Nikon FG 35MM SLR Film Camera With F Mount - Body Only
Recommended Add-ons
A compact, late-era classic that brought Program AE to Nikon’s manual-focus line, the FG balances light weight with a confident, metal-mount feel. Bright LED readouts and a clear finder make it quick to shoot, while the control layout stays simple for everyday use. Listing notes an AI F-mount lens and the presence of a hot shoe and in-body meter.
