Nikon FM3A 35mm SLR Film Camera Body Silver

The Nikon FM3A is regarded as one of Nikon’s finest 35mm film SLRs, combining the best of manual precision with modern automation. Released in 2001 and produced until 2006, this camera was designed as the last professional-grade manual focus film camera by Nikon, appealing to purists and collectors alike.

What makes the FM3A unique is its hybrid shutter system: it can operate fully mechanically without batteries, yet also supports aperture-priority auto exposure with electronic assistance when powered. This dual capability ensures that photographers can rely on the FM3A in any condition, whether fully manual in remote areas or automated for fast-paced shooting.

The all-metal build and premium controls deliver the tactile feel of a classic Nikon, while the bright viewfinder makes manual focusing easy and accurate. It accepts a wide variety of Nikon F-mount manual focus lenses, offering flexibility for portrait, landscape, and street photography enthusiasts.
