Nikon FM Chrome Early Version Camera Body -New Seals, Meter ~2 Stops Off-

This is one of my all time favorite cameras. My first serious camera was an FM (not this one) and I took some of my favorite photos with it. It also survived several uncontrolled trips down ice covered stairs during Ithaca winters (Cornell University: clear the snow before it freezes!)

For those who do not know these cameras they are the zenith of classic manual focus design. They are surprisingly small, feel great in your hand and have a huge viewfinder, larger than the later HP designs (it is true!) and drastically larger than current digital cameras.

These cameras are perfect for people who know how to use a camera and prefer to set the controls directly rather than relying on automatic settings and menus and they are also the best way to learn photography.

This camera looks good and works well except that the meter is ~2 stops off. Compensate on the ASA dial or use an external meter and get a deal on a nice camera! The shutter is accurate at all speeds. We have replaced the light seals, a $75 value.

Batteries and a body cap are included.
