In 1968, I bought a Nikkormat camera in Cambridge, Massachusetts. That rugged camera served me flawlessly in USA, South America, and Europe with never a problem. I still have this original 1968-vintage booklet in my stuff (obviously, that means I keep far too much junk). The list of lenses is impressive, including five (!) fisheye options. The Medical-Nikkor had a built-in light around the glass.

If anyone would like a .pdf of the entire booklet, send me a message and I can send it to you.

I think that https://www.butkus.org/chinon/ who posts camera manuals for download would be interested in a copy which would be downloaded by others for a $3US donation to keep his free website going.
