Nikon F2A 25 Anniversary
The Nikon F2A 25 Anniversary is a commemorative edition of Nikon's professional 35mm film SLR. The F2A designation refers to the DP-11 metering prism, which uses AI (Automatic Indexing) coupling with compatible Nikkor lenses. The base F2 platform was introduced in 1971 and positioned as Nikon's flagship professional body.
Tracked hammer results at UK auction are limited, with two recorded sales landing at £573 and £700, giving a recorded range of roughly £570–£700 and a midpoint near £640. As of 2026 this small sample means the true market value is hard to pin down, and what a clean example sells for today depends heavily on cosmetic condition and the presence of original commemorative markings and packaging. These figures are wholesale saleroom prices rather than retail, so dealer asking prices for comparable examples typically sit higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Nikon F2A 25 Anniversary worth today?
Recorded UK auction hammer prices sit in the £570–£700 region based on a small number of tracked sales, with value strongly tied to cosmetic condition and completeness.
How much does a Nikon F2A 25 Anniversary sell for at UK auction?
The two tracked results are £573 and £700 at the hammer, placing the midpoint near £640, though the sample is too small to treat as a firm market price.
What drives the price premium over a standard F2A?
Scarcity and the commemorative engravings mean clean, complete examples with original packaging command a premium over a standard F2A body, while heavily worn examples lose that premium quickly.
