It's not that old, and I'm surprised if it's that cheap, but it's definitely a good 'un.

Described to me by one of my old photography tutors as the perfect manual camera.

If I still did film, that would be my first choice for an SLR with a Leica MP ranking alongside.

Practically bang up to date in fact - introduced in 2001 and only discontinued in 2006. Film SLRs don't get much less old than that!

FM3a's are awesome cameras! I would love one myself, thought they were about £200 s/h now? Has that come right down then?
