Nikon F4 (with MB-20 + DP-20) Analogue camera

Nikon F4 — Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro

Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.

The Nikon F4 is the fourth generation of Nikon's legendary professional F-series 35mm SLR, introduced in September 1988 as the successor to the Nikon F3. It was the world's first professional autofocus SLR with a built-in motor drive, and was designed by the Italian industrial designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, who also styled the F3. The F4 has become one of the most iconic professional cameras of the late 1980s — the last Nikon professional SLR to retain dedicated mechanical knobs and dials for shutter speed, ISO, metering pattern and exposure compensation, bridging the classical and the modern eras of photography.

Key features include a magnesium-alloy chassis with weather sealing, TTL phase-detection autofocus, 5-segment matrix metering plus center-weighted and spot patterns, an electronically controlled vertical-travel focal-plane shutter from 30 s to 1/8000 s plus Bulb, and a built-in motor drive for film advance and rewind. The F4 is renowned for its lens compatibility: it accepts virtually every Nikon F-mount lens made from 1959 onward, including manual-focus AI/AI-S lenses (with full metering), AF and AF-D lenses (with full autofocus), and even Non-AI lenses via its retractable AI coupling tab — an exceptional feature not found on most later Nikon bodies.

This particular body is the base "F4" configuration, equipped with the standard MB-20 battery grip (4×AA) and the DP-20 standard multi-meter finder.
