Description from the seller

Nikon FA Black – Tested & Working – Excellent Cosmetic Condition

For sale is my Nikon FA in the desirable black finish, a classic Japanese 35mm film SLR introduced in 1983.

The camera is in excellent cosmetic condition considering its age. The black finish, leatherette covering, controls and lettering are beautifully preserved, with only minor signs of normal use.

I have personally used this camera for film photography, and it has recently been tested again with batteries installed.

Condition and functionality:

The camera is operational and has been tested without film. The shutter fires and the camera's electronic functions are working during basic testing.

Please note that no film was used during the latest test, so film transport under load, exposure accuracy and light-tightness have not been independently verified.

Key features:
- Nikon FA in black finish
- 35mm film SLR, made in Japan
- Nikon F lens mount
- Manual, aperture-priority, shutter-priority and program exposure modes
- Nikon's pioneering multi-pattern (matrix) metering system
- Electronically controlled titanium shutter with speeds up to 1/4000s
- Mechanical backup shutter speed of 1/250s
- Classic manual-focus Nikon construction

Included:

Nikon FA black camera body with Nikon body cap, as shown in the photographs. No lens is included.

A beautifully preserved example of one of Nikon's most innovative classic film cameras, ideal for collectors and analogue photography enthusiasts.
