Rare Olive Green Nikon Nikonos V Outfit with 35mm f/2.5 W-Nikkor Lens (SN# 2106870)

Camera Model: Olive Green Nikon Nikonos V Outfit with 35mm f/2.5 W-Nikkor Lens Serial: # 2106870 Description: The Nikon Nikonos V is legendary for being the world’s most rugged, fully amphibious 35mm film camera system. While the standard bright orange variant is highly common, this Olive Green edition provides a beautifully subtle, military-chic aesthetic that has made it a cult favorite among modern street, travel, and adventure photographers. What makes this particular outfit exceptionally rare is its investment-grade provenance. Most Nikonos systems found today have been heavily exposed to saltwater, resulting in deteriorated rubber, heavy corrosion, or missing documentation. This kit appears to have spent the vast majority of its life carefully stored in its original packaging. It is a complete time capsule from the late 1980s film era—offering a pristine camera body, a matching serialized all-weather prime lens, original paper manuals, and a completely unhatched factory O-ring care kit. Whether you are looking for a flawless addition to a Nikon collection or a bombproof, weather-sealed film camera for rugged field use, this complete kit is as good as it gets. Kit Overview & Serial Log Component / Accessory Spec / Detail Serial Number Condition Nikonos V Body Olive Green Armor 2106870 Mint (Fully Tested) W-Nikkor Lens 35mm f/2.5 Amphibious 463047 Mint (Optics Clear, No Fungus) Original Outer Box Matching Maker’s Retail Box Included Excellent Structural Shape Documentation Paper Manual & Warranty Card Included Crisp, No Creasing O-Ring Care Kit Factory Seals & O-Ring Grease Included Unused / Sealed Internal Polystyrene Molded Safety Tray Included Fair (Has One Broken Chunk) Body Caps & Accs Front Cap, Base Cover, Neck Strap Included OEM Factory Original Technical Condition Report Camera Body (#2106870): The iconic green rubberized outer armor is perfectly intact, firm to the touch, and completely free of the typical chalky oxidation or sticky degradation common to heavily dived units. The film advance is smooth, the mechanical/electronic shutter speeds click perfectly, and the internal light meter remains highly responsive. W-Nikkor 35mm Lens (#463047): The barrel is immaculate. The mechanical control knobs turn smoothly to actuate both focus and aperture blades cleanly. The glass elements are free of scratches, haze, or internal separation. Note: The 35mm f/2.5 is natively corrected for stunningly sharp performance on both land (all-weather) and underwater. Seals & O-Rings: Pressure seals are visually clean. The kit includes the original factory backup O-rings, O-ring advice slips, and the factory-branded lubricant grease canister. (Standard disclaimer: While visually perfect, if you plan to dive to maximum depths, seals should always be pressure-tested first). Packaging & Inserts: The outer cardboard retail box is structurally sound with crisp graphics and minimal shelf wear. The internal molded polystyrene tray is present and holds the camera securely, though it has one broken-off chunk (purely cosmetic, does not affect the safety or storage of the camera unit). Key Features for Collectors True Amphibious Versatility: Unlike ultra-wide underwater lenses (such as the 20mm or 28mm) which blur severely when exposed to air, this 35mm f/2.5 W-Nikkor acts as a rugged, razor-sharp everyday prime on dry land—making it the ultimate street, festival, and adverse-weather film camera. The Aesthetic Variant: The Olive Green Nikonos V is heavily favored by collectors and street photographers over the standard bright orange version, providing a subtle, tactical look. Investment Grade: Pristine, matching-serial examples with original factory boxes, manuals, and unused maintenance accessories are exceptionally rare and continue to appreciate among legacy analog enthusiasts.
