For sale is my Nikkormat FTN with a Nikkor HC 50mm f2 lens. Everything is working as it should, shutter speeds sound good, etc., body has some scuffs, but nothing out of the ordinary. Absolutely fantastic camera that doubles as a anti-mugging battering ram. Lens is in great shape, some internal dust, but very sharp. Or shahp, as some in Maine say.

Earlier this year, I installed new seals from a kit I purchased from Jon Goodman. I can't say enough on how great his seal kits are. The proof is the mirror bumper foam (see photo 4) it matches exactly the one that was originally with the camera. Whoever replaced the seals before I did just put in a thin piece of foam.

The meter works and it is accurate compared with Luna Pro F. When I say accurate, I mean when I use it with an MR-9 battery adapter I purchased from Ebay. These of course adjust the voltage from a 1.5v silver oxide battery to match the 1.3v mercury batteries the camera was made for. Without it, you can use a silver oxide 1.5v battery, but you'll have to adjust the ASA dial to match a trusted meter for exposures.

I took the black and white shots this past Sunday. It's a great camera, it just needs to be used more than I have been using it.

$100 includes shipping in the U.S., PM me for an international charge. If you want the MR-9 adapter (photo 9), add $10.

This was my first Nikon SLR, along with most likely that same generation 50 f/2. I've since picked up a few of its younger siblings. GLWS.

So surprised this great camera hasn't sold yet. $70 includes shipping in the U.S., $10 extra for the MR-9 adapter.

It's a great camera at a great price. Unfortunately, I already have 2 Nikkormats and just bought a 2nd F2 :sad: Best of luck with the sale!
