Offered here is an exceptionally rare Nikon F3/T Black Paint, presented in extraordinary, near-mint condition. This is a true collector’s piece, remarkably preserved, with no mechanical or cosmetic issues.
The black paint finish is extremely pristine, showing virtually no signs of use. Edges are sharp, paint is deep and even, and the camera retains the presence and character that only a genuine black-paint titanium F3 can offer. Finding an example this clean is increasingly difficult.
Condition highlights:
• Original Titanium (F3/T) body
• Black paint finish in outstanding, collector-grade condition
• No dents, no brassing, no corrosion
• Clean prism and viewfinder
• Meter accurate and responsive
• Shutter speeds correct across all ranges
• All functions working perfectly
• Film advance smooth and precise
Buyer beware: Dao sold a Nikon F3/T and 58mm f/1.2 Noct with a claimed 1 year warranty to me a month ago that was lost in shipping 2 weeks ago. After opening a claim with FedEx I was told the package was gone and the seller would have to open an investigation. I’ve sent several messages this week to Dao with no response from him, yet he has no issues posting items for sale or selling items currently. It seems Dao is quick to take other’s money, but has issues returning it when items they bought don’t appear. I strongly urge you to reconsider working with him.
I will take this message down when he honors his part of the sales practice and issues me a return, as I requested over a week ago.
Unfortunately Dao has not responded to any of my messages and I doubt he will, so I’ve come to my own conclusions. He most likely sent my camera and lens uninsured, and when FedEx lost the package, instead of returning my $4k to me, he decided ignoring me and committing embezzlement would be a better resolution.
