Nikon Nikkormat (1965)

The Nikkormat of 1965 (sold as Nikomat in Japan) was the tough, more affordable sibling of the legendary Nikon F. It used the same great Nikkor lenses and earned a reputation as a camera that simply never quit.

We know how much a Nikkormat can mean, because cameras like this one recorded our own childhoods too. Every piece starts with a real camera that our studio team disassembles by hand, cleans part by part, designs and assembles in our Los Angeles workshop. It is slow, careful work, and it finally lets you see the precision mechanics that hid inside the body for decades. This is how we bring it a second life.

A NOTE ON CHARACTER

Every piece is built from a real vintage camera, so light scratches or signs of age may show. We think they are part of its story, and they make each piece one of a kind.
