Nikon FTN Black  s/n 3757490

Nikkor 50mm/2.0  s/n 3511476

 

In 1967 Nikon updated the FT with the FTN, which improved the metering with center-weighting and made it a bit easier to tell the camera what the lens's smallest and largest apertures were. (After mounting the lens, you twisted the aperture ring to its extremes; the FT used a more awkward method.)

You can easily distinguish an FTN by the N that appears on the top:

The FTN was hugely successful: Over a million were sold in nine years before it was replaced by the FT2. The Nikkormat name was retired in 1977; after that all the Nikons were just called Nikon.
