Nikon F2A Photomic 25th Anniversary Limited Edition Camera Set

I have my new, never used 25th Anniversary Nikon F2A 35mm SLR camera available for purchase. It was produced by Nikon USA in extremely limited quanities in early 1978. The Nikon F2A is ledgendary among camera collectors and this set is the best of the best. The baseplate has an engraved (by Nikon) number in the sequence. It’s guaranteed to be still new and free of any marks.

$995.00

You may buy it here through PayPal or from my Etsy camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com. I ship practically worldwide. Ask for a quote on shipping it to you.

It looks like it did when it left Nikon USA back in 1978.

The 25th Anniversary badge has never been attached. This is how I received it from Nikon USA.

It has gorgeous chrome surfaces with no marks anywhere.

Matching serial number on the DP-11 finder.

Perfect. Never had even one roll of film installed.

Hi all! I have a nice one-owner Nikon F3 HP 35mm SLR film camera for sale in my camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com

This one was made in July 1983 according to the date code stamped internally.

Nikon advertisement from around 1983.

It’s a fun (and easy) camera to use and gives excellent results. There are two versions of the original shown here – an ISO 400 and an ISO 1000 version. The two versions look exactly the same it’s the ISO dial above the lens that’s different (this is actually the ISO 1000 version just set at 400). Thanks for stopping by, Chris

Nikon L25AF vs One Touch (AF3)

January 14, 2023January 14, 2023Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Round one – weight.

Both cameras were weighed with their respective batteries installed but with no film. There appears to be more metal in the L35AF and of course, the lens is a five element lens (not sure how much of a difference there is between a 5 element and 4 element lens). The One Touch has much more plastic but it still feels quite solid.

Round two – size.

The One Touch is a bit wider than the L35AF and certainly more modern looking.

Since both cameras are considered to be compact point & shoot models from the same manufacturer I don’t think the size was a consideration. There’s a four-year gap between the two so I’ll guess the difference in weight is the amount of metal used and the advancement in electronics minimization. I haven’t run a roll of film through the L35AF yet but I’ve used two different One Touch cameras and enjoyed using them.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris

Testing my Nikon One Touch L35 AF3 film camera.

Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400 color negative film (expired 2019-11). No post-processing. Scanned by the lab.

I’m very pleased with the results of my recent test roll through the Nikon. The One Touch AF3 (987) has a Nikon f2.8 35mm lens that’s been reported to be not quite as sharp as the original Nikon lens used in the first version of the camera, the Nikon L35AF. The autofocus was accurate and I’m pleased with the autoexposure of this image given the late afternoon sun and strong contrast of the scene. I’ll be testing the original L35 soon and I’ll be able to get some comparisons between the two.

Same roll of Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400 film.

It would have been interesting to have shot with some of the new Kodak films but with the current price of film, I stayed with the Fujicolor. I’m happy with the Nikon’s performance. More pics to follow. If you’re interested to learn more (much more) about this Nikon compact P&S camera check out Mike Eckman’s fantastic post at https://mikeeckman.com/2016/11/nikon-one-touch-af3-1987/

This little camera performed like new! Sharp and fast Nikon f/2.8 35mm lens.

Chasing Classic Cameras – another Nikon N75 / U2

March 24, 2021March 24, 2021Chris and Carol Leave a comment

The Nikon N75 / U2 was one of the last 35mm AF SLR film cameras made by Nikon. U2 for the Japanese market, N75 in the United States, and F75 elsewhere. It’s a rather sophisticated camera with a host of useful and cool features, even full on manual.

To me the black body looks sexy and the silver one looks kind of pewter or champagne silver (if that’s even a color).

Hi all! I have a very nice classic Nikon DSLR from 2005 – it’s been fully tested, it’s super clean, and works 100%. The Nikkor lens is super sharp and focuses quickly and accurately. The lens can mount on any F mount body and can focus both with autofocus and manually.

Full auto exposure and autofocus at full zoom. Great details, nice contrast, and fantastic colors.
