Nikon Nikkormat FS

The Nikkormat FS is a 35mm SLR introduced by Nippon Kogaku in the mid-1960s as a more affordable companion to the Nikon F system. It uses the Nikon F bayonet mount and was positioned as a mechanical, manual-exposure body without the built-in metering offered on the contemporaneous Nikkormat FT.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the Nikkormat FS have been modest: recorded sales fall in the £50–£88 range, giving a midpoint of around £69 in today's market. With only a small number of saleroom results to draw on, the figures should be read as indicative wholesale levels rather than what a clean, fully-serviced example would sell for at retail.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Nikkormat FS worth today?

Recent UK auction hammer results for the Nikkormat FS sit between roughly £50 and £88, so a working body typically sells for under £100 at saleroom level.

How much does a Nikkormat FS sell for compared to the metered FT?

The unmetered FS generally trades at a lower price than the metered Nikkormat FT, reflecting its more basic specification and smaller buyer pool.

Is the Nikkormat FS a good value buy?

For a buyer who already owns a handheld meter, the FS offers a fully mechanical Nikon-mount body at a low entry price, though condition and shutter accuracy strongly affect what any individual example is worth.
