    Look at an FM2 or an FM2N. Used prices are very low and they're great cameras. They're all manual though - otherwise an N90S is a great deal on a used AF.

    Actually x 1.5. A 50mm has the angle of view of a 75mm. Nice early present - especially that 24 f2! Have fun...

    If you're looking at ebay, the FM2 never actually said FM2n - at least on the front of it. If the serial # starts with "N" (on the back, right below the film wind lever), than it's an FM2n. You will find some called FM2's that are actually FM2n's and might save a few bucks.

    Yes, it was me who had the bathroom from - well, you know where... It's about 95% done. I should shoot it and post - good assignment. So how did it go? Pretty good now that we're at this point. Lots of battles to get to this point though!
