Nikkor 50mm/1.4 s/n 5509780
Nikon FA Gold, Camera Gran Prix 1984, 24K Gold
Nikon was justifiably very proud of their FA, the first camera to use computerized multi-segment metering. I am fairly sure the Gold FA is only the second Gold Nikon, after the Gold FM. It was the first Gold Nikon offered for sale to the public, commemorating winning the European camera of the Year award for 1984. Still, I am not sure how that award relates to the "Camera Gran Prix 84." Production estimated at 2000. The 20 gold plated parts are 24K gold plated. The body covering is red lizard skin. The easily scratched gold finish was protected with a specially provided cleaning cloth, complete with special Nikon gold cleaners.
