Nikon Nikkor F Photomic FTn
The Nikon F Photomic FTn is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera fitted with the FTn metering prism finder, which added through-the-lens centre-weighted metering to the Nikon F system. It was a professional-grade body sold from the late 1960s into the 1970s and uses the Nikon F bayonet mount.
UK auction data for this configuration is thin: a single hammer result of £950 is on record, achieved at saleroom level in 2013 — a wholesale figure rather than a dealer asking price. With only one verified sale, today's market value cannot be pinned down precisely from our dataset, and what a Nikon F Photomic FTn is worth in 2026 will depend heavily on cosmetic condition, finder accuracy, and whether the body is sold with a period Nikkor lens.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Nikon F Photomic FTn worth at UK auction?
Verified hammer data is limited to one recorded sale at £950, so the price a given example sells for today depends strongly on condition and whether the meter is functional.
How much does a Nikon F Photomic FTn sell for compared with a plain-prism Nikon F?
FTn-finder bodies typically carry a value premium over plain-prism Nikon F examples because the metering head is harder to source separately, but our dataset is too small to quote a precise differential.
Is the Photomic FTn meter still usable today?
Many FTn finders still meter, but they were designed for mercury PX625 cells; buyers should confirm the meter has been calibrated for a modern 1.5V replacement or is being used with an adapter.
