AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Nikon BC-V flash (fold-out, fan-shaped flash) from 1959 in very good condition, offered with its leather case and its original box. Note that the box, the leather case, and the flash itself bear the Nippon Kogaku inscription.

The flash was, at the time, designed for optimal compatibility with rangefinder cameras S3, SP, S4 and S3m; however, with the help of a small accessory, compatibility was complete with Nikon F, F2 and even the famous F3 SLR bodies.

The BC-V model had this advantage over its predecessor the BC-IV in that it could be oriented vertically by 90°.

The offered model is in very good condition. Indeed, you’ll need to source a battery and its capacitor as well as bulbs if you want to use it today… you can find this kind of accessory on specialized websites: dealers, auction sites, etc…
It will also have a prominent place in a Nikon collection.
