Nikon F50

Nikon F50 35mm SLR Body | Intuitive Design Meets Reliable Nikon Performance

The Nikon F50 (known as the N50 in North America) was introduced as a versatile and approachable entry into the world of autofocus SLR photography. Featuring a unique interface with "Simple" and "Advanced" modes, it was designed to grow with the photographer—offering point-and-shoot ease for beginners and full manual control for enthusiasts. This specific unit, serial number 2219017, features a robust polycarbonate body and the legendary Nikon F-mount, making it compatible with a vast library of Nikkor AF and AF-D lenses. With its 6-segment matrix metering and built-in flash, the F50 remains a reliable and affordable choice for those looking to experience the characteristic look of 35mm film with modern convenience.

Key Features

• Simple & Advanced Operating Modes: A dedicated interface allows you to toggle between icon-based "Vari-Program" modes for ease of use or PSAM modes for full creative control.

• 6-Segment Matrix Metering: Inherited from Nikon's higher-end models, providing accurate exposures even in challenging lighting conditions.

• Integrated TTL Flash: Features a built-in pop-up flash with Red-Eye Reduction, perfect for indoor social gatherings and fill-light outdoors.

• Broad Shutter Speed Range: Offers speeds from 30 seconds for long exposures up to 1/2000s to freeze fast-moving action.

• Automatic Film Handling: Enjoy stress-free shooting with automatic film loading, DX-code ISO sensing, and motorized film advance and rewind.

Condition Report

• Body: Good condition. The exterior shows minor signs of use typical of a 1990s SLR, with no cracks or significant scratches. The grip remains firm and the battery compartment is clean.

• Sensor / Optics: The viewfinder is bright and clear with functional LCD exposure information. The mirror and internal film chamber are clean, and the light seals are in good, light-tight condition.

• Mechanics / Electronics: Fully tested and operational. The autofocus is responsive, the shutter fires accurately at all speeds, and the built-in flash recycles quickly.

• Shutter Count: Not applicable (Analog film camera).

"The F50 is a fantastic entry point for anyone curious about film. It feels substantial in the hand and takes the guesswork out of exposure while still letting you take the wheel when you're ready. It’s the perfect bridge between the analog past and the digital future."
