I was out Yard saleing last week and found a Nikon FM2n with a mint case and 50mm E 1.8 lens.
The lady said she never used it except for one roll of film when she bought it , and instead used her husbands Canon camera.
Hmmmm….."Sweet" looking ! Mint condition......All the paperwork and literature....Hmmmm…..thinking....thinking.
I popped in a couple Batteries that I always carry and the meter is perfect !
I went home and looked it up on Ebay completed sales....Yikes ! they go for $200-350 for the all black one consistently.
Then I looked it up on Camerapedia/Wiki and fell in Love.
I went back and offered her $100 and she accepted !
Ive ran through 3 rolls of film and can say for certain that this IS my favorite film Camera of all time...….ever.
Never quite understood how I missed this for all these decades ?
I feel like I "stold" it but oh well.....she could have always said NO !
Really "stoked" over this and have been carrying it everywhere taking pics......lots of pics......lol
Ok....I know I have to post pics or it never happened ….Right ?…...give me a minute.
Sorry for the crappy pics as I was using my EM10ii that I have all screwed up for settings and pulling my hair out before doing a re-set for the 5th time.....Blasted Olympus !.
