Welcome!

For your consideration:


A Nikon S3 35mm rangefinder camera circa 1958 with a fast and desirable Nikkor-s  f1.4/50mm lens. Silk horizontal plane shutter speeds to 1/1000th of a second. Coupled rangefinder focusing with a huge viewfinder with frame lines for other wide angle and telephoto lenses. This specimen has been well cared for, showing only minor signs of use or age. Fully working shutter and rangefinder, clean and clear optics.  If you want a rangefinder camera that shoots like a Nikon F, you will be familiar with the advance lever, shutter dials and removable back!


Condition details: Body with minor signs of use and age. Scuffing to black paint work. Minor marks and oxidation on chrome. Leatherette in nice shape. Film chamber is clean with only light marks on pressure plate. Shutter charges and fires fine with slow and fast speeds sounding correct to my ear. Lens glass without scratches, haze or fungus. Aperture blades are clean, dry and adjust well. Rangefinder glass is clean, bright and double image aligns as it should. Focusing is smooth and free.  Film advance works as designed.
