The Nikon F is a 35mm film SLR system camera, introduced in 1959 as Nikon's first SLR. This particular configuration is an early black-finish body with a 64* serial number prefix, fitted with the plain eyelevel (non-metered) prism finder.

Evidence for what an early black eyelevel Nikon F is worth at UK saleroom level is thin: a single recorded auction-hammer result of £700 from 2010 is the only data point available, so today's market price cannot be reliably triangulated from this dataset alone. Early black bodies with low serial prefixes typically sell for more than chrome examples when condition and originality are documented, so any current valuation should be treated as indicative rather than precise.
