Description from the seller
In this listing, a classic and appreciated 35mm analog SLR camera Nikon FG, produced in Japan from 1982 to 1984. This compact and lightweight model was the brand's first to introduce automatic programmed exposure mode (Program) alongside Manual and Aperture Priority modes. It is equipped with the standard Nikon Lens Series E 50mm f/1.8.
The lot is in generally good condition, with light signs of use, and has been tested and is functional, complete with its original soft leather-style protective case and the front lens cap.
Optics: The Nikon Series E 50mm f/1.8 lens presents overall clean elements. A light, physiological dust inside the glass is noted, consistent with age, which does not compromise visual quality. No scratches, fungus, or haze; the diaphragm is responsive and the mechanics are smooth.
Mechanical: Tested and fully functional. The built-in light meter responds correctly to light, the shutter fires regularly across all electronic speeds (including the automatic P and A programs), and the manual advance, rewind, and self-timer mechanisms are operational.
Aesthetics: Good overall condition, as clearly shown in the photographs. The camera body shows normal signs of use on the finish and on the vintage silver top cap. The included original Nikon soft case shows widespread signs of wear, superficial cracking, and aging of the material, but retains its protective function.
International tracked shipping, fully insured, and professional super-protective packaging to ensure maximum safety during transport.
