Nikon F-501 with Nikkor AF 35-105mm

The Nikon F-501 (in the USA and Canada N2020 ) is a classic analog SLR camera from the manufacturer Nikon introduced in August 1986 . Outwardly, the F-501 is similar to the Nikon F-301 . It is - after the special F3AF , in which motorized autofocus lenses were used - the first Nikon SLR camera with an elevator and autofocus motor integrated in the housing on the mass market and aimed at the amateur photographer.

In addition to autofocus, in contrast to the F-301, the camera also has the option of changing the focusing screen, and DX-coded film is scanned with an extended sensitivity of ISO 25/15 ° to 5000/38 °. The motor transports the film in series mode with up to 2.5 frames per second. A manual transport crank is used to rewind.

The camera was voted “Camera of the Year 1986 Europe” by specialist journalists from nine countries.
