Here we have a truly legendary vintage camera, the Nikon F with a fantastic Nikon Nikkor lens, the 50mm F/1.4 S.

It is in great condition, is fully functional, and comes with new batteries installed in the Photomic metered-prism finder.

If you're looking for one of the most incredible, mechanical SLRs of all time, this is it. Nikon's first (and some say best) SLR is a camera with class, substance, and style. A beautiful all-mechanical machine that is built to last, and can do anything most any photographer will ever ask of it.

A review of this camera can be seen here.

This particular F comes with the Photomic viewfinder (a light-metered prism). This finder is removable and can be replaced with a different prism if desired by the end user, such as the eye level finder or waist level finder. The prism meters as it should and the light meter is accurate, however the meter needle within the viewfinder is hard to see, and the user will need to use the second meter needle positioned on the top of the prism. It is being sold at a discount due to this imperfection.

The viewfinder is clean and clear, the Photomic finder is in great condition, film compartment is clean, shutter and mirror are in wonderful condition - just a fantastic all around machine.

The included Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 (Non AI) standard fast prime lens is renowned for its incredible sharpness when stopped down, and amazing bokeh shot wide-open. It is one of Nikon's best standard lenses, and it's a perfect lens for portraits, low-light shooting, subject isolation, product photography, landscape shots, architectural shooting, street photography, and more. The aperture blades are oil-free and snappy, glass is perfect and free of fungus or markings, mount is in perfect condition, focusing ring turns a bit stiffer than it should (another reason we are selling this camera at a discount), aperture ring clicks nicely into its detents.

This is a legend in the photography world, the first SLR ever produced by Nikon. Many people consider it the best SLR ever made. It was the one-and-only professional-grade camera of the day, and even orbited the Earth in the lunar module.

This is just one of those timeless, wonderful machines that will provide a lifetime of photographic enjoyment for decades to come.

It will be carefully packaged and shipped immediately.
