The pinnacle of Nikon rangefinder cameras, the Nikon SP, in its original black paint. While showing signs of use, it has a truly great character. The serial number is in the 6.21 million range. It features a titanium curtain shutter, and the distance scale is in feet.
The right-side viewfinder has parallax compensation and incorporates frames for 50mm, 85mm, 105mm, and 135mm lenses, as well as the rangefinder image. The left-side auxiliary viewfinder accommodates 28mm and 35mm lenses.
The colorful bright-frame viewfinder, which is unique compared to Leica cameras, and the magnified viewfinder experience, where it feels as if one eye is integrated with the viewfinder, are both thrilling features.
This camera underwent an overhaul in 2023 and has been refreshed. It’s a model meant to be used and enjoyed extensively.
It surely had a great deal of use in the past, as evidenced by some paint wear on various parts. Additionally, there are minor dings near the distance adjustment dial, rewind crank, and corners of the bottom cover.
The camera underwent an overhaul in 2023 and is functioning smoothly, with the viewfinder’s clarity remaining excellent. The contrast of the SP’s double image, which tends to fade over time, is still in good condition.
The black paint has a wonderful patina, giving this camera a strong presence. The strap is short, but the original black leather case is included. This camera would pair perfectly with a Strapateer strap.
