The Nicca 3-F (lever wind) is a Japanese 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Nicca Camera Works, built in the Leica screw-mount tradition that defined much of postwar Japanese rangefinder design. The lever-wind variant updated the earlier knob-wind 3-F by replacing the top-plate winding knob with a rapid-advance lever, a feature buyers often look for when assessing what a 3-F is worth on the used market.

Sales data for the 3-F (lever wind) is extremely thin: a single Christie's UK auction hammer result of £329 from 2002 is the only verified record we hold, so a meaningful current-day price band cannot be drawn from this evidence alone. As of 2026, that wholesale, saleroom-level figure should be treated as a historic data point rather than a guide to what the camera sells for today, and any current valuation needs corroboration from fresh comparable sales before relying on it.
