Up for sale is an excellent working example of the classic NIKON 1967 Nikkormat FT N 35mm SLR film camera in black trim.


This early fully manual Nikon camera is well-known for its exceptional reliability, and supports "Pre-Ai,"  Ai and Ai-S type F mount Nikon lenses (requires "rabbit ears/lobster claw" for open aperture metering). 


Camera is in excellent vintage condition with light handling wear, very minor viewfinder specs,  clean interior, and tested working mechanics and meter!

NOTE REGARDING FOAM SEALS: Like nearly all camera bodies of its age, this camera uses a foam rubber mirror mirror bumper and film door light seals. It is in the nature of this material to degrade and begin to crumble over time. With these vintage bodies approaching half a century or more in age, it is common for them to develop light leaks and/or mirror vibrations as the result of foam degradation.

Since degradation/failure of these components over time is a normal occurrence, they are considered consumables, and are not covered under the money-back guarantee for this item. Therefore, while a camera may work just fine as received, I strongly recommend that all vintage camera bodies be re-sealed prior to use in order to prevent the risk of ruined shots/wasted film.

If you are the DIY type, very inexpensive ($10-$15) foam kits are available for nearly all vintage cameras, and I am happy to help you source one if you are interested in doing the work yourself. If you want to spare yourself the hassle, I can also reseal your body for a fee of $35 prior to shipment. I can do this either in adhesive-backed foam rubber similar to what was used for the original seals, or in cinema cam-style wool yarn, which is permanent and will never need to be replaced (not all models are amenable to wool seals).

If you are interested in having your camera resealed by me, please message me at the time of your purchase, and I can send you instructions for payment of the additional fee.
