Description

Perfect for:

Film shooters who love quirky, characterful vintage cameras
Travel, street & portrait photography with two simple focal lengths
Anyone chasing dreamy, soft-focus 1980s-style 35mm photos

Want a vintage camera with real personality? The Nikon TW2D is a dual-lens 35mm camera for shooting 35mm film and one of Nikon's most distinctive film cameras. Switch between a wide 35mm and a tighter 70mm view at the press of a button, with a built-in soft-focus effect and a date-imprinting date back. Released back in 1987, it's a fun, fuss-free way to enjoy Nikon's compact era.

✔ Two lenses, two perspectives – A sharp Nikon 35mm f/3.5 lens and a 70mm f/6.8 tele lens sit side by side in one slim body, so you can go from wide scenes to flattering portraits without carrying a second camera.

✔ Built-in soft-focus effect – Twist the ring on the lens barrel to add a dreamy, glowing haze to your shots - a charming 1980s look that's hard to get on any other 35mm camera.

✔ Date-imprinting date back – The "D" in TW2D stands for the built-in date back, which can stamp the date onto your photos for a nostalgic, snapshot-album feel.

✔ Motorised film handling & flash – Automatic film advance and rewind, a built-in flash (auto, on or off) and a self-timer make it easy to shoot day or night, solo or with friends.

✔ Pocketable travel companion – Marketed in 1987 as the world's thinnest camera of its kind, the TW2D weighs just 325g (without battery) and is compact enough to slip easily into a jacket pocket or travel bag.

The Nikon TW2D combines the charm of vintage film photography with the convenience of a fully automatic 35mm point-and-shoot camera. Its unique 35mm and 70mm lens settings provide flexibility for everyday snapshots, travel photography and portraits, while automatic focusing and exposure make capturing moments simple. An excellent choice for beginners and casual film shooters, the Nikon TW2D offers a distinctive way to enjoy the timeless look and feel of 35mm film.

Battery Requirement – This reusable film camera operates with 1x CR-P2 6V lithium battery (sold separately) plus 1x CR2025 for the date back (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.

Usability

Usability: The TW2D is a fully automatic point-and-shoot with a twist - literally. Load your film, choose between the 35mm wide lens and the 70mm tele lens with a press of the button, and let the camera handle focus, exposure, flash and motorised film advance. Twist the front ring of the lens barrel to engage the built-in soft-focus effect for dreamy, glowing highlights, and use the date back to stamp the date onto your photos.

Beginner Friendly?: Yes! With no manual settings, DX auto ISO and just two focal lengths to choose from, it keeps things simple so you can focus on composition and have fun shooting 35mm film.
