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 is in good condition with moderate wear and a cool amount of brassing on the edges. The shutter and meter are accurate and everything works perfectly. The light seals are in good condition. There is a small dent on top of the prism and another below the advance lever and rewind knob but they are minor and only cosmetic, they do not impact the function of the camera.
The camera comes with a Hanimex 28mm f2.8 prime lens. The lens has clean scratch-free glass and smooth mechanical operation.
The lens cap and battery are included.
