--- ## Description: Nikon FM3A SLR Camera Body - Black Finish ### Overview Up for auction is a stunning example of the **Nikon FM3A** in a sleek black finish. Released in 2001, the FM3A is widely considered the pinnacle of Nikon’s manual-focus SLR lineage. It is famous for its unique "Hybrid" shutter, which allows for electronically controlled aperture-priority auto-exposure while maintaining fully mechanical operation across all shutter speeds in the absence of batteries. ### Technical Highlights * **Hybrid Shutter Control:** Offers the convenience of Aperture Priority (A) mode and the reliability of a fully mechanical shutter that works without battery power from 1/4000s to 1s plus Bulb. * **Nikkor Compatibility:** Features an AI-type lens mount, making it compatible with a vast array of legendary Nikkor manual and autofocus lenses (manual focus only). * **Build Quality:** Built with a rugged copper-silumin-aluminum alloy body, designed to withstand professional use in challenging environments. * **Bright Viewfinder:** Equipped with a clear K3-type focusing screen and a bright viewfinder featuring a match-needle exposure system. ### Condition * **Cosmetic:** The black finish is in excellent condition, showing very minimal signs of use. The leatherette is intact, and the base plate is well-preserved. * **Mechanical:** The film advance is smooth, and the shutter fires accurately at all speeds. * **Optics:** The viewfinder and mirror box are clean and clear. * **Functionality:** The exposure meter and auto-exposure modes are fully operational. ### Included Items As shown in the original photographs, this auction includes: * Nikon FM3A Body (Black) * Genuine Nikon Neck Strap (Grey/Black) * Nikon Body Cap * Accessory port cover (attached) ### Shipping and Handling The camera will be packed with professional care using high-quality protective materials to ensure safe transit.
