From the way back machine and in great shape, back when Nikon thought it would try to match the leica M3. A solid camera, the flash is from the same period and also in very good shape. I don't remember ever using it, but the shutter sounds good at different speeds, lens glass is perfect behind a filter and all the cranks and dials turn and click. Viewfinder is clear and both focusing methods work. Built like a tank, feels like you could pound nails with it and then use it to take a picture of whatever you were building. According to the web these were made from 1958-1967, about 15,000 total - this one is from the first year as it has a silk shutter. As always, trades and offers welcome - I like nikon and fuji

I broke down, bought some film and took some pictures around the house to see how it looks. Definitely not art worthy, like the rest of my pictures unfortunately. But everything works, and the shutter is sound,lens is clear. Pretty good for a camera that is as old as me. And please ignore the quality of the scans, my scanner sucks and the pictures were mat.
