The Basics: Understanding Nikon Vintage Camera Parts and Accessories

Ever since Louis Daguerre released the first commercially viable camera in 1839, people have enjoyed photography as a hobby and a profession. Some people developed a loyalty to Nikon after it released its first camera in 1948. Many enthusiasts can repair vintage cameras to use or sell.

What are some types of vintage film cameras?

Nikon has made many different types, including:

  • Single-lens reflex: These options use a mirror and prism system to allow photographers to see the exact image that is seen through the lens.
  • Rangefinder: These options require the photographer to line up two images on top of each other to capture a clear picture.
  • Twin-lens reflex: These options have two lenses with one connected to the viewfinder while the other lets light in to capture the image on the film.
  • Point-and-shoot cameras: These options are usually easier to operate because the unit focuses automatically.

A camera is made up of many different parts, including:
