The Nikomat EL (JL47) has been inspected, repaired, and tested by CPB Darkroom and is in good working condition. The camera functions mechanically as intended, with all buttons, dials, controls, and other functions operating correctly. The shutter has been tested and is working.
The camera's built-in light meter is not working, so exposure should be determined using an external handheld light meter or a reliable light-metering app when shooting. This metering limitation has been taken into account in the camera's Good condition grade.
The viewfinder has a few visible stains, but these do not significantly interfere with composition or the manual focusing experience. These marks are limited to the viewing system and do not appear on the images recorded on film.
Cosmetically, the camera body is in excellent condition overall, showing minor wear and some dents consistent with its age and previous use. These cosmetic imperfections do not affect the camera's operation. The images shown depict the exact camera you will receive.
The Nikomat EL is a manual-focus 35mm SLR from Nikon's classic F-mount system. It combines traditional manual focusing and physical exposure controls with electronically controlled shutter operation, providing a hands-on shooting experience characteristic of Nikon's SLR cameras from this period.
The camera uses the Nikon F mount, providing access to a wide range of compatible Nikon and third-party manual-focus lenses. Compatibility and metering behaviour can vary depending on the specific lens version being used.
This camera uses standard 35mm (135) film, producing images in the 24 × 36 mm format.
SLR cameras sold by CPB Darkroom are inspected for shutter operation, film transport reliability, controls, viewfinder condition, metering where applicable, and overall mechanical functionality. Any cosmetic, optical, metering, or functional limitations are clearly described and reflected in the condition grade.
