Not Bad, NEW Nikon S3 2000 Chrome Body $1222

Got back from one of those wonderful Kyoto Japanese dinners with my wife and mother-in-law last night to find that I've been getting so much attention, I'm blushing - maybe its the sake 🙂

Yes, I've decided to sell the S3 with the idea these days I'm more than happy with a single Nikon RF and a lens or two along. So the new SP is going to be my Nikon along with the 35/50 lens system for now. Lucky me 😀

And to afford this extra 'something different' system along beside my usual Leicas I've bought and now sold a few of these new Nikons, but I think this is it as in the end its been more trouble than I need at this time (slow sales, change of minds, and other 'problems'). So sorry I didn't list it here first, but it is available to RFF readers too of course, I just wanted to reach a larger buyers base and hopefully someone that really wants it enough for a quick sale. If I have to think too long I may just end up keeping it!

Last I looked there were 30+ people watching the S3, so maybe someone will hit the 'buy it now' in time. We'll see what happens. And to answer the couple questions I see here... Yes, I started at $1,200 but thought about it and like 2s so increased the price to $1,222, since no one has made up their mind about it I get to change mine too is the way I see it. I picked this camera up at the Osaka Camera Show a few months back. It was on display so I didn't buy it 'in the box', and yes I did fire the shutter off to check it out when I got it thinking I would keep it, it works and sounds fine. I also took the lens off and on a couple times so that may effect your desire to have this camera.

Any question let me know.

Hi All,

Someone decided to get the S3 after all - SOLD this afternoon (Japan time). I was out today with the SP loaded with HP5 around Kyoto station, one happy camper, but I'm already thinking 'what if I really do like these Nikon RFs a lot?' and may have to keep an eye out for another S3... 🙂
 
What's that, a body without lens??

If you want a Nikon RF body, buy a classic S2 for 400 USD like me. You can have the old logo, plus it's really a classic and not just a remake. Take asite 200 USD for a shuter overhaul for continous use the next 50 years.

If you want a classic RF body with 3 framelines 35-50-100 buy a Canon P, 300 USD. Probably will keep work the next 50 years without a shutter overhaul. Lenses a lot cheaper at the same quality, and more available too.

I cannot understand that. Maybe I would buy the lens for 700 USD, but not the body for 1200.... 😎
 
some people like the idea of using a new Nikon rf camera and are willing to pay well for the privilege.

a Canon is not a Nikon and vice versa,
although I understand what you are saying.
the rangefinder camera ride is not logic based at most times.
