Nice! Thinking of getting an FE or FM, since I just found out some company is making an Instax back based on Nikon’s somewhat rare (and packfilm-reliant) Speed Magny.
Mhmm, I have a very similar kit myself. It's so easy to add to camera collections... At the moment, I'm more inclined to do the same with digicam listings though.
@@Eclectachrome Indeed. It is still possible to find good deals on old DSLR cameras. I'm pleased to have several different ones including a Nikon D70 and Minolta Dynax 5D and some very nice compacts as well. But, no Leica M8, Olympus E-1 or early Fuji X-series models - they are simply too expensive these days. But who knows, perhaps some day, I'll find an Epson ED-1 somewhere - that would be the nicest addition to a digicam collection, I can imagine.
Glad you did it! Nikkormats are awesome!
its heavier than I normally like but holy moly is it awesome!! and the lenses are top class, love the first roll out of it!

What Nikkormat did you end up getting? Hoping for a RUclips Review Video soon!
great clip)))
thanks!
I just bought a whole set at a yardsale for $130, came with a case and 7 lenses. I'm getting into photography as a hobby.

That would be cool! what is the company name?
Does this one have the shutter speed dial around the lens ring base?
yes
This was me last week I bought a Minolta XG-M & a Minolta X-7A. I heard Nikkormats are fantastic cameras.
ohhh so are the minoltas! sounds great and they are affordable too
@@Eclectachrome oh they are I absolutely adore mine.

Yup. I did it too and got that exact model of Nikkormat.

Just do it - you can always sell your film gear later if you need/want.
very true!!
A nikkormat is one of the best bodies you can invest in and if you send it for CLA you will have a camera that will last you 50 more years.
100% agree! :)
Yes!!!
haha :) :)
@@Eclectachrome ps you're featuring in an upcoming video!

I just had my beloved Nikkormat die on me. Heartbreaking.
oh noooo!!!!
@@Eclectachrome it’s ok! I have another on the way now, and just had a spotmatic show up!
