Description

The Nikon F4S is one of the most significant professional 35mm SLR cameras ever produced. Introduced in 1988, it was Nikon's first flagship professional autofocus SLR, combining the rugged reliability of the F-series with advanced autofocus, sophisticated exposure automation, and high-speed motorized film advance. Designed by renowned industrial designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, the F4S is recognized for its distinctive ergonomic styling and exceptionally durable construction.

Its electronically controlled shutter offers speeds from 30 seconds to 1/8000 second, while Nikon's advanced metering system provides Matrix, Center-Weighted, and Spot Metering for accurate exposure in a wide variety of lighting conditions. The integrated MB-21 battery pack delivers continuous shooting at up to 5.7 frames per second, making the F4S a dependable choice for sports, wildlife, documentary, and press photography.

The included Nikon AF NIKKOR 35-70mm f/2.8D is a professional constant-aperture standard zoom that became a favorite among photojournalists and event photographers. Covering the classic 35–70mm focal range, it delivers excellent sharpness, high micro-contrast, natural color rendition, smooth bokeh, and well-controlled chromatic aberration. A dedicated Macro Mode allows close focusing down to 0.38 meters, increasing its versatility for detail and close-up photography.

Also included is the Nikon MF-23 Multi-Control Back, an advanced accessory that expands the F4S with professional timing and data-recording capabilities. It provides interval shooting, long-exposure timing, delayed shutter release, date and time imprinting, and exposure data functions, making it particularly valuable for scientific photography, time-lapse work, and meticulous film documentation.

The Nikon F4S, paired with the AF NIKKOR 35-70mm f/2.8D and MF-23 Multi-Control Back, represents a complete professional film photography system. Combining exceptional mechanical durability, advanced electronic features, and professional-grade optics, this kit remains highly regarded by collectors and photographers who appreciate one of Nikon's most influential flagship SLR cameras.
