For Sale [SOLD] Nikon F Photomic - $75 + Shipping

[Eric S]

I tried my hand at making a repair to the pentaprism, which was desilvering. No luck. The prism finder is usable, but only for someone who is willing to look past the defects (literally).

1 second sounds like exactly 1 second. Everything seems to work beautifully, though I did NOT test the meter and would not count on it as there was a great deal of fog in the glass in the metering system in the finder (noticed when I had it apart). New foam mirror bumper and new foam beneath the finder.

Body seems sound. I'm putting all my eggs in one basket (restoration on an F2), so selling off the collection of cameras I've accumulated.

$75 via Paypal (I will invoice you) plus shipping which shouldn't be more than $15 in Conus (USPS First Class would be my suggestion).

This is a great deal for someone with a good prism laying around.

Sure is! I paid more than that for my F with a plain prism, and then had to have a CLA plus a new shutter speed disk since the speeds had worn off. Using the prism exposure meter the speeds are displayed on the meter dial. Had there been a stop in the shutter dial I could have adapted, but with the speeds worn off there was no way to tell what was B or T and what was 1/1000 without firing the shutter!

Or if you know how to re-silver the prism. The prism glass is in very nice condition. No scratches that I could see.

Too bad, I have 3 extra F2 prisms but none for the F. Bob.
