Nikon F (eyelevel, chrome, F-36)

The Nikon F is a 35mm SLR introduced in 1959, Nikon's first SLR system camera and the model that established the F-series professional line. This listing covers the eyelevel chrome body fitted with the F-36 motor drive, a configuration aimed at press and sports photographers when new.

Sales data for this specific eyelevel chrome with F-36 configuration is thin, with a single UK auction hammer result of £204 recorded in 2017 — a wholesale saleroom level rather than a retail price. On that basis a reasonable price guide today sits in the low-to-mid hundreds, though motor-drive completeness and cosmetic condition swing what one actually sells for at auction. Buyers searching for what a Nikon F with F-36 is worth should weigh the small sample size carefully.
