Nikon FM3a (Silver) + Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.4D

The Nikon FM3a in its handsome silver finish — the last and arguably finest manual-focus SLR Nikon ever built, and the closing chapter of the legendary FM/FE line. Its signature is a one-of-a-kind hybrid shutter: every speed from 1s to 1/4000 fires mechanically even with a flat battery, yet with cells fitted you gain stepless aperture-priority auto-exposure. Paired here with the fast Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.4D for a complete, do-anything 35mm kit — and this one is fully working, meter included.
