Nikon F401 With 38-135mm Sigma
Entry-level autofocus film SLR from the late 1980s with versatile zoom lens.
Key specs:
- Autofocus
- Sigma 28-135mm zoom lens
- Program modes and manual control
- Built-in flash
- Nikon F-mount
Condition: Some mould on the front element of the lens. This may affect image quality (potential softness, reduced contrast, or flare), though light mould on the front element often has less impact than you'd expect. The body itself is unaffected.
The F401 (sold as N4004 in North America) was one of Nikon's early autofocus SLRs - simple, approachable, and built for everyday shooting. Program modes make it easy for beginners, while manual controls give you room to grow. The Sigma 28-135mm zoom covers a useful range from wide angle through to short telephoto.
