Hi all...I have a friend who has an old Nikon (FTN) and he's looking to buy a used lens for a trip...probably a zoom. I'm not sure how old an FTN is, but I thought I'd ask around to see if anyone has some ideas where he could go in the Denver area to shop for one.
Thanks.

The Camera Trader just off Hampden just west of Sante Fe.

Ditto the Camera Trader recommendation.
If I remember correctly, the FTn succeeded the Tn and was introduced in about 1968. Serial numbers began with 69*****. The F2 succeeded the FTn in the early 70's (my F2 was made in '72). The first two numbers on the camera body's serial number seem to be within one year of the year of manufacture. They are great cameras!
