The limited edition black Nikon SP 2005 is a reproduction of the original 1957 Nikon SP except for minor details.

This is the finest made manual camera that has been produced since the 60s. Its beautiful, its classic, and its a real picture maker in function and form. The classic fast 1.8/35mm lens is superb by any standard, sharp, super flare resistant with the new lens coatings, and are very well built. Both camera and lens are finished in beautiful black paint.

Serial Number SP 0001 to SP 2500

Production 2500

Officially Sold only in Japan, now sold out at the factory. Originally the SP 2005 was sold directly to the Japanese public, bypassing the Nikon dealer network thru a lottery system. When the lottery did produce a sell out, the remaining cameras were quickly sold out thru the home market Japanese Nikon dealer network. It is my understanding no SP 2005 were officially exported outside of Japan by Nikon.

The 35/1.8 is identical to the original except for multi-coating instead of single coating
Lens serial number matches camera body
Box a recreation of the original Nikon SP Box
Camera case, lens shade, lens cap, camera strap included
Instruction book only in Japanese
Japan Market Price 690,000 Yen

Nikon rocked the Nikon collector's world January 14th 2005 by announcing a new 2005 production of the fabled and Nikon's collector favorite BLACK SP with 35/1.8 !! To serious Nikon collectors, this is like winning the lottery! The factory sold out in May 2005. This probably means future appreciation and forlorn Nikon collector stories of the whopper that got away: "I can't believe I had a chance to buy a new Black Nikon SP, and didn't do it!" Nikon originally discontinued rangefinders in 1964. Five years later Nikon amazed collectors more as the ultimate film Nikon was once more introduced just as most other camera manufacturers were cutting back film cameras to concentrate on digital.

The 2005 35/1.8 Nikkor is identical to the super rare 1956 35/1.8 Nikkor except for modern multi-coating and the special four digit serial number. The original 35/1.8 Nikkor has a six digit serial number starting with 35. All except the first 100 or so have a chrome aperture ring with black f/stop lettering.
