Nikon Nikkormat FT3
50mm Nikkor Black

This all black, Nikkormat FT3 was made for only several months during 1977. The FT3 is essentially identical to the FT2 except that it supports Nikkor lenses with the Automatic Indexing feature. This camera comes with a 50mm Nikkor 1:2 Lens. AI Nikkor lenses had an external “meter coupling ridge” on the lens aperture ring that pushed on an external “meter coupling lever” on a ring surrounding the FT3’s lens mount flange. This transfers lens set aperture information.

However this “meter coupling lever” (see red arrow) is missing on this particular camera, but it will not affect it’s ability to take photographs. The cover for the battery compartment is also missing however it is incredibly easy to replace (you can use a coin) and works just fine (less the display screen) without batteries. This camera comes as-is and will make a great project to fix up or be a great decoration piece for the vintage enthusiast.
