I acquired a 1972 black paint Nikon F Photomic FTn body last year via a friend. The Nikon F Photomic FTn was my first SLR camera, and is still one of my favorites. I always wanted a black paint one! I still have a few of my favorite Nikkor lenses, still like 'em a lot. I fitted plain prism finder and a type A screen ... My favorite configuration for a Nikon F.

I shot the first half of the roll with a pre-AI Nikkor-H 85mm f/1.8 (1969 vintage) and the latter half of the roll with a Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 AI-S (1978 vintage). No great art here, I was mostly just testing the camera to see what shape it is in ... pretty darn good, it seems. These old Nikon Fs are certainly durable lumpkins... :-) Enjoy!
