Sitting around? Do you want to do film again?

If yes and no, I'd sell it.

Dunno. 10+ years ago I sold my Nikon FM2N and bought a Pentax KX.
Since then I have really enjoyed collecting and using Pentax film SLRs.

The FM2 is a very nice camera and a shame to get rid of unless you are certain you have no interest in shooting film again.

I dunno, the FE/FE2/FM2 bodies are some of my favorites. But if you're coming to Pentax, maybe trade that for a Pentax body from someone going the other way. If I'd gone to Nikon, I'd be shooting those for film, in all likelihood.

In Pentax there's some old-school bodies that'd be a fair trade, I think.

I have a FM2n that I'll probably sell one day (I'm not good at selling anything!) but I'll never sell my FE... bought new in 1982/3 ish with a combination of insurance claim on a Ricoh I broke and pocket money!

If you've no sentimental attachment, I'm inclinded to agree with the others, sell it!
