This is on my short list of coolest camera/lens combos ever (along with M w/Summicron and Rollei w/Planar). I wish I could say it was the one the link below, but someone might notice his lens is a couple years older:

That is from this cool collection of photos:

Nikon F w/prism finder in really nice condition, with 105 f2.5 Nikkor P. Prism F's in this condition are fairly uncommon since most were bought by working pros who gave them daily hard use (which they handled very well). This belonged to a local amateur photographer and has survived the past nearly 45 years in surprisingly nice shape. Very minor wear - bright marks on the baseplate and very small wear marks on the edges of the back are all I notice.
The 105 f2.5 Nikkor is the sonnar design lens famous for both excellent sharpness and bokeh. It is also in very nice shape with excellent glass (and always and originally paired to this body) but does have a very noticeable pressure mark in the silver on the filter ring (from straightening out a ding, I believe). It is a great performing lens and really does have a classic look that holds up well even on the newest cameras. Most likely made in late 1967 or early 1968.
KEH has an F body w/prism in similar condition for $339, so how about $325 for the outfit. You are welcome to PM an offer on the lens or body, but I won't separate them unless nobody wants the outfit. The prism is a relatively high part of the value, and I do not want to sell it separate from the body.
Payment by PayPal as a "gift". US only. Preference to Apug regulars (I mention this only because I've had some suspicious inquiries and offers in the past).
More pictures later. I'm sneaking out for a bicycle ride (and some ramp digging) before the good weather goes away; I'll catch up with PM's in a couple hours.
