Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Titanium shutter provides exceptional durability and long-term reliability compared to cloth-shutter SLRs
- Included Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AI-s lens is sharp, lightweight, and excellent in low light
- Aperture-priority auto mode and manual mode offer flexible exposure control
- Compact, all-metal body with a satisfying mechanical build quality
- Compatible with the extensive library of Nikon F-mount manual focus lenses
👎 Cons
- Requires two LR44 batteries for metering and electronic shutter operation — the camera will not function without them
- As a renewed unit, cosmetic wear and shutter count are unknown and may vary between copies
- No built-in motor drive, so film advance is manual only via the thumb lever
- The 50mm f/1.8 lens is manual focus only, which may challenge photographers accustomed to autofocus
