AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

NIKON F フォトミックFTN (No.96-10), tested and working.

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

The Nikon F, launched in 1959, was Nippon Kogaku's first 35mm SLR and the camera that established Nikon as the dominant force in professional photography. This example carries the Photomic FTN finder (introduced 1968), which added through-the-lens centre-weighted metering with a semi-automatic maximum-aperture indexing system. Built almost entirely of metal, the F is celebrated for its ruggedness, mechanical precision and its vast, forward-compatible F-mount system, and remains one of the most historically important cameras ever produced.
