I've been wanting to shoot some film.

I've got a Yashica 230-AF Super, but I can't find many lenses.
I've got a Canon A-1, but the Mercury Oxide batteries cost an arm and a leg, and they don't even last long.

So, I was looking at this Nikon.

Nikon N80 body with AF Nikon 28-80mm f3.3-5.6 G lens, AF Nikon 70-300mm f4-5.6 G lens, boxes and instruction book. Excellent $185

Is it a good deal?

for $185? shit, the glass alone is worth more than that.

that price seems to be about average for ebay, so presumably you're fine if they are in good shape.

The N80 (F80) for me was my first Autofocus SLR. Great camera, I still use mine. When I got it, it came with the lenses included in the kit along with the 24mm f/2.8 and 50 f/1.8.

I say go for it, and if you can, locate an MB-16 grip, allows you to run the camera on AA batteries, and gives it better balance.

The battery for the A-1 is about $6 at your local Home Depot dude..
