Matching FTn finder for Nikkor F

feeds@yuku.com (nikonf) — Mon, 05 May 2008 13:42:13 GMT

Dear collectors,

A few weeks ago I purchased a chrome Nikkor F, serial # 7020407 for german market
with FTn finder, serial # 765984.
I guess the serial # for the finder is too high to match with the body.
I suppose the chrome part with "Nikkor" engraved was attached later on to a
common FTn finder with this high serial #.
If so does this fact decrease the value of the complete camera ?

What is your oppinion ?
Thanks for any help...

Correct back for my Nikon F

feeds@yuku.com (mynikonf2) — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 08:53:40 GMT

I have a Nikon F (serial # 6420894) that has an owner's ID # engraved on the bottom of the back plate. The curious thing about this back plate is that there are no patent #'s inscribed on the inside of the back plate. On another F (serial # 6403540) there are patent #'s on the inside of the back plate.

When did Nikon stop placing patent #'s on the inside of the F? The plate with the ID engraved is original to the camera because it was purchased new by the person...

Aarrrgh, left Tony's poster of the exploded Nikon F on plane.

Otherwise, had a fantastic time at the NHS Convention in Vancouver.

Kudos to Mike for a great convention.

F2 Titanium

feeds@yuku.com (MikeXC) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 19:50:29 GMT

Hello All-

I'm brand new to the forum and looking for advice on selling some gear. Ebay and Craigslists don't seem the way to go, but I may be wrong. Most of the stuff is pretty basic Nikkor lenses, and a couple of F3HP bodies, but I have also a F2 Titanium, s/n 9204063. This camera has never been out of the original plastic bag, and all of the documentation is still in the box. Any ideas out there on value, collectibility, etc? (note that this body does not have the...

US GOVT PROPERTY or U.S.GOVT.PROPERTY

feeds@yuku.com (Sover) — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 08:18:39 GMT

Some Nikon cameras were inscribed to show they (once) belonged to the US government. Some are fakes, but very difficult to spot the difference from the genuine ones.

I have seen Fs with US GOVT PROPERTY and U.S.GOVT.PROPERTY

Are both versions genuine?

It's not hard to add inscriptions on a camera. There was a completely working F DUMMY on eBay a few years back. Obviously a fake, but sold for a high price nevertheless.

Nikon M 'red' sync

feeds@yuku.com (NikonRF) — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 12:33:43 GMT

Do you know the story of the M red sync version (I guess it is called 'red eye' as well...)? I have seen a few of them so far, all with S/N 60935xx. How many were manufactured and when? Do they represent the first 'bright chrome' bodies?

Thanks for your informations.

Hk-7 Hood for Nikon 28MM 1.4D Repair

EPOI & Minolta

feeds@yuku.com (nikonnl) — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:48:56 GMT

Gentlemen, is it true that EPOI imported Minolta equipment as well? I´ve run into a Minolta Autopack slide projector which is identical to the Nikomat/Nikkormat projector. Everything is interchangeable, even the remote control. The lens on the Minolta is a P-Rokkor 2.8/4 inch/100mm, without any indication where it was made (no ´made in japan´). Both this Rokkor and the Pro-Nikkor 3.5/4 inch/100mm lens are the only lenses of those manufacturers I know whith focal length in inches. Did J....

Searching for black Nikon F eye level finder

I live in Vienna, Austria.
I am searching for a black Nikon F eye level finder with rectangular eypiece
with nameplate "Nikon F" or "Nikon" inside.

Does anyone now intend to sell such a finder ?

Thanks

feeds@yuku.com (jtengfoto) — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 11:56:35 GMT

I come across this image and want to know what camera is this. It looks like a rangefinder. I copied this from a power point so I can not make a better image of the camera.
