Film camera enthusiast and passionate film photographer. Occasionally, I need to reduce my collection and list bodies, lenses and accessories here. I only offer cameras I would buy myself...and I am picky!
Awesome manual focus SLR with aperture priority automation!
It's hard not love the F3 these days. When you consider that you can buy one for a few hundred dollars and own one of the best and last manual focus professional grade Nikon SLRs ever made--pick one up! Outside of the flash hot shoe which requires an F3 specific Speedlight or adapter, the F3 is a solid 10 on all fronts! Keep in mind that these vintage cameras will most likely need new foam seals, which you can install yourself or have a professional do for not much money at all. With aperture priority automation, the F3 is a great way to learn and then set it on manual when you get proficient. The F2 is collectable. The F3 is a great user camera. Get one!

Just the best darn camera straps ever!
I am a bit of a fanatic when it comes to camera straps. I've bought dozens of different brands trying to find just the right strap for the various vintage film cameras I use. I happened across the 1901 Eggleston quite by accident, ordered one and loved it! Soft, supple, strong, quality hardware. It's obvious that these straps were made by a photographer for photographers. And the price is great! Wonderful straps!

Super camera!
If you are considering getting back into 35mm film photography and want to do it in a 70s retro way, there's no better camera body than the Nikon F2. Often called the "Leica of Nikons," the F2 is the last of the hand assembled Nikons and the very last fully mechanical professional Nikon camera. A joy to look at, fabulous to hold and use--the F2 is almost jewel-like in fit and finish. You can choose from a variety of finders for the F2, all the way up to the incredible DP-12 which makes the F2 an F2AS--the most collectable and valuable of all of the F2 bodies. Search eBay and you will find an amazing array of accessories for the F2, not to mention those great Nikkor lenses!
