I'd also suggest the Nikon FM2. It's a lovely camera, but only if you are right eyed. Nikons of that time switch on by pulling the film wind lever out slightly. If, like me, you are left eyed, that means that you lift the camera to your eye, bash yourself in the face with the lever and switch the camera off again. That's how I ended up with Olympus cameras, which have an on/off switch on the top plate. For the left eyed, I can recomend the Olympus OM-2n, from almost 30 years of very happy association.

Both cameras have a great range of superb lenses and other acessories, manual and aperture priority auto exposure and are robust and reliable. The OM also has a dedicated flash system which was distinctly ahead of its time.

Do you live anywhere near Manchester? If so have a look in the "Real Camera Co".
