Product Information

The Nikkormat FT is a testament to Nikon’s engineering excellence, designed to meet the demands of serious photographers. Its fully mechanical operation means it does not rely on batteries for the shutter mechanism, making it incredibly reliable even in challenging conditions. The camera’s shutter speed range, from 1 second to 1/1000th of a second, plus Bulb mode, provides flexibility for various shooting scenarios, from fast action to long exposures.

One of the standout features of the Nikkormat FT is its compatibility with Nikon F-mount lenses. This allows photographers to use a wide variety of Nikon lenses, from vintage manual focus lenses to more modern optics, expanding creative possibilities. The camera’s lens mount also includes a mirror lock-up function, which is particularly useful for reducing vibrations during macro photography and long exposures.

The Nikkormat FT is equipped with a built-in light meter that uses a match-needle system visible in the viewfinder. This system aids in achieving accurate exposure by aligning the needle with the center mark, making it easier for photographers to set the correct aperture and shutter speed. The viewfinder is bright and clear, providing a full view of the scene and aiding in precise composition.
