The FT series is identified by finding the model number around the serial number on the top plate (FT,FTN,FT2,FT3). The EL series is identified by the obvious EL, ELW or EL2 designation on the top of the prism,Although the EL2s are marked Nikon NOT Nikkormat. ~Perfect for a beginner through to professionals! There are two different series of Nikkormats. The closest I got to a Nikkormat FT3 was a few years ago. Next to the meter readout is both the camera’s serial number and a reminder of which model it is. The "N" may stand for "new." At any rate, it seems the manufacturers viewed this camera as not a new model but an update. The serial numbér is FT 3703908 Does anyone have an idea of what year this might have been manufactured Kind Regards, Joe nikonnl 323 nikonnl 323 20 T07:54 Hi, I think your Nikkormat is a FT-N, build in 1969. When it first went on sale, the Nikkormat FT came standard with a Nikkor 50mm f/2 lens for a price of 279.50, which when adjusted for inflation, compares to just under 2500 today. Here is a site with pictures of Nikkor lenses to help you identify your lens. If you have this lens pickup a 50/2.0 for normal work but keep this lens as it&146 s one of Nikon&146 s gems.
Nowhere on the body does the camera directly identify itself as an "FTN." The serial number begins with an "FT," probably continuous with the serial numbers of the FT, and there is a larger capital "N" nearby, adjacent to the external meter indicator. It should come with an 'M' tube that has another set of f/numbers in blue. Introduced in 1967, the FTN is built on substantially the same chassis as the FT but had centre-weighted metering instead of whole-frame average metering, a shutter-speed display in the viewfinder, a few other minor changes, and, critically, a simplified process for mounting the lens. Nikkormat FS A variant of the FT, but without a built-in exposure meter and no mirror lock up, this camera was simultaneously introduced with the FT. The Nikomat/Nikkormat FTN Nippon Kōgaku was a successful and lauded iteration of the Nikomat/Nikkormat FT series. The camera also comes with a camera strap and lens cap! Nikkormat N equipped with Nikkor-S Auto 50mm f.1.4 lens.
