Modern Classic SLRs Series
Nikon F -Gold Bodied Edition with Non-Ai 50mm f/2.0 Gold

 

Nikon F Gold Limited EDition
I used to have this golden finish Nikon F in my collection for about 10 years. I don't like to make up story as I have no reference if this was an actual Limited Edition of the Nikon F officially or "something" else. I DON'T LIKE to mislead others and thus for quite a long time I have not put it in the Nikon F site. Anyway, lately since someone has complained that I have not updated the Nikon site (actually I did, after the Nikon F4 and Nikon F5 project, I have just decided to skip the Nikon resources development to divert to the Canon EOS-1N; EOS-1N RS as well as the Canon EF lens Resources - simply because I think when the AF-Nikkor resources project begin, I need working resources of a major comparing competitor such as Canon materials to make the site better.

Golden Nikon Nikkkor 50mm f/2.0 standard lens Matching 50mm f/2 Gold Nikkkor lense
Well, whatever the reasons, here is some images that I took for some of you to share with this collection of mine. It comes with a companion NIKKOR-H Auto 1:2 f=50mm Standard lens which also comes in matching golden outfit.

What is holding me back to think this is an Limited Edition Nikon F ? Well, simple - until I can find other similar models surfaced - I will still have reservation because this was not mentioned in any official literature and I hope this is not an engineered model by some rich and famous Nikon fan.. haha. Whatever it is - if it is not price of Nikon, the work presents an excellent craftmanship.

I have used the lens as illustration for the Nikon F5 section when relates the issue of lens compatibility | CLICK HERE |. At the moment, this setup is used as display in my living room - along with other collectibles such as the Nikon F3H High Speed Motor Drive Cameras; Nikon F3/T LE; Nikon F2T; NIKON SP, FM2/T and other mix of brands such as Canon New F1 LA '84; Pentax LX Y2K; LINHOLF 617; LEICA M4P BLACK ENAMEL; COLOMBO + SOME YEAR OF THE XXX ETC..hehe..
