some writeup on this S3 kit:


"In February 2000 Nikon surprised the rangefinder world by introducing the S3 2000, a near duplicate of their classic 1958 S3 in chrome finish. Introduced with the S3 was a new formula multicoated 50/1.4 Nikkor lens. It is the only multi-coated normal yet made in Nikon rangefinder mount, and is presumably the sharpest ever, the beneficiary of over four decades of optical improvements.

It was quite a production to produce S3's again, as all the original dies were long gone, and Nikon had not produced a hand assembled camera since the F2 stopped production in 1978.

Production by hand assembly is only 300 per month, so it will take years for all of the new S3's to be delivered. Deliveries will start in the November 2000. Nikon's cost is more than the selling price of the camera, over $6,000 each.

Once the S3 2000 is released that only a small number will be available for resale, while a much larger customer base will want the camera once its quality is realized. This will result in used S3 2000's selling for more than their original price."
