Looking for a perfectly working subject camera that will not bust the budget.
Nikon, Pentax, Canon, Olympus, or?
What have you?

What won't bust the budget? Also what period do you consider vintage?

frjeff Loc: Mid-Michigan

Budget max $400, pref less unless prime condition and/or with lens
Vintage: 50 years old or of the same era as cameras such as the Nikon F2, CanonF1, Olympus OM-1, Leicaflex SL2
- maybe Pentax Spotmatic.
All or nearly all mechanical.

Max budget $400 or less? Unless [in] prime condition and/or with lens?

None of my complete set (which essentially includes every finder that Nikon ever offered on an F) of (pristine, and all with lenses) of Nikon F's are up for grabs, nor are any of my F2's or F3HP's either, but you might find the nearly PRISTINE (which means that it meters properly, has light seals that still seal light, but whose only 'detriment' is that it has somebody's name engraved on the bottom of it's baseplate) fully mechanical Pentax K1000 SE (which would be the version whose bright-work is chrome but rather than the body being black, it has the brownish/blackish/maroonish covering on its body) that I have --and am willing to part with-- for the princely sum of $50 (plus shipping, which I'd expect to be maybe $15 or $20?), worthy of your consideration. Please note, however, that this Pentax does NOT have a proper Pentax f/1.4 50mm lens attached; it's instead got an f/2.0 50mm Ricoh lens on it.

Beyond that, none of my pre- or post-WWII vintage Leicas would be in your price range. And I doubt you'd want any of the other vintage rangefinder cameras I have in my stable.

I don't have any of the cameras you mentioned. I have a few that are 70's vintage and mechanical. Those are the Pentax KX, K1000 and the S3 (which is older than 70's). A couple of the Nikon FM, a couple of Minolta SrT 101.

Would a Pentax MX interest you? It does have a meter, but otherwise is completely mechanical. I have a couple and would let one go to an enthusiastic photog. It has been completely serviced by Eric Hendrickson and is in near mint condition. I’ll even throw in some “vintage” film with it.

I need to start selling off my collection - way too many cameras and not enough time to use them.

Yes, would be interested in the MX.
PM me with details and your price.

Not vintage. Just old.

I was not the original person asking, but, Olympus OM’s are my passion. I shoot with the OM4 and would like to upgrade to the OM4t. Could you give me a price? Thanks. Paul
