The Nikkormat EL is one of Nikon’s beautifully engineered 1970s SLRs — reliable, solid, and built with the same mechanical DNA as the professional F-series. It introduced aperture-priority auto exposure to Nikon photographers and quickly became a favourite among advanced amateurs and working shooters who wanted Nikon quality in a simpler, more compact body.
This example comes with the classic Nikkor 50mm f/1.8, a crisp, beautifully rendering prime lens perfect for portraits, travel and everyday shooting.

A brilliant choice for anyone wanting an affordable, reliable, classic Nikon film experience.
