Nikon F

The Nikon F is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera introduced in 1959 as Nikon's first SLR system. It was positioned as a professional tool built around the then-new Nikon F bayonet lens mount, with interchangeable finders and focusing screens supporting studio, reportage and scientific use.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Nikon F body have spanned roughly £90–£380, with a median around £170–£180. Results are strongly condition-sensitive: tatty user bodies with worn plating and sluggish shutters sit near the bottom of that range, while clean examples with the plain prism or a working photomic finder, original leatherette and smooth film transport pull towards the upper end.
