Famous People/Celebrities & Their Nikons/Nikkors

[abergon]

Drats - I got all excited - for I thought that we had at long last  tracked down an image of the super ultra rare left hand version of the Nikon F!

Bloody photoshop!

Right or left handed, I'll try that body anytime

I'm not sure who the famous person in the background with the Nikon SP might be. Anyone?

I should have bought an SP back in the early '70s. They look pretty cool.

Well spotted Dave!
Any idea what the Nikkor is?

Ron,

I don't know Nikon rangefinders well and lenses even less. I must have spotted the SP in 1970, the year I bought my first real camera, a Nikkormat FTn. I remember there were many Nikon rangefinder camera under the glass in used departments. I liked the look of the SP then and now. I haven't a clue why I didn't buy one.

Most likely a Nikkor-S 5 cm f/1.4 with hood. Could of course be the more common (and less expensive) Nikkor 5 cm f/2, but the size of the thing leans towards the f/1.4. Plus, who would want to by the top-of-the-line camera and put inexpensive lenses on it? (well, has happened before and likely will do so also in the future).

Can't make-out what the Nikkor is.

[MFloyd]

Seems to be an 85mm f/2 with the HS-10 snap-on lens hood.

And the camera looks more like an FA.
