Nikon FM 35mm SLR Film Camera + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 Ai-S Lens

The Nikon FM + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI-S is a near-perfect example of what made Nikon’s manual-focus system so good. The FM is compact, mechanically operated, and refreshingly straightforward, with the kind of solid controls and tactile feedback that make shooting film feel like operating a precision instrument rather than navigating a piece of electronics.

The FM’s mechanical shutter makes it particularly appealing as an everyday shooter since the camera can operate without batteries, with batteries only needed for the light meter. Pair it with Nikon’s excellent Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI-S and you have a fast, compact kit equally suited to street photography, portraits, available-light work, travel, or just keeping loaded with Tri-X and bringing everywhere.

The 50mm f/1.4 AI-S is also a great lens beyond film. Its fast aperture, smooth manual focus, and classic Nikkor rendering have made it popular for adapting to modern mirrorless cameras and for video work where a proper mechanical focusing ring is a feature rather than an anachronism.

Condition: EXCELLENT

This Nikon FM kit is in excellent condition with minimal cosmetic wear and is fully functional. The camera’s shutter, meter, film transport, and controls are operating properly.

The included Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI-S has very faint internal haze. The haze is minimal and should have little practical effect under most shooting conditions, though particularly strong backlighting may produce a slight reduction in contrast. Focus and aperture operation are smooth and correct.

Overall, this is a very clean, ready-to-shoot example of one of Nikon’s best all-mechanical 35mm SLR setups.
