fm2n (with original leather strap!!!!!!!)
the object of my recent affection...
bought this beauty on e-bay and the lens separately; the camera came with the original leather strap and the cs-16 pouch - again, genuine leather! called nikon hong kong who said it costs a minimum fee of hk$200 (approx. £16) to service and it'll take up to a month to do so. not bad. so excited. i am indeed officially a very happy camper...(now i need to find someone who'll transport her all the way to hong kong!;-))
apologies for my absence on flickr; somehow life insists on getting in the way. i will get back to business soon for sure. many many thanks to those who have visited my stream even when i haven't been around. you don't know how much that means to me... again, thank you ♥

That's a great camera! It's going to be a lot of fun to use. My friend has one that was given to her by her grandpa and I must say it's very well built. Congrats.

chris! how are you? it's always nice and exciting to have a new toy. i have yet to buy a sort of film camera like that, though I already have a film EOS body. I want to buy the Canon AE-1 XD

Great to see you back!
I wish that HK$200 would have been enough to pay for the service of my Leica :) Looking forward to see what kind of shots your Nikon will produce. You make me wanna do some shopping of my own on e-bay.
