The Nikkormat FT2 (ASH2), paired with the Nikkor 35mm f/2.8 (JL85), has been inspected, repaired, cleaned, and tested by CPB Darkroom and is in good working condition. The camera functions mechanically as intended, with all buttons, dials, shutter speeds, and film transport mechanisms operating correctly. The built-in TTL center-weighted light meter has been tested and is functioning accurately, providing reliable exposure readings.
The battery compartment functions correctly; however, the battery door is slightly stiff and requires a little extra effort to open, typically needing a few additional turns compared to normal. This does not affect the operation of the camera once the battery is installed.

Cosmetically, the camera body is in good condition, showing minor visible scratches and signs of wear consistent with regular use. The lens body is in excellent condition, showing only minimal signs of use. These cosmetic marks do not affect the performance of the camera or lens. The images shown depict the exact camera and lens you will receive.
Introduced in the mid-1970s, the Nikkormat FT2 is one of Nikon's most respected fully mechanical 35mm SLRs, renowned for its rugged all-metal construction, precision engineering, and dependable operation. Its mechanical shutter operates independently of batteries, with the battery required only to power the built-in light meter. Paired with the compact Nikkor 35mm f/2.8, this kit provides a versatile wide-angle perspective particularly well suited to street photography, documentary work, landscapes, travel, environmental portraits, and everyday photography.
The 35mm focal length offers a wider field of view than a standard 50mm lens while retaining a natural perspective, making this a practical combination for photographers looking for a classic, fully manual Nikon film photography experience.
This camera uses standard 35mm (135) film, producing images in the 24 × 36 mm format.
Camera and lens kits sold by CPB Darkroom are inspected for shutter accuracy, metering response, film transport reliability, optical clarity, aperture operation, and overall mechanical functionality. Any cosmetic, optical, or functional notes are clearly described and reflected in the condition grade.
