Nikon N65 35mm film SLR w/ AF Vivitar 28-80mm lens (serial 2537429)
The Nikon N65 (called the F65 in some countries) is a sophisticated 35mm film SLR from the early aughts. The included lens is an autofocus Vivitar 28-80mm 3.5-5.6 zoom with a detachable hood.
The camera has excellent ergonomics, simplicity of operation when you need to work fast, and advanced features when you need them. It also features a very handy built-in pop-up flash (as well as a hot-shoe if you need to use a more powerful or bounce flash). Our only criticism is that it doesn't offer a way to manually set the film speed (so we do not recommend this camera to people who roll their own bulk-load film cassettes).
This is the version of the N65 with an optional date and time imprinting feature. We installed a fresh clock battery.
Battery info
This camera requires 2 CR2 lithium batteries (available as an option). The optional date/time imprinting feature requires a CR2025 button cell (included).
Condition notes
The camera and lens are in very good cosmetic condition (see photos) and are working perfectly. We tested the camera's shutter speeds, light meter, and autoexposure modes; everything is working with very good accuracy.
