Was aiming for FM2n or FM2n T =(
Aside from the design, the FM2 (well, FM2n) has a legendary reputation behind it because of the strong, reliable body. I can probably get a used one for around $150 but a decent mint condition would run for around $300.
FM10 has a lot of plastic parts and has received numerous complaints from Nikon users.
There's a few cheap ones from KEH.com but I'm reluctant to buy used goods from online dealers. Despite the website's solid reputation. I might hit Adorama in Manhattan or maybe B&H first.
And yes, I hate how expensive lenses are. I need to get a better one for my Canon. My current lens gets the job done but sets pretty severe limitations. I'm using a 28-155mm f/3.5-5.6 zooming lens. f/3.5 is still a pretty narrow aperture to begin with but when I use the zooming function and it gets limited to 4.5 or 5.6, that's when it gets pretty irritating.
Probably gonna get this baby here soon:
