Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / July 2007Nikon SP Rangefinder
eBay: http://301url.com/SP_Rangefinder > eBay: http://301url.com/SP_Rangefinder The serial number indicates that this camera was sold during the first year of SP production. It thus probably has a cloth shutter. The later cameras with metal shutters command and deserve higher prices. The lens marking means: S = 7 elements (just like all 50mm f1.4 Nikkor lenses) red c = coated (just like all Nikkor lenses) If the shutter ever needs to be repaired, there is a high potential for the camera to be a paperweight.

Not quite true. The guy at cameraquest won't. > Even metal curtains can be replaced. The entire shutter gets replaced. The shutter in the SP is the same as the one in the F. So, replacement shutters are quite plentiful. By the way, the last time I looked at cameraquest, he wan't $375 to replace the metallic shutters on either the SP or the S3. Careful people can insure that their shutters work well. The one in my S2 has no holes and needs no cleaning.
