The details
At a glance: Nikon F301 + 35-70mm zoom - heritage 1985 Nikon manual-focus SLR kit with motor advance.
About this camera
The Nikon F-301 is a 1985 manual-focus 35mm SLR from Nikon - one of the first Nikons with motorised film advance built in. Bundled here with a Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.3 zoom lens. A bridge camera between the manual-focus era and the autofocus F-501/F-801 that followed.

A historically notable transitional-era Nikon - manual focus but with built-in motor winder, foreshadowing the autofocus F-501 that replaced it. Good-handling body with AI-S lens compatibility. Bundled with a zoom for immediate shooting.
Frequently asked questions
Does it autofocus?
No - the F-301 is manual focus only. The autofocus Nikon film line began with the F-501 (successor to the F-301).
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
