Nikon Nikkormat
The workhorse. My third SLR was a Nikon Nikkormat, so was my fourth, fifth and sixth.
In fact I used Nikkormat cameras from when I bought the first one in 1973 to when I decided to go digital in 2002.
I was hooked on the Nikkormat the first time one of my friends from the Geelong Camera Club let me use his briefly. The view finder was much brighter than the SLR I was using at the time and the prints were sharper.
Over the next 29 years I wore out several bodies, replacing them when they couldn’t be repaired economically. I usually had two Nikkormat bodies in my camera bag, a black one for black and white film and a silver one loaded with colour.
Nikon made the Nikkormat FT from 1965 to 1967, then the FTn from 1967 to 1975. I had examples of both over the years.
I now have 6 large ring binders of negatives, all taken with a Nikon Nikkormat. My favourite camera of all time.
