Nikon F4 body in very good physical condition and tested and functioning.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Up for auction is a Nikon F4 body, the legendary flagship that marked the definitive transition to professional autofocus in the Nikon system. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, this camera is a masterpiece of ergonomics and robustness, offering a perfect bridge between the manual and automatic worlds: it is, in fact, the only Nikon professional SLR capable of fully supporting both older manual lenses (including matrix metering with AI lenses) and modern autofocus lenses, guaranteeing unparalleled versatility.

The example offered is in very good overall condition, as confirmed by the technical data sheet included in the images. The camera body, free of significant scratches, maintains its solid professional aesthetic. Mechanically, it has been tested in all its main functions: the carbon fiber and Kevlar shutter fires accurately at all speeds, from slow shutter speeds up to 1/8000 of a second, and the motorized film drive is smooth and powerful. The pentaprism is clean and offers a clear view, free of defects that could disturb the framing.

All dials and controls, including those for shooting modes and the matrix exposure meter, respond correctly. The lens mount is in very good condition, ready to accept the wide range of Nikkor lenses. An indestructible body, intended for those seeking a professional tool for intensive use or for those who want to complete their Nikon collection with a piece of photographic technology history.
