Out of Stock
- Fully functional
- Minor signs of use
- Minor scratches
- Core Specifications Type: Eye-level pentaprism finder Metering: None (fully non-metered) View orientation: Upright, correct (non-reversed) image Finder system: Interchangeable with other Nikon F finders
- Optical / Viewing Performance Frame coverage: ~100% of the image area (typical for Nikon F prisms) View type: Bright ground-glass focusing via reflex mirror + prism Magnification: Not officially specified (varies slightly by version, approx. ~0.8x equivalent feel) Focusing screen compatibility: Fully interchangeable screens
- Physical Characteristics Construction: Solid metal housing (chrome or black finishes) Design: Compact, low-profile prism (smaller than later Photomic heads) Mounting: Slides onto Nikon F body with locking mechanism Versions: Multiple revisions (early non-threaded eyepiece, later versions accept screw-in diopters)
- Functional Notes This is the original finder introduced in 1959 with the Nikon F system Requires external meter or Sunny 16 (no built-in exposure system) Later Photomic finders replaced it for TTL metering, but this remained popular for: Simplicity Reliability (no electronics) Smaller form factor
- Practical Characteristics (real-world use) Bright, clean optical path—no meter clutter in view Best for purist/manual shooters Much lighter and more balanced than Photomic prisms Commonly preferred today for street + documentary shooting on Nikon F
- Key Distinction Don’t confuse it with: Photomic finders (FTn, T, etc.) → add TTL metering, much larger Action finder / waist-level finder → different viewing ergonomics entirely
