Hi, Everyone, 

Several folks on this list are film camera enthusiasts, and take them on their bike rides. I want to give this Nikomat film body away. My grandfather gave it to my father in the late 80's, and my father already had his collection of Olympus OM film cameras and lenses so he gave it to me when I was a teenager. I learn to take photos on it and used it well into the new millennium. After I moved to digital in 2005, this body has been gathering dust in an old camera bag. In my effort to declutter, I am giving it away. It will come with the 50mm f/1.4 lens. 

The camera will need some refurbishment (the shutter seems to be stuck at this point). If you are in the Bay Area, come and say hello and take it. You will need to cover shipping if you are out of town. I hope it will go to someone who enjoys using film camera and might put it to use.


Thanks,
Franklyn
