977), FE (1978), FM2 (1982) and FE2 (1983). They (and the Nikon FA) all used the superficially similar (but not identical) rugged copper aluminium alloy chassis and high-quality Nikon vertical bearing-mounted metal shutter and ball-bearing mounted film advance, but with improved feature levels, minor external controls and cosmetic differences. The major improvements in the FM3A compared to the FM2n are the hybrid electro-mechanically controlled aluminium-bladed focal plane shutter, the aperture priority auto-exposure mode, the match-needle exposure control system and provision for through-the-lens (TTL) off-the-film (OTF) electronic flash automation. In other words, the FM3A merged the robust mechanical systems of the FM2n with the proven, reliable electronic exposure controls of the FE2. The FM3A is built to a high level of workmanship and material quality. It shares the advantages of the FM and the FM2n, both generally regarded as two of the most reliable cameras ever built (both in terms of operation under extreme conditions and in day-to-day reliability reports from repair shops and magazine surveys). It has an extremely strong body of copper silumin alloy. The electronics are well protected within the body and of extremely high quality, including the flexible circuits. The FM3A's film transport consists of high-strength hardened metal gears and moving parts, mounted on clusters of ball bearings. The vertical metal shutter utilises precision tapered high-strength aluminium alloy blades and oil-less self-lubricating bearings. The guide rails are made of stainless steel. The mirror is made of titanium. It is large to reduce chances of vignetting with super-telephotos of up to 800 mm, and uses the same mechanism found on Nikon's pro F2, with some improvements designed to further reduce effects of vibration and mirror bounce. The FM3A accepts all of the Nikkor lenses with the Nikon F bayonet mount that support the Automatic Indexing (AI) feature (AI, AIS), first introduced in 1977.[2] The chrome FM3A was often sold in a kit that includes a colour coordinated chrome finished Nikkor 45mm f/2.8P lens. This special flat "pancake" lens was manually focused on the FM3A, but contained a CPU which could communicate focal distance to Nikon's later autofocus (AF) camera bodies. Other accessories for the FM3A include the Nikon MD-12 motor drive (automatic film advance up to 3.2 frames per second), as well as the Nikon MF-16 databack (sequential numbering, time or date stamping on the film), and the various compatible Nikon TTL flashes (SB-15, SB-16B, SB-20, etc.) In manual mode, the camera is completely mechanical in operation, and only requires batteries for the light metering information system. In aperture priority mode, the batteries continue to power the meter, but are also utilized for shutter timing and the exposure control electronics. The FM3A's metering information system consists of a match-needle system using two needles pointing along a vertical shutter speed scale on the left side of the viewfinder to indicate the readings of the built-in 60/40% centre-weighted silicon photo diode light meter versus the actual camera settings. This system can be traced back to the Nikkormat EL (Nikomat EL in Japan) of 1972. The viewfinder also has Nikon's fully-interchangeable bright focus screen with various options for focus. During the mid-1990s, a demand arose among some photographers for a quality manual-focus alternative to the 35mm autofocus SLR camera. These cameras required complex computer and processing mechanisms, and especially in their amateur and consumer versions, were known for neither their ruggedness nor a long service life. Nikon owners began to demand a durable, precision-made camera with the AE electronic features and prized construction of the discontinued Nikon FE2, which had begun to skyrocket in value on the second-hand market. Nikon responded to this phenomenon with a revival of their classic FM/FE series design. |

*Definition: Nikon digital SLRs have either an FX or a DX sensor. The FX sensor, measuring 24x36mm, is roughly equivalent to the size of the 35mm film frame. The DX sensor is smaller, measuring 15.8x23.6mm.
DX-NIKKOR lenses are engineered and optimized for use on Nikon DX-format D-SLRs and are designed to cover the smaller image area of the DX sensor. When a DX lens is mounted on an FX-format Nikon D-SLR, the cameras DX-Crop Mode is automatically engaged, introducing a 1.5x magnification (cropping) factor.
