What it is
{"overview":"The Nikkormat FT3 is a 35mm mechanical SLR introduced by Nikon in 1977 as the final model in the Nikkormat line. Because these are wholesale-level hammer figures rather than dealer retail, a clean, fully-working body in 2026 is typically worth noticeably less than a tidied-up example sells for in a shop today. Confirm all shutter speeds fire crisply from 1s to 1\/1000s, check the foam light seals around the back, and verify the AI coupling ring on the lens mount moves freely.

Questions
Why is the FT3 valued differently from other Nikkormats?
The FT3 is the only Nikkormat with AI lens coupling, which makes it more useful alongside later AI and AI-S Nikkor lenses and supports its price relative to earlier FT and FTn bodies.
