Nikon Nikkormat FT3 (same as Nikomat FT3)

The Nikkormat FT3 is a 35mm film SLR introduced by Nikon in the late 1970s, sold under the Nikomat name in the Japanese domestic market. It sat below the professional F-series as a mid-tier mechanical body using the Nikon F bayonet mount with AI-coupled metering.

With only a single recorded UK auction hammer result, pricing visibility is limited: a February 2026 sale fetched £138, which is the only data point available for what an FT3 is worth at saleroom level today. Buyers should treat this as indicative rather than a firm market value, and condition, finder cleanliness and meter function will swing the price an FT3 sells for considerably above or below this figure.
