Description
To many, the Nikon F3 represents the absolute pinnacle of all manual 35mm SLR cameras, still considered today as some of the company’s finest work. With every feature you could want on-board, and every feature you could even imagine available through an expansive system of modular add-on components, the F3 truly does have it all. This is further evidenced by being Nikon’s longest-running production – this same camera was produced right up through 2001 – over 21 years from its original 1980 release. It also holds a place in the company’s history as their final manual camera, surviving to be offered alongside the automatic F4 and F5 for the latter 13 and 5 years of its production receptively. The F3 owes it’s styling to Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, an automotive designer with an extensive career in supercars and everyday vehicles alike. From his work on the camera came the signature red stripe around the grip, which is still carried through on Nikon’s cameras today.
This F3 and its MD-4 Motor Drive are mint-in-box, only used for film testing.
I have this item available with several Nikkor f/2 lenses.
