>>4281492My man, I can afford to shoot film and can actually turn a focus ring. Why sully good film lenses with the exacting quality standards of digital?
just buy an FM3a before they're $3000
>The Nikon FM3a incorporates every good feature of its forerunners, the FE, FE2, FM, FM2 and FM2n, and retains none of the bad. The FM3a is as if Nikon invited me to give them my wish list of everything I wanted included or deleted from every camera in this series over its 30-year history.>Unlike any other camera, the FM3a offers both the electronic automation of the FE and FE2, and also offers the complete, full-range mechanical, no-battery-required shutter of the FM, FM2 and FM2n!>-The best photographer known to manShit's $500. $500 for the best film camera ever made, the heirloom grade SLR, the best camera for the end of the world and its rebirth. THE camera for the man who has 10,000 shots worth of tri-x in his freezer and chems to match. THE camera for photography never dying, ever. People pay $500 for shitty knockoffs of leica lenses that are no better than a plastic nikkor z 40mm f2. Is it worth it? Yes.
The body is even 18% grey so if the meter somehow dies (unlikely), you can use a second meter pointed at the body and zone system it from there.
If Nikon needs to do anything, they need to ring the FM3a back into regular production and re-release a few F mount lenses.
