GEBRUIKTE Nikkormat FTn 35mm film-SLR-body -GELEZEN-

The film advance lever has a satisfying, precise click that makes winding feel solid. Was a bit worried buying used, but the shutter speeds are all accurate and the meter works perfectly. Exactly the reliable mechanical body I wanted for learning manual film photography.

The build quality is fantastic—that all-metal body feels solid and precise in the hand. Metering through the viewfinder is surprisingly accurate for a camera this old, and everything works smoothly. I’ve already shot two rolls with it and love the results.

Got it loaded with a roll of Tri-X and the meter needle settled right where I expected. The advance lever is butter-smooth for a fifty-year-old camera, and the viewfinder is bright enough that focusing in dim light wasn't a struggle. Exactly the mechanical feel I wanted, no electronics to fail.
