Budget-friendly, entry-level 35mm autofocus SLR film camera introduced by Nikon in 1998 and discontinued in 2001. It bridges the gap between point-and-shoot simplicity and advanced SLR control, featuring standard PASM exposure modes, a built-in pop-up flash, and motorized film handling. The lens is a budget-friendly, vintage autofocus zoom lens produced by Sigma in Japan for film and digital SLR cameras. The Kalimar AFZ is a vintage shoe-mount electronic flash featuring an infrared auto-focus assist beam, dedicated Through-The-Lens (TTL) metering, and thyristor circuitry designed for film SLR cameras from the 1980s and 1990s. Has dual-flash capability and articulating head for bounce flash. This unit is dedicated only for Nikon autofocus film bodies. Additional technical details appear near the bottom of the ad.

I've decided to finally get rid of most of my old collection of film cameras and various accessories. I bought this body probably 15 years ago and have never actually put a roll of film through it. Never used the flash either. I had too much equipment and too little time. I have used the lens on another camera. The camera/lens/flash combo seems to work fine. By "fine" I mean the shutter, the film advance motor, auto-focus and flash (both built-in and Kalimar) work and the exposure system is appropriately responsive to variations of light. Of course, just because the shutter and metering systems respond to changing light doesn't mean the accuracy of those systems are up to factory spec. I would be surprised if that were true for any camera more than a few years old. But minor deviations -- especially with print film -- might not be noticeable or can be compensated for through the Exposure Compensation feature. It has many features so I haven't tested beyond the basic functions. One basic function I can't test without film is the actual film advance mechanism, but the advance motor actuates every time I fire the shutter so I'm fairly confident in that function. I have no intention of film testing. Not worth the trouble and expense to me. Batteries are included.

Physical condition is excellent. The viewfinder is clean. Lens and flash are in similarly good condition.

Check out the "Sold" listings on ebay for this camera -- most of which are not film-tested either -- and I think you'll agree that this asking price is pretty fair. Average "Sold" price (factoring in any shipping charge) for an N60/standard lens combo (no seperate flash) was $50.31 from the one page sampling I looked at.

Call or text me. If calling, please leave a voice message. Spam has trained me not to respond directly to unknown numbers. Please don't ask me if I take venmo or such. I'm an old geezer and don't cotton to these newfangled money exchange apps. Cash Only.

Thank you for your kind attention! Technical stuff:

Key Specifications and Performance: N60 --

• Exposure Modes: Program (P), Aperture Priority (A), Shutter Priority (S), Manual (M), plus dedicated scene modes (Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night).

• Shutter Speeds: Electronically controlled vertical-travel metal focal plane shutter from 30 seconds to 1/2000 second (flash sync at 1/125 sec or 1/90 sec depending on specific specs/source).

• Metering: 3D Matrix metering system via a 6-segment sensor.

• Focusing: TTL phase-detection autofocus (basic 3-point/single-sensor setup) alongside manual focus operation.

• Lens Compatibility: Works well with Nikon AF and AF-D Nikkor lenses; does not autofocus with AF-S (silent wave motor) lenses and lacks full meter coupling with older manual AI-Nikkor lenses.

• Power Source: Powered by two CR123A lithium batteries.

• Film Handling: Motorized DX-code ISO sensing (25–5000), automatic film loading, advance (up to 1 fps), and automatic rewind at end-of-roll.

Lens --

• Lightweight, plastic-heavy barrel construction typical of late 1990s consumer third-party lenses.

• Compact form factor that pairs easily with older film bodies or entry-level digital SLRs.

• Manual zoom and focus rings, though autofocus is driven by the camera body's internal motor on compatible mounts.

• Offers a flexible everyday walk-around focal range spanning wide-angle (28mm) to short telephoto/portrait (80mm).

Flash --

• Guide Number: 100 (at ISO 100)

• Automatic Range: 4 feet to 92 feet

• AF Illumination Range: Up to 30 feet

• Color Temperature: Daylight 5600K

• Recycling Time: 0.5 to 10 seconds (using alkaline batteries)

• Flash Duration: 1/1,000 to 1/15,000 of a second

• Power Source: 4 AA batteries

• Infrared AF Assist: Features a front-facing window that projects an infrared beam to lock focus in dark or low-light situations.

• Dedicated TTL Operation: Communicates directly with compatible camera hot shoes via dedicated contact pins to auto-control exposure.

• Thyristor Circuitry: Saves battery power and speeds up recycling times by quenching the flash tube output early during close-up or well-lit automated shots.

• Bounce/Zoom Capabilities: Many AFZ variants include articulating heads to bounce light off ceilings or walls for softer illumination.
