Professional Camera Store's Recommendation

The Nikon Nikomat FT2 is a robust, fully mechanical 35mm SLR from Nikon's Nikomat series, the Japanese-market name for the cameras sold elsewhere as Nikkormat. Introduced in 1975, it refined the earlier FT models with a hot shoe and a meter designed for modern silver-oxide batteries. It is paired here with the multi-coated Nikkor-H.C Auto 50mm f/2.

The FT2 is built like a tank, with a strong metal body and a Copal Square vertical-travel metal shutter that runs from 1 second to 1/1000 sec plus Bulb. The shutter is mechanical, so the camera can operate without a battery; the battery powers only the match-needle light meter.

Handling is distinctive: the shutter speed ring surrounds the lens mount, and the match-needle meter is visible both in the viewfinder and on the top plate. Once you are familiar with it, this layout makes adjusting exposure quick and intuitive.

The Nikkor-H.C Auto 50mm f/2 is a well-regarded standard lens known for its sharpness and solid metal build. The C in its name indicates multi-coating, which improves contrast and flare resistance compared with earlier single-coated versions.

This outfit is excellent for street, travel, documentary, and everyday photography. It is also a superb camera for learning manual exposure, offering clear feedback and complete control.

The FT2 uses the Nikon F mount and meters with non-Ai lenses that have the meter coupling prong, as well as with Ai and Ai-S lenses fitted with a prong. The Nikkor-H.C 50mm f/2 can also be adapted to mirrorless systems with a Nikon F adapter.

Nikomat cameras are valued for their exceptional durability and classic Nikon quality, often at a more accessible price than the professional F-series bodies of the same era.

If you want a rugged, mechanical Nikon SLR outfit with a classic multi-coated 50mm lens, the Nikomat FT2 with Nikkor-H.C Auto 50mm f/2 is a dependable and rewarding choice.
