What it is

{"overview":"The Nikkormat FT is a 35mm SLR introduced by Nikon in 1965 as a more affordable alternative to the professional Nikon F, sold under the Nikomat name in the Japanese market. As of 2026, today's market value is firmly condition-led: a working body with a responsive meter and clean foam seals sells for more than a cosmetically tidy but non-metering example. Check the shutter at all speeds (especially slow speeds where old lubricants drag), the foam light seals around the back door, and the metering prong linkage on the lens-mount ring.

Questions

Is the Nikkormat FT a good value buy?

For a mechanical Nikon-mount SLR with TTL metering, the price is modest; the main caveat is that meter and shutter servicing can cost more than the camera itself.

Does the Nikkormat FT take modern Nikon lenses?

It uses the Nikon F mount with the pre-AI metering prong, so non-AI and AI lenses with the prong mount and meter directly, while later AF and G lenses are not designed for this coupling.
