Nikon Nikkormat FTn & Nikkors

[William Lewis]

I’ve been working on the meter on my early 70’s black paint Nikkormat FTn. After the latest round of work I took it out with a roll of Ilford XP2 Super loaded to test it. Still needs a little more work but it’s getting there. I used my 50/1.4 & 105/2.5.

The meter on mine failed many decades ago, but I'm assuming you're using some newer tech battery to power that.

I bought a MR-9 adapter that converts a bog standard lr-44 alkaline into what it wants. There's still crud inside the resistor though.
