Nikon FM10 + Nikon AF Nikkor 35-80mm F4-5.6 D

The Nikon FM10 is the quiet survivor of Nikon's manual-focus line — introduced in 1995, built by Cosina, and kept in the catalogue for decades as the camera photography courses recommended. Fully mechanical, so it fires at every speed with a dead battery, with a 1/2000s top shutter and the whole AI-compatible Nikkor catalogue open to it. Paired here with the Nikon AF Nikkor 35-80mm f/4-5.6 D, a light, genuinely sharp Nikon-made zoom that carries an aperture ring and so works perfectly on this manual body.

Excellent throughout, with clean optics and everything working as it should. The 35-80mm D is an autofocus lens but carries an aperture ring, so on the FM10 it simply becomes a light, sharp manual zoom — and later moves straight onto a Nikon AF body if you get one.
