Up for grabs is a lovely black Nikkormat FT2 with a very clean late Micro-Nikkor 55mm f:3.5 non AI lens. The 55 has the early multi-coating and is marked as a (c) lens. It comes with the proper M2 extension ring that allows 1:1 focusing.
The FT2 differs from the Nikkormat FTN by using the common MS76 battery instead of the old mercury batteries that need a work around. It also has some of the F2 cosmetics (plastic wind tip and self timer lever) and a hot shoe for flash. It retains the look and feel of the classic Nikkormat along with the bullet proof copal square shutter and center-weighted meter. The meter works well but is off a stop or two that can easily be corrected with the ASA dial. This is not a beater, but it has just the right amount of edge brassing, used but not abused.
Price for camera and lens $155 includes Priority Mail shipping in Continental US

To further note the attractive features of the FT2 in particular, besides its use of modern batteries, I'll add:

* convenient depth of field preview
* mirror lock up
* self timer
* metering of both pre-AI and AI lenses wide open (FT3 won't do that)

I have one of these; they're great. Good luck with the sale.
