Ebay Watch: A Gold Nikon, a Blue Hasselblad and More
The wildest photography gear up for auction this week.

Gold Plated Nikon FA: $10,999.00 Ebay seller alnasher76's limited-edition, gold Nikon FA camera is definitely one of flashiest retro cameras we have seen in a while. Not only are the top and bottom of the camera gold-plated, but it is also wrapped in "lizard skin". Even the 50mm f/1.4 lens has a thin band of gold around the barrel. The packaging is almost as elaborate, consisting of a box made from paulownia wood, sporting a festive green bow. For a cool $10,999.00 this 1984 Japan-only beauty could be yours!.



There are reportedly only 700 or so of these Golden Blue Hasselblads floating around, but they seem to pop up on eBay more frequently than we’d expect. Now 20 years-old, the 24-karat gold trim is sure to make this body draw even more attention on the street than a typical Hasselblad body. While it would make a great display piece in its display box, it would be a shame not to run any film through it.
