Good luck to the seller...
Last weekend I bought an FM2 for 100 euros. Ok, no lenses were thrown into the bargain and it is extremely battered, but it WORKS.
That having said, I do believe it is the best camera ever made, period.

A camera with six new Nikkor lenses.
"The system consists of: 1/ea Nikon FM2 with the beehive titanium shutter,1/ea 20mm f4.0 lens,1/ea35mm f2.0, 1/ea 50mm f1.4,1/ea 85mm f2.0, 1/ea 105mmf2.8,and 1/ea 135mm f2.8"
That's not a bad price. The 105/2.8 is a Micro-Nikkor, but I would make sure it is not a typo and he meant a 105/2.5.

Definitely a Micro-Nikkor. It's the lens in the top right. This lens alone is currently selling new for around $700. The whole kit is actually pretty good value.

I see the Micro Nikkor in the Top Right with the Hood in the storage position. Few people will pick that up from the Auction description...
Those are great lenses. The FM-2 has the honey-comb Titanium Shutter blades which were the best-ever. My FE-2 has that type. It is sought after.

I've seen really mint samples of the Ai-S 85mm f2 (bottom right) sell for as much as $350. One with the box would probably go even higher. Especially if the s/n starts with 3***** making it a later version.

If that were a BIN, I'd be waiting for postman - it will go for a lot more than that price in the end....

agree, my fm2n is the best SLR I have ever used though I have a new F2A coming. We will see how it works out😛

I am not suprised. It is the legendary lens if not one of the best.
i had one long time ago but sold it for cheap ....

fbf, I owned two F2AS's once. They were my primary cameras, but they were sooo heavy when loaded into a bag with all my lenses and accessories. I wish I had just one of them now. If yours is in good shape, you'll love it. I love my FM2n/50f1.2 combo right now.

I had fm2n and a bunch of Ai lenses for two years before getting into Leica M. I loved it. It was the perfect camera for me. I sold the whole set to free some money for leica M. I have to say I regret selling them though i am quite satisfied with my current Leica M.
I want to give the F2a a try and i might end up getting a fm2n later ....
