Nikon F KS-80A (U.S.Navy)

The Nikon F KS-80A is a military-contract variant of the Nikon F 35mm single-lens reflex camera, produced for the United States Navy. Externally marked with its U.S. military designation, it is a specialist collector's item rather than a general-market consumer model, and examples surface only occasionally.

Hammer prices at UK auction for the F KS-80A have ranged from around £900 to £2,800, with a median of roughly £1,300 across the recorded wholesale salesroom results. The strongest figures were achieved around 2010–2011, when a clean example sold for £2,800; more recent results in the £900–£1,000 band suggest the market has softened somewhat heading into today, though the small sample size means any single well-documented example can still sell for a premium.
