The Nikon F (JAY8) has been inspected and tested by CPB Darkroom and is in working mechanical condition. The camera functions correctly, with all buttons, dials, and controls operating as intended. The shutter performs properly across its operating range, and the film transport mechanism functions smoothly.

The light meter in the Photomic FTN finder is not functioning, and users will need to rely on an external light meter or manual exposure estimation when shooting. As the Nikon F is a fully mechanical camera, shutter operation remains completely independent of batteries and is unaffected by the non-functional meter.

Cosmetically, the camera body is in good condition, showing a few scratches and signs of regular use consistent with age. The leather covering shows slight wear in places but remains intact overall. The images shown depict the exact camera you will receive.

Introduced in 1959, the Nikon F is one of the most influential professional cameras ever made and helped establish Nikon as a leading name in photography. Built to withstand professional use, it became the camera of choice for photojournalists, documentary photographers, and war correspondents around the world. Its modular design, fully mechanical reliability, and extensive lens compatibility have ensured its lasting reputation among film photographers and collectors.

Compatible with Nikon F-mount lenses, the Nikon F remains a versatile platform for portraits, documentary work, street photography, travel, and everyday shooting. Its robust construction and mechanical simplicity make it a dependable camera even decades after its introduction.

This camera uses standard 35mm (135) film, producing images in the 24 × 36 mm format.

SLR cameras sold by CPB Darkroom are inspected for shutter accuracy, film transport reliability, and overall mechanical functionality. Any cosmetic or functional notes are clearly described and reflected in the condition grade.
