Nikon Nikkormat FT3 Body w/ Half Case – Clean Condition, AI Milestone Model

This is a Nikon Nikkormat FT3 body in clean condition, paired with a vintage-style leather half case. Cosmetically excellent—no major dings or scratches, just light wear consistent with age. The shutter fires reliably, meter is responsive, and all speeds sound accurate. Like most cameras from this era, it could benefit from new light seals if you plan to put it into regular use.

What makes the FT3 special is its place in Nikon history—this was the final Nikkormat and the first in the line to fully support Nikon’s then-new AI (Aperture Indexing) lenses. That means full compatibility with the AI glass that would go on to define the legendary FM and FE series. If you’re building a Nikon manual focus system, this is a beautifully built, brass-bodied way to shoot your AI lenses with mechanical confidence.

A perfect choice for shooters who want something timeless and tank-like, or collectors seeking a key transitional model in Nikon’s evolution. Batteries not included. Case is included as shown.
