Nikon Nikkormat FTN 35mm SLR + 43-86mm f/3.5 Zoom Lens tested!

The Nikkormat FTN is a rugged, mechanical 35mm SLR built by Nikon in the 1960s and ’70s as a more affordable but still pro-grade option to the Nikon F. It offers full manual control, classic Nikon F-mount lens compatibility, and a satisfyingly mechanical shooting experience. This kit includes the fast Nikkor-S Auto 50mm f/1.4 prime lens and a Tokina 70–210mm zoom, giving you a versatile setup for everything from portraits to telephoto work.

Condition: One-Off
This is a functioning kit with caveats, sold as a one-off due to multiple notable issues. The camera body’s light meter is non-functional, though shutter speeds are firing across the range and the mechanical operation feels solid. The 50mm f/1.4 lens shows heavy cleaning marks and surface scratches on the front element, with some internal fog that may affect contrast and flare performance. The Tokina 70–210mm zoom is in better shape optically and mechanically but is untested.

Cosmetically, everything shows average wear consistent with age and regular use. This could be a good setup for someone looking for a budget-friendly way into Nikon F-mount film shooting—just be aware of the optical and metering limitations.
