Want to Buy WTB: Nikon F mount from body for experiments

[keithostertag]

I'd like to play around with making a camera using my existing Nikon F mount lenses.

I need the female side of the mount- the part that is normally on the camera to accept my lenses. Not sure the correct terminology, hopefully you will know what I mean. I just want to mount my existing Nikon F lenses to the front of my homemade camera.

So if you happen to have an old broken Nikon camera which accepts F mount lenses please consider selling me one very cheap (or free). I only want the lens mount (and possibly screws)- not the shutter or prism or film transport or any other parts.

Thanks,
Keith

I think this might work. I bought a couple of these a few years ago. You have to provide some clearance for the lens-release lever to press rearward. The mounting screws were included in the mounts I received.

How about an M2 extension tube?

This was my first thought, I just bought one off of eBay for like eight bucks. Just checked there’s one listed for like $7.12 with free shipping. There are lots to choose from in the 10-20 dollar price range.

I've got a parts F2 that I've stripped of most of its parts except the lens mount and the mirror box. You're welcome to the lens mount for the cost of postage....
