Looking for a professional-grade 35mm SLR that still holds up today? The Nikon F100 is Nikon's celebrated late-90s workhorse - a rugged, weather-sealed film SLR built for serious photographers, paired here with the compact AF Nikkor 28mm f/2.8D wide-angle prime for expansive, characterful 35mm frames straight out of the box.

✔ Pro-grade AF SLR body – The F100 delivers reliably sharp, well-exposed shots in almost any situation thanks to its advanced exposure and focus systems: Nikon's Multi-CAM 1300 5-area autofocus with Dynamic AF for precise tracking, paired with 3D Matrix, centre-weighted, and spot metering options.

✔ Includes the AF Nikkor 28mm f/2.8D lens – A compact, lightweight wide-angle prime with a 74° angle of view on 35mm, sharp edge-to-edge and close focusing down to 0.25m. The D-type chip also feeds distance data to the F100's 3D Matrix metering.

✔ Full creative control – Shoot in Programmed Auto, Shutter-Priority, Aperture-Priority or full Manual mode, with shutter speeds from 30s to 1/8000s.

✔ Continuous shooting – Nikon specifies approximately 4.5 frames per second, or 5 frames per second with the optional MB-15 battery pack, under its stated test conditions. See the Nikon F100 instruction manual for conditions and compatible power configurations.

✔ Rugged, professional build – A weather-sealed alloy chassis trusted by photojournalists and enthusiasts throughout the film era, built to handle real-world use.

✔ Expandable F-mount system – Compatible with Nikon's huge range of F-mount lenses and accessories, so you can keep building out your kit over time.

The Nikon F100 with AF Nikkor 28mm f/2.8D is a fantastic entry point into professional-grade film photography — combining pro-level autofocus and metering with a compact wide-angle lens in one ready-to-shoot kit for street, travel and landscape shooters.

Battery requirement depends on the fitted holder. The standard MS-12 takes four AA alkaline-manganese or lithium batteries. Two CR123A or DL123A 3V lithium batteries require the optional MS-13 holder. Confirm which holder is included before buying batteries; if an accessory battery pack is fitted, follow its instructions. Batteries are sold separately.

Grade

Grade: We grade every camera carefully so you can shop with confidence, knowing exactly what you’ll receive. Each one is thoroughly tested to ensure it works as intended, and our grading scale helps you understand the overall condition and any minor imperfections that distinguish it from a like-new example.

Grade 10 – Near Perfect: Near-perfect, minimal to no wear, flawless functions, crystal-clear lens.
Grade 9 – Excellent: Lightly used, faint scuffs, fully functional, clean lens.
Grade 8 – Great: Normal signs of use, minor surface marks, fully functional.
Grade 7 – Good: Well-loved with visible wear or small quirks, but everything works as it should.
Grade 6 – Fair: Heavier wear and noticeable imperfections. It may also have minor functional quirks or imperfections, but it is fully functional and full of character.
