About this camera.

The Nikon EM — Nikon's lightest and most accessible SLR, introduced in 1979 as their entry-level F-mount camera. Stripped of manual controls by design, it pairs aperture-priority shooting with Nikon's legendary F-mount ecosystem. Paired here with the Nikkor Zoom 35-70mm f/3.5-4.8 — a versatile walk-around zoom covering wide-angle through short telephoto in a compact package. Both camera and lens are in excellent condition and fully working.
