Nikon Nikkormat FTN
The Nikkormat FTN is a 35mm SLR introduced by Nikon in 1967, sitting below the professional Nikon F in the range while sharing the same Nikon F bayonet mount. It was positioned as a more affordable, all-mechanical body aimed at enthusiasts, featuring through-the-lens centre-weighted metering.
At UK auction today, hammer prices for the Nikkormat FTN typically fall in the £40–£150 range, with a median around £90 on recent results — wholesale levels before buyer's premium, not retail. Condition is the main driver of value: tatty examples with dead meters sell for well under £50, while clean, fully working bodies with a kit lens can push towards the upper end of that range. Because so many were made, a Nikkormat FTN is rarely worth chasing unless the cosmetics and meter are genuinely sound.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Nikkormat FTN worth today?
Recent UK auction hammer prices put the value of a Nikkormat FTN body between roughly £40 and £150, with a median near £90 depending on cosmetic condition and whether the meter still works.
How much does a Nikkormat FTN sell for at auction?
Clean, working examples typically sell for around £90–£150 at UK saleroom level, while rough bodies with dead meters or heavy wear can go for as little as £40.
Is the Nikkormat FTN a good buy at its current price?
At sub-£100 money it is a cheap way into the Nikon F bayonet system, since any F-mount manual-focus lens will fit, but budget for new light seals and expect the meter to need attention.
Does the Nikkormat FTN use the same lenses as the Nikon F?
Yes — it uses the Nikon F bayonet mount, so manual-focus Nikkor lenses of the period mount directly, which is a large part of why the body retains any market value at all.
