This just arrived from Japan yesterday and I have already started shooting with it! I purchased it with a grip, lens, and additional grid focus screen. It's a real beauty. The only blemish is one faint scratch on the bottom. The lens looks like new as well. There seems to be no shortage of mint FM3a's but I feel very lucky to have it. I went right to loading it with E100, and have my mom's EL Nikkormat as its shooting mate.

Great camera. Makes me want to shop for one. But I already have 4 35mm cameras that I underuse, so I'm going to restrain myself.

Oh boy, that's a gem. It really is a beautiful camera. I am trying to reduce, it's so tempting. Congratulations!

Actually I was prepared for that but it arrived in one day! August 5th @ 12;33pm it was in Japan and I got it on the 6th @ 10:00am. I was amazed because last time I waited for 3 weeks. This was FedEx vs EMS.
