I bought mine new, from a Vancouver camera store, on "closeout pricing"; IIRC, I paid $599 CAD for it, brand new. Funny now, beat up used ones from Japan cost $1,000 CAD or more to get.</p><p>And they're worth that, and then some.</p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/nikonfm3a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nikonfm3a</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/fm3a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fm3a</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/filmpphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>filmpphotography</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://spiffle.com/photography/nikon-fm3a-the-last-great-mechanical-film-slr/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">spiffle.com/photography/nikon-</span><span class="invisible">fm3a-the-last-great-mechanical-film-slr/</span></a></p>

CoffeeGeek<p>I like this camera so much, I've been on the hunt for the rare all black version. </p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/nikon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nikon</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/nikonfm3a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nikonfm3a</span></a></p>

And IMO, the greatest mechanical 35mm camera ever made. Developed at the sunset of the film 35mm SLR. Tested in Antartica. </p><p>IMO, the Leica M6 doesn't even deserve to be in the same room as this camera (though Leica's optics do).</p><p>The Nikon FM3a.
