Hi all.
I'm a newbie here and have come to learn about my camera, which I'm considering selling. I got it many years ago...it was my first...and now I feel silly not remembering the model. I guess my memory is going.
I've got an old Nikon Rangefinder and three lenses but don't know the model/type (S2 ?). It doesn't say on the body (just says Nikon and Nippon Kogaku, Tokyo). Is there a site where I can type in the serial numbers to find out?
Body - black/chrome, serial no. 6194821
Lens #1 - W-Nikkor.C 1:2.5 f=3.5cm No. 260490
Lens #2 - Nikkor-S.C 1:1.4 f=5cm No. 395047
Lens #3 - Nikkor-Q 1:3.5 f=13.5cm No. 274622
The second and third lenses come with the original leather lens cases, as does the small removeable rangefinder lens.
What is the best way to determine its value? Take it to a good camera store for an appraisal? Is it worth it to have it professionally cleaned before selling it?
Sorry no pictures for now. My DIGITAL camera is not working at the moment.
There's something to be said for these older manual models that were built to last and weren't so fussy!
Thanks! 🙂
