What a thrift! Nikon FE with a 50mm F1.8 in absolutely gorgeous condition! I've been wanting to rock some film for a while, but I've never had the chance to pick up an affordably priced SLR. Film has picked up a lot again in the past few years, so previously the Pentax K1000s, Canon AE-1s, and Nikon F3s sitting at 20-40 dollars are now well into the 100 plus range. When a co-worker said they noticed a "Nikon FE something or other that reminds me of the 80s" at the thrift shop, I had to make my way down. Low and behold, 20 dollars later, and I'm now the happy owner of a Nikon FE! It also came with the leather 2 part case and a Black's strap, but I'll probably just drop some Peak Design anchors on it.
The only issue with the thing was a stuck film advance lever, but 3 screws removed the bottom panel and a bit of fiddling left me with a fully functional camera. Even the batteries were still good! I've got 4 rolls of Tri-X 400 in the mail, and I can't wait to get out with this thing.
