about to go get an FM2 tomorrow. With a motor grip and a few lenses. All for $50. Im pretty stoked. Anybody have experience with this model?

I don't have first-hand experience with older Nikons, but that's a good deal you got! Which lenses are you getting?

FUCK! broken. bought it anyway. Need some new office art!

Ahh, bummer. Are the lenses good?

An FM2 may be worth getting fixed. What does it do/not do when you try to take a picture? What lenses did you get?

turned out to be 2 50 1.2 lenses. the whole thing is broken.

50/1.2 lenses would most likely be worth repairing. 50/2 lenses which would have a thing reading 1:2 on the lens, however, would probably not.

Heck, I'd probably give you $60 for two 50/1.2 lenses alone as long as the brokenness didn't involve cracked/scratched/fungused/whatever glass.

True dat. Nikon glass is good quality, and holds it's value since it works on new bodies just as well as old ones.

yeah. Im going to keep it all. I kind of have a collection going. plus, when I get another Nikon I can use the lenses and motor drive.

The 50 1.2 lenses are definitely worth hanging on to, in fact I know some people looking for one.

I have an FM, they're nice little cameras. Fun to use, sorry to hear your FM2 is busted. Without knowing how it's broken it's hard to say what the repair would cost, sometimes it's something rather simple.
