That's a real low price... Less than $200 for every camera or lens! And great ones!

FM3a's were $325 each. Then good bargains followed.

FM3a's are great with their automations and the whole mechanical speeds... Not long ago (a few years) if I remember well, their price was higher... I never owned one but have wanted to for years, and I'd love to see my FE2 jealous with a good reason... They'd make a good couple... Great buy, Akiva... Evil is good!

Good stuff. Funny that RFF is even the best place to rant about your Film SLR's.

It is all good folks.
Are there any film SLRs that aren't a bargain these days? It seems like every body I liked back in the 90s is dirt cheap these days.

Yes, it's a pleasure with mechanical and also elecrtronic Nikon SLRs... Hasselblad equipment too!

Sure, I will sell you my Nikkormat for a Grand.
I'm not stupid...
(I swear)However, the prices of things like the F3 and the Leica R4/R5 are dirt cheap these days. I've never been an SLR fan, but these cameras are now the cheapest way to get into serious photography.
