Nikon F + Nikkor-O.C Auto 35mm F2 (non-AI)

One of the most historically significant 35mm cameras ever made — the legendary Nikon F, paired with the prized Nikkor-O.C Auto 35mm f/2 (non-AI) wide-angle prime. The Nikon F was the camera that changed professional photography forever: the world's first truly successful 35mm system SLR, used by photojournalists, NASA, and shooters worldwide from 1959 onwards. This particular example has been recently serviced, includes the iconic waist-level finder, and the matched 35mm f/2 is a sharp, character-filled wide that suits the F's vintage character beautifully.

Condition

• Cosmetic: Excellent overall condition, recently serviced. Lens is super clean — no fungus, haze, or scratches. Some super tiny cleaning scratches on the front element with no impact on image quality at all. One aperture blade on the lens is slightly off alignment, but this is quite common with vintage lenses and doesn't noticeably affect image or bokeh quality.
• Functional: Fully mechanically working — recently serviced. Crisp waist-level finder image. There is a small dent on the prism housing at the top as shown, but no effect on functionality. An exceptional camera and lens combo.

Included

• Nikon F body
• Waist-level finder
• Nikkor-QC Auto 35mm f/2 (non-AI) lens

A genuinely collectable and shootable piece of photographic history. Recently serviced, mechanically perfect, with clean lens glass and an honest, fully disclosed cosmetic dent on the prism housing. The waist-level finder gives this F a distinct look-and-feel — and the 35mm f/2 Nikkor is one of the most beloved focal lengths in the F-mount system. A camera you can use today and pass on tomorrow.
