Built around Nikon’s first professional 35mm SLR system, the F established the basic formula that would carry through generations of Nikon pro cameras: rugged construction, interchangeable finders, a huge lens ecosystem, and the ability to take an absolute beating while continuing to make photographs.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis example pairs a \u003cstrong\u003eblack Nikon F body\u003c\/strong\u003e with a Photomic metered prism and fast \u003cstrong\u003e50mm f\/1.4 Nikkor\u003c\/strong\u003e. The 50mm f\/1.4 is a classic everyday lens for the system, with plenty of speed for available-light work and the sort of vintage Nikkor rendering that works beautifully for street photography, portraits, and general shooting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe Photomic finder gives the camera that unmistakable chunky professional Nikon silhouette. On this particular kit, however, the meter is no longer operational. The good news is that the Nikon F itself is fundamentally a mechanical camera, so the dead prism meter does not prevent normal shooting. Pair it with a handheld meter, phone meter, or good old Sunny 16 and keep on trucking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: ONE-OFF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe camera body is functioning well and the shutter fires properly.

These optical imperfections may reduce contrast and increase flare, particularly when shooting toward strong light sources. The lens remains functional, but its condition and the non-working prism meter are why we're selling this particular kit as a One-Off rather than one of our standard Excellent or Good Nikon F kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eCosmetically, the camera shows normal signs of use appropriate for a working vintage Nikon F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Nikon F 35mm SLR body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotomic metered prism finder, meter non-functional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNikkor 50mm f\/1.4 lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eWe usually ship within two business days of receiving payment.
