Nikon F3 special Analogue camera

This is a Nikon F3-series camera in a special edition, equipped with an exceptionally rare motorized back — perhaps unique. The motor block bears the marking “Pat. Appl. Model NA Beths Leerdam Holland” and features a status light at its base to indicate lock and unlock operations. This special back appears to have been custom-made by Nikon for a specific photographer or project; the camera’s internal film compartment also shows custom modifications, notably four locating holes. The camera has been fully tested: the metering cell functions correctly, the shutter curtain is perfectly flat and operational, and all shutter speeds are accurate. Focusing is smooth and all functions operate without the slightest fault. The camera is in excellent cosmetic condition and is accompanied by a well-maintained and fully functional zoom lens.
