Nikon F-501 SLR film camera with zoom lens

Nikon’s first ever autofocus SLR and winner of the 1986 Camera Of the Year award. Blends high technology with traditional exposure controls – an awesome combination.

The Nikon F-501 was Nikon's first popular autofocus SLR for 35mm film, launched in 1986. Nikon cameras at the time were aimed at the pro / advanced consumer market and this camera demonstrates superb build quality. 

It has a built-in motorised film drive (up to 2.5 shots per second), and with autofocus is excellent for sports and wildlife photography. 

Unlike more recent cameras, most controls are via buttons and dials on the body - much better and faster to use than menus on tiny LCD screens.
