About this camera.
An honest, character-filled Nikon FM2n kit paired with the cult-classic Helios 81H 50mm f/2 — a Belarusian-made Nikon F-mount lens famous for its sharp centre, glowing bokeh, and 1980s-era Soviet build quality. The body shows its age cosmetically but is mechanically perfect including a working light meter — a rare combination for a Fair-graded body, and a great pickup for anyone who values function over polish.
