Nikon Nikkormat FT (same as Nikomat FT)
The Nikkormat FT (sold in Japan as the Nikomat FT) is a 35mm SLR introduced by Nikon in 1965 as a more affordable alternative to the professional Nikon F. It uses the Nikon F bayonet mount and features a cloth focal-plane shutter and through-the-lens metering.
Sales history for this model is extremely thin: the only verified UK auction hammer result on file is a £1,175 sale from 2001, which appears to be an outlier rather than a representative price for a standard FT body. With so few data points, today's worth at saleroom level cannot be reliably stated, and a single historical sale should not be read as a current market value.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Nikkormat FT worth today?
There is insufficient verified UK auction data to give a reliable current value; the only sale on record is a £1,175 hammer result from 2001, which is not representative of typical prices.
Is the Nikomat FT the same as the Nikkormat FT?
Yes — Nikomat was the name used in the Japanese domestic market, while Nikkormat was used for export; the cameras are otherwise the same model.
How much does a Nikkormat FT sell for at auction?
Current hammer prices cannot be confirmed from the available data, as only one verified sale is on file.
