The 1965 original Nikkormat — Nikon F-mount metering body for enthusiasts.

The Nikkormat FT was launched in 1965 as Nikon's mid-range alternative to the professional F, sold as the Nikomat in Japan. It opened the F mount to enthusiasts at a lower price and founded the Nikkormat line that ran through the FTN, FT2 and FT3 into the late 1970s.

The FT is an all-mechanical 35mm SLR with a Copal Square vertical metal shutter from 1 second to 1/1000 with 1/125 flash sync, controlled by a ring around the lens throat rather than a top dial. Through-the-lens CdS metering averages the frame and needs the maximum aperture indexed manually when mounting a lens. It has mirror lock-up, a depth of field preview and weighs about 745g without a lens.

Next to the later FTN the FT meters with a full-frame average rather than centre-weighting and its aperture indexing is fussier, but the bodies are otherwise close. The Copal shutter keeps working without batteries, and its tank-like build makes it one of the cheaper working routes into pre-AI Nikkor glass.

Meters often read off or dead because the original mercury cell is banned; a working meter or a zinc-air adaptation adds value. Check the shutter fires accurately at 1/1000, that the meter ring moves freely and that the prism shows no desilvering. Chrome bodies are common, black ones scarcer.
