Introduced in the mid-1970s, the Nikkormat FT2 is the refined follow-up to the Nikkormat FTN. Compared to its older sibling, it has the advantage of using a modern long-lasting 357 silver oxide battery for its light meter (available as an option). And like all the mechanical Nikkormats, this camera combines tank-like build quality with a generous array of advanced features (eg depth of field preview; mirror lockup, auxiliary light meter readout on top of camera). 

Professionals frequently used the Nikkormat cameras because of their reliability and faster flash sync speed compared to the contemporary professional standard F2.

Battery info

This camera requires a 357/SR44 silver oxide battery (available as an option).

Condition notes 

We film-tested this camera and it delivered excellent results. In addition, we verified the shutter speed accuracy with a shutter tester. The only noteworthy flaw is a small black speck in the viewfinder. It's in good cosmetic condition (see photos). The included Tokina 28mm lens is in very good condition as well.
