Just loaded film in my Nikkormat FTN

She's old, she's heavy but once a year I give her spin, every year since 1974.
Still works like a top and with the three extra batteries I own, I'm good for the next 150 years.😀

I love the sound of the Nikkormat shutters -- very distinctive! (And you could fire that shutter every day for the next 150 years and it wouldn't wear out.)

I've still got my Nikkormat FTN---my first camera.

Actually I don't need any other camera.

Unfortunately, I want a lot of others.

Happy New Year!

Bought my black Nikkormat in 1972. Plenty of brassing, a few dings, but has never been serviced and still works like a charm. Use it all the time -- Although I have to say I prefer my lighter, smaller RFs. Latest is a Zorki 4, which is a hoot. An early model in perfect condition - $40 with an Industar 50 3.5. Amazing.

@ kshapero...

...''she's old, she's heavy but once a year I give her a spin..''..

Sounds like my wife !

Seriously though, anyone still using old Nikkormats/Nikons deserves to live for the next 150 years.
I'm sure my Nikon Fs hope I live that long...

I bought an FTN a few years back and liked it so well that I bought an FT2 to keep it company. Great cameras.
