A friend found these in a closet and would love to sell them. They are in great shape, with the exception of the 35mm lens on the Nikkormat which won't focus on infinity. Is there any interest out there?
Ohhhh, these will be gone soon...
Check the "Sold" prices on E-Bay for the going rate.
These were really fine cameras in their day. I still have my first Nikon - a Nikomat ftn (the Japanese domestic name) that I finally just wore out. The potentiometer ring on the body was worn away, so no aperture settings were transmitted, It was absolutely reliable! A friend gave me as F that had been his father's. It took a lot of pictures, in a lot of places, some pretty rugged, It still works perfectly, but I am into DSLRs now. My D7100 reminds me, in a way , of my F: solidly built, utterly reliable and a great tool!
My DSLRs have been Nikon (5000 and now 7100) because my first SLR was an F and there never was a better 35mm camera (but if someone were to offer me a Nikon F6 new [or even “gently used”] I’d take it!).

That's what I use, the F6.....
I am rejuvenating my Nikon Ftn and my F2. Got film loaded in the F2, started out to shoot a roll and it was
raining.

I’ll offer 175 for both based on what I see on eBay the f2 is first generation it appears to have the photomic head which mimics the meter head of the old “f” fun

They were both great camera in the old day.
I still have the early 1970-1971 Nikon FTn plus a waist-lever view finder, and the Nikkormat FTn, and a 35mm f2.8; 43-86mmf3.5; 135mm f2.8 plus a couple Vivitar F mounted lenses, they are in great condition, and I am using them on my Nikon Df and D200 (after modified two of them to AI)
Some body will take your offer for sure! Good Luck!
