Nikon F3 Limited

The Nikon F3 Limited is a variant of Nikon's professional 35mm single-lens reflex F3 system, produced in restricted numbers for the Japanese market. It uses the F-mount lens system and was positioned as a collector-oriented release rather than a general production model.

UK saleroom data for the F3 Limited is thin, with two recorded hammer prices of £1,100 (2005) and £1,300 (2010), giving a midpoint near £1,200. Because these are auction-hammer results rather than dealer retail, today's collectors should treat the figures as a wholesale-level guide; what an F3 Limited is worth in 2026 depends heavily on cosmetic condition, completeness of original packaging, and shutter accuracy.
