The final and most refined Nikkormat - a tank-tough mechanical SLR from 1977, paired with a classic standard prime.

Key specs:

  • All-mechanical operation
  • Nikkor 50mm f/2 standard lens
  • Nikon F mount with AI metering coupling
  • Copal Square vertical metal shutter (1–1/1000s + B)
  • TTL centre-weighted metering
  • Uses a modern 1.5V silver-oxide battery (SR44)

The FT3 was the last of the line and the pick of the bunch - it brought AI (Automatic Indexing) metering to the Nikkormat, so AI lenses couple instantly just by mounting them. Like its siblings it's built like a vault: heavy, all-metal, and famously reliable, with the distinctive shutter-speed ring around the lens mount. Fully mechanical, so it shoots without a battery (the cell only powers the meter).

Lens system: Nikon F mount

50mm f/2.0

Skill Level: Intermediate

  • Comfortable with basic settings
  • Understanding aperture/shutter relationship
  • Aperture-priority cameras, basic manual SLRs with meters

Warranty: 2 Months from purchase

All second-hand film cameras sold at Camera House NZ come with a 2 month warranty when they've been film tested by us.

Our 2 month warranty covers mechanical and electronic failures that occur during normal use. If something goes wrong with your camera during this period, bring it back and we'll sort it out.

This warranty reflects our confidence in the cameras we sell and our commitment to getting you out shooting with reliable equipment. We've been in the photography business since 1953, and we stand behind the gear we sell.

Guarantee: Film Tested

We put a roll of film through each camera to verify that the shutter, film advance, and light meter (where fitted) are working correctly. This real-world testing ensures you're getting a camera that's ready to shoot, not just one that looks good on the shelf.
