Nikon SP EP Edition with 50/1.4 lens. $1250
Nicknamed the "beauty queen" by a few of my local camera friends this is a really nice SP. Amazingly I am only the second owner of this camera, having bought it from an older gentleman who got it when he was in the service. Aesthetics are great for a 50+ year old camera, only a couple minor nicks in the finish. Camera works beautifully at all speeds, rangefinder is good. Colors in frame lines have faded in the VF but that's typical of nearly all SPs. This one has the cloth shutter which is in excellent shape.
Lens is beautiful, mint- condition. Superb example of a classic lens. Glass clean and clear with aperture blades that click smartly into place.
**Please excuse the surface dust on the lens. I didn't notice it when shooting these shots, it's now gone.
