SOLD! -Good condition cosmetically and fully functional with a very nice prism finder. Early Nikon F dating to late 1960.
Slow shutter speeds are accurate and faster speeds seem good also. Small bit of exterior corrosion in the chrome in a few areas, but the black paint is in good shape. No dents or dings. Very clean film chamber. Some bright marks and fine scratches in the chrome, mostly on the bottom from normal use. New mirror foam installed and leatherette is in good shape all around.
The prism is in excellent optical condition with just a few bright marks on the exterior. No internal desilvering or separation. Original focusing screen "A" is clean with very little dust.
I'd rate this as an excellent user camera, especially being 65 years old. Comes with Nikon F user manual from 1963 and a body cap.
Asking $140, plus $15 shipping anywhere in CONUS.
