Nikon Nikkorex F
The Nikkorex F is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera produced by Nikon in the early 1960s. It was positioned as a more affordable SLR alongside the professional Nikon F, sharing the F-mount so it could accept Nikkor lenses.
Auction hammer prices for the Nikkorex F vary widely depending on condition and provenance, with recorded UK saleroom results spanning roughly £200 to £1,100. With only a small number of verified hammer results on file, today's market value is best read as condition-led: clean, working bodies sell for noticeably more than well-used examples, and any sale figure should be treated as a wholesale level rather than a retail price.
