Bargain 35mm
2 of 2 found this helpful I bought the camera used and am very pleased with it. I usually use a Nikon digital, so I have a lot of Nikon lenses, but I needed a film camera too. I don't use film a great deal so a low end ( not built like a Mac truck ) Nikon seemed just the ticket. The Controls are similar to my other Nikons which is nice and the camera has been dependable. It is not built like the older semi-indestructible Nikons so I am careful to treat it gently. The shutter sounds loud and slow to my ear, but the exposures are spot on and there doesn't seem to be any problem with vibration on longer exposures. My only real complaint is the center weighted auto focus. If the center of the frame is not your center of attention you need to switch to manual focus. Fine for most shots, but awkward for high speed action shots. Overall a really good backup film camera for a dyed in the wool Nikon guy like me.
