Nikon F3 T
The Nikon F3/T is the titanium-bodied variant of Nikon's F3 professional 35mm SLR. It was offered alongside the standard F3 for photographers wanting a more durable top and bottom plate, retaining the same electronic shutter and interchangeable finder system as the rest of the F3 line.
Sales data for the F3/T is thin, so any guide to what one is worth today should be read with caution. The single recorded UK auction hammer result we have is £562 from April 2025, which suggests clean titanium bodies sell for noticeably more than standard F3 bodies at saleroom level in 2026, though a wider price range cannot be reliably stated from one data point.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Nikon F3/T worth today?
Based on the limited UK auction data we hold, a Nikon F3/T sells for around £560 at hammer, though confidence in that figure is low until further sales are recorded.
How much does a Nikon F3/T sell for compared to a standard F3?
The titanium F3/T typically commands a premium over the standard F3 body because of its titanium covers and lower production numbers, but a precise price gap cannot be quoted from a single sale.
Is the Nikon F3/T a good value buy?
For collectors who want the titanium variant specifically it can be worth the premium, but buyers chasing the F3 shooting experience alone will find better value in a standard F3 body.
