My First Nikon

[DougS]

After lusting after but not being able to afford one at the time(1980), I just picked up an absolutely immaculate Nikon FM for $100 with a 50 mm 1.8 lens, telephoto lens, filters, Vivitar flash, etc. I am blown away by the feel and quality of the camera. I am going to load her up and take her for a test spin tomorrow. With all the digital stuff out there now, really nice quality film cameras are going at bargain prices. Color me tickled pink! 😛

Better late than never as they say. Congrats and enjoy, the FM is a great little camera.
I bought my first Nikon (Nikkormat) in 73 and have never left the brand.
