Up for bids is this classic early Nikon F camera body including a Photomic Finder, and the uncommon EP engraving to denote it was originally a Military exchange purchase in Japan.
Introduced in 1959, the Nikon F camera introduced the concept of the 35 mm single-lens reflex camera (SLR) system; that is to say, it introduced a lineup of interchangeable parts connected to the camera body, thus revolutionizing phot...ography as we knew it. The Nikon F reigned supreme as the professional system for the next 2 decades and set the standard by which all others would strive to attain.
The photomic finder was the second Nikon F model with an onboard light meter replacing the flag finderCosmetics:
As you can see from the photos, the camera body is in very good condition for its age. There are typical areas of wear as shown in the photos which capture all sides. Both shutter curtains are light tight with light wear. As cosmetic condition is subjective, I have photographed all sides for you to draw your own assessment.The shutter fires at all speeds and sounds progressive. I don't have a shutter tester to determine accuracy. Self timer works fine. The needle of the meter reacts to light with a fresh battery, however I have no idea how accurate it is.Typical to any vintage camera, a CLA (Clean, lube adjustment) and new seals would be recommended if the goal is to put it back into service.This sale includes:1 - F camera serial #6548689
