The Nikkormat FT3 is a 35mm mechanical SLR introduced by Nikon in 1977 as the final model in the Nikkormat line. It was positioned as a robust, mid-tier body sitting below the professional F2, and it was the only Nikkormat compatible with Nikon's then-new AI (Automatic Indexing) lens coupling.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Nikkormat FT3 have clustered in the £60–£110 range, with a median around £88 based on 2023–2025 saleroom results. 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. Condition drives the value sharply: scruffy bodies with sticky shutters fetch the lower end, while cosmetically clean, accurate examples push toward and occasionally above £100.
