TextThe Nikkormat (or Nikomat as it was sold in Japan) was the entry-level camera to the Nikon F system. Unlike the Nikon F, the Nikkormat used the horizontal-travel Copal Square shutter, with the speed control mounted concentrically behind the lens and shutter speeds from 1 to 1/1000 second, plus B (bulb). It featured a built-in CDS light meter for ASA 12-1600 films; the meter was activated by the film advance lever.
