Two rough Nikon bodies that were my users until recently, and two nice condition Nikon lenses.
Nikon F with non-AI 35 f2.8 lens. Lens is in nice shape. The body is a late black paint "Apollo" model with plastic tipped F2 style advance lever. Lots of brassing and dings plus a couple of large red (nail polish?) dots around the shutter dial (see photo) put on by the previous owner as some sort of setting reminder. Finder is a black paint FT with lots of brassing and dings; the meter probably does not work. The back is chrome and also well used.
I used this body up through this past winter and it worked okay, with the exception that I seem to recall 1/1000 sec had an issue (I don't really ever get that speed so don't recall exactly). It certainly could stand a CLA, but worked fine for me as is.
Hopefully, price to sell at $95 plus shipping (CONUS only). Payment by Paypal money transfer as "gift".
Nikon F3 HP with AIS 35-70 f3.3-4.5 lens. Lens is in very nice shape.
The body condition requires a lot of explanation, it is very rough but does work. Shutter seems fine. Meter seems okay on Auto (I never used the meter and don't understand how, or if, it works on manual). The ISO setting dial is screwy (I can't read it, or change it), but it seems to be correctly set for ISO 100. The exposure compensation "should" give you a range of ISO 25-400. I just used it on manual and eyeball the exposure as I do with all my cameras.
There is a very well used MD-4 motor drive included. I believe it works (came from a pro friend), but I've only had the ni-cad batteries and no charger (and no real interest in the motor). The batteries have not been charged for a long time, so are probably not great.
Finally, this back has the coupling tab to leave the film leader out on auto rewind with the motor. When you don't use the motor, the tab keeps the camera from sitting flat on a table. It never bothered me in use. I do not have a cap for the motor drive coupling hole in the body, so just taped over it.
In spite of all those qualifications, I always enjoyed using this camera with it's nice bright finder and smooth operation.
F3 and lens $85 plus shipping (CONUS only). Payment by Paypal money transfer as "gift".
