Nikon F (Apollo, last 5000)

The Nikon F (Apollo, last 5000) is a 35mm film SLR, the final production batch of the original Nikon F system camera that was introduced in 1959. The Apollo designation refers to late-production bodies built with revised top-plate and advance-lever castings, and the "last 5000" subset is the closing run of that variant before the F was replaced by the F2 in 1971.

With only a single UK auction record to draw on, pricing for the Apollo last-5000 F is hard to pin down: a body sold at hammer for £180 at a UK saleroom in October 2025, which gives a working reference for what a representative example is worth today rather than a true market range. Because these are auction-hammer (wholesale) results, retail dealer asking prices for clean, collector-grade bodies are typically higher, and condition, finder type fitted, and provenance documentation all move the price meaningfully.
