Description
A special limited edition of Nikon FA Gold cameras was offered to commemorate the Nikon FA’s selection as winner of the camera industry’s most coveted award, the “Camera Grand Prix ’84.”
The Nikon FA Gold camera features pure 24K gold plating to an average depth of 5µm on most external metallic surfaces, complemented by extensive use of lizard leather.
The twenty parts of the FA body coated with pure gold include the top cover (with screws), accessory shoe, baseplate (with screws), film rewind crank, mounting flange, shutter release button, lens release button, battery chamber lid and cover for the motor drive electrical contacts, etc.
The mounting ring of the attached Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 Gold lens is also plated. Note that the lens has no meter coupling shoe.
Lizard leather is used for facing of the handgrip and all parts covered by leatherette on the regular Nikon FA.
A “Camera Grand Prix 84” plate is mounted on the rear of the body. “Nikon” in gold-coloured lettering also appears on the front lens cap. All other features and specifications are the same as those of the regular Nikon FA, except for the position of the serial number.
Comes with:
- Nikon FA Gold booklet
- Instruction manual
- Nikon System brochure
- Technical booklet for 50mm f/1.4 lens and warranty cards
Supplied in a wooden red velvet lined display box, red velveteen lens case, red soft mat, maker’s box.

Please note that the following important points when you see our grading description. When applied to lenses it means that the optics are in perfect condition. What we are describing is the cosmetic condition of the lens barrel. When it applies to cameras, motor drives, speedlights etc. the understanding is that the item is in perfect working order and the description would mean the exterior appearance. In other words we are judging cosmetic appearance.
