About this camera.
One of the most respected professional 35mm SLRs ever made — the Nikon F4 with the standard DP-20 multi-meter viewfinder. Released in 1988 as Nikon's first professional autofocus body, the F4 is a bridge between the manual-focus F-series classics and the modern AF era — magnesium-alloy build, every shooting mode you could want, and full compatibility with virtually every Nikkor F-mount lens ever made.

Condition

- Functional: The LCD display on the body is non-working, and the LCD display in the prism is dim as shown.

All other functions are working absolutely perfectly — shutter accurate at all speeds, autofocus, all exposure modes, and the meter.

In short
The LCD quirks are honestly disclosed up front — for anyone comfortable shooting the F4 the old-school way using the bright in-finder readouts (which is how most pros used it anyway), this is a fully working pro-grade body at a meaningfully reduced price. The F4 remains one of the great photographic tools of the late film era.
