$69,000 Nikon F3 HP NASA on eBay

"Nikon F3 HP NASA Camera & 55mm F2 UV Nikkor F3hp RARE
The Most Significant Nikon Ever with the Rarest Lens"

http://cgi.ebay.com/Nikon-F3-HP-NASA-Ca ... 35a564778b

I guess calling it "The Most Significant Nikon Ever" is exaggerating a little, but there's no doubt many collectors would like to get their hands on this one. But $69,000? I don't think so (but I've been wrong before). Will be an interesting auction to follow. 5 days left.

Same seller is also offering a NASA F4 ($3000) and a F5 ($3995).

For more info on the F4, take a look at this NikonWeb.com article: http://www.nikonweb.com/nasaf4/

Yes, the F4 is now sold. Just for the record, I now realize that it was a regular F4 film body, NOT the custom made ESC body mentioned in the NikonWeb article.

The first body has been relisted (new item no. 230412108267) and then there's a second NASA F3 from the same seller: item 300377513047. At $55,000 it's a little cheaper than the first one.
