About Nikon F3
The Nikon F3 High-Eyepoint is a professional SLR 35mm film camera. The camera was first introduced to the market in 1980 and continued production until 2001. What made this camera unique is its versatility. It has six interchangeable finder options, including waist-level finders, and 22 focusing screen options. The camera was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro specifically for NASA, so it has numerous lenses, flash options, customizable grips, motor-drive, and other accessories. The Nikon F3 comes in two body types: the Standard F3, which is what we have, and the F3T, which was made of titanium specifically for NASA. This is Nikon’s last manual focus camera, and its biggest feature is that you can shoot in automatic exposure with aperture priority. This camera has an electronic shutter, so it requires a battery, but it also has a manual backup shutter in case your battery dies. Some of the most famous images are captured by this camera. It’s also been used in movies by famous actors like Sean Penn and Ben Stiller in “The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty,”. The approximate value as of June 2024 for this camera is between $400 to $1,100.
