    Default Nikon F3hp

    I know manual focus cameras aren’t commanding premium prices anymore and I need to clear out some space (and buy more motorcycle gear ) so I’m selling all of my manual focus Nikon gear.

    • Nikon F3 body (very good shape)
    • Nikon DE-2 standard eye-level finder (this came on the camera, excellent shape)
    • Nikon DE-3HP finder (bought this used separately off photo.net; shows brassing, missing vinyl, small dents but fully functional)
    • Nikon MD-4 motor drive w/ extra battery holder (shows some wear, but functions perfectly)
    • Nikon MN-2 Ni-Cad battery (only used a few times)
    • Nikon MH-2 Ni-Cad charger
    • Nikkor 35-135mm Micro (Nikon’s macro)- excellent lens
    • Nikkor 200mm f4 w/ Nikon case CL-33
    • Nikkor 50mm f1.8
    • Sigma 28-84mm f3.5 macro
    • Nikon MR-3 motor terminal release
    • Nikon AS-4 flash mount
    • Nikon MC-12A cable release
    • Nikon DB-2 cold weather battery pack
    • Assorted lens covers and some other stuff I’m sure I’m forgetting at the moment (I need to go through all of the camera stuff I have accumulated over the years)

    Everything works as it should and should provide years of trouble free service. I can provide pictures of anything as needed.

    I’m open to any reasonable offers- these seem to be selling for $250-300 for the body and motor drive. The Nikkor 35-135mm alone is worth as much as the body and motordrive (see Ebay link in post below).



    I’m probably going to sell my F5 along with my extra power brackets, etc too.

    F3's are the bomb. Someone ought to pick up this outfit. Dead reliable and very affordable.

    Tell me more about the 200mm.

    Trust me, very interested. Just no funds for it.

    OK, I'm wrong about the 200mm- it's a standard 200mm f4 AI; sorry about the error. Serves me right for pulling up my old record on the camera- the lens I forgot to list (on the camera at the moment) is actually the micro and one of the best manual lenses Nikon made. Nikkor 35-135mm 1:3.5~4.5 Micro. Here's a listing of the same lens on Ebay (I didn't realize they were still worth so much! http://cgi.ebay.com/Nikon-Ais-35-135...QQcmdZViewItem

    Here's a poor quality picture I just took of it sitting on my desk.


    The Sigma lens is a macro though and I've also got a set off close up filters in 52mm (the 200mm is 52mm). I've also got a Bogen 3025 tripod head I'll throw in (stickers missing off of it) but functions fine.
