■About the Nikon FM3A
The Nikon FM3A is a legendary 35mm film SLR, known for its rare hybrid shutter system — fully mechanical operation with optional aperture-priority auto exposure.
Built in Japan, it was Nikon’s final manual-focus film camera, combining reliability, precision, and timeless design.

■Why this is special
The Nikon FM3A was the last manual-focus film SLR produced by Nikon, and production was limited.
It has since become a true collector’s item, with high demand among film enthusiasts worldwide.
The Black color is particularly sought after, making this an excellent investment piece as well as a practical film camera.

Highly sought after by photographers and collectors, the FM3A is praised for its durability, battery-free operation in manual mode, and limited production run. A true modern classic.
