[Nikon] S4 | Film Cameras | 1958
The Nikon S4 is a rangefinder camera produced by Nikon. It is very similar to the Nikon S3 but was priced slightly lower. This is because it used a cloth shutter curtain instead of titanium foil curtains, and it lacked the self-timer and motor drive lug found on the S3. Additionally, the viewfinder frame-line for 35mm lenses was omitted. In all other respects, the two cameras are identical.
The camera had a short production run from 1958 to 1960, with fewer than 6,000 units made, making it rarer than other Nikon rangefinder cameras, but not as rare as the Nikon 1 or Nikon M models. The Nikon S4 was not exported to the United States.
