EARLY Nikon F camera w Eyelevel Finder Serial 6401844

Description: Nikon F w/eyelevel Finder Up for bids is this vintage classic Nikon F camera body from the first 1959 production run. Introduced in 1959, the Nikon F camera introduced the concept of the 35 mm single-lens reflex camera (SLR) system; that is to say, it introduced a lineup of interchangeable parts connected to the camera body, thus revolutionizing photography as we knew it. The Nikon F reigned supreme as the professional system for the next 2 decades and set the standard by which all others would strive to attain. Condition:As you can see from the photos, the camera body cosmetics are in good condition. There are areas of wear as shown in the photos which capture all sides. Mainly on the base of the back and sides. Some wear visible on the shutter curtains. A fine line on the mirror where it contacts the inside of the mirror box. Screen has wear. Some lifting on the leatherette. Finder is clear. As cosmetic condition is subjective, I have photographed all sides for you to draw your own assessment. No fungus in the finder. No mirror separationThe shutter fires at all speeds and seem reasonable - I don't have a shutter tester to determine accuracy of the speeds. Self timer works fine. Typical to any vintage camera, a CLA (Clean, lube adjustment) and new seals would be recommended if the goal is to put it back into service.
