Black Nikkormat FTn w/ H 50 2.0 lens. Meter is working well, and the shutter exposes properly. Shows signs of being well used, and well loved, especially by me. The sound of the shutter is reason enough to own one of these. Could use some light seals, but it has not shown any issues. Just in case, I usually stick a piece of tape on the film door hinge, as this is where I saw a small possible light leak years ago on a neg frame. There are a few little marks on the focus screen. No ding on the prism.

The lens is one of the best 50's that have been on any of my cameras. It has clean glass, user cosmetics on the barrel, and beautiful coatings. There is a minor bit of stiffness when you focus it toward the near end, like many of these, and it is in just one place. It also isn't always there. Possibly a bit of something on the helical, and as I said, it's minor. Takes really nice photos w/ smooth bokeh.

US sale only please. The camera is $35 plus $13 for insured priority shipping, and the lens is $35 plus $7 for insured priority. Together the price would be $60 plus $13 shipping.

This combo is what started me on Nikon – it's a nice setup. GLWS.
 
Thanks. I've been shooting this for some years. Very reliable, and the lens is a (low contrast) killer. It will need a battery, that's it. I never had the right one, just stuck a 1.5V in there w/ some tinfoil, adjusted the ISO, and it worked fine..
 
Bump.

Price drop too. Camera is now $30 plus shipping, lens is $30 plus shipping, and lens and camera together are $50 plus shipping.
