What it is
{"overview":"The Nikon SP is a 35mm rangefinder camera introduced in the late 1950s, positioned as Nikon's top-of-the-line rangefinder body when new. With only two verified results on file, the figure is indicative rather than a settled market value, and what a black SP is worth today depends heavily on cosmetic condition, originality of the black paint, and whether the matched-period finder masks and accessories are present.","buying_guide":"Inspect the black paint finish closely: genuine factory black-paint Nikon SPs command a substantial premium over repainted or later examples, so provenance and brassing patterns matter.

Questions
Why is the black SP more valuable than the chrome version?
Black-paint Nikon SP bodies were produced in far smaller quantities than chrome examples, and original-finish bodies in honest condition are scarce, which is reflected in the price collectors pay.
