🛠️ How We Grade Our Cameras

No two cameras are identical, every camera is unique, has its own story and is truly a piece of history. We do our best to group them into three cosmetic categories so you can choose the one that's best for you.

VERY GOOD:

A "very good" body will have minimal signs of wear and tear. Examples include slight impurities like  worn leather or metal, signs of age on the bottom plate, and dull marks. 

GOOD:

A “good” body will also look nice but have some additional potential cosmetic wear such as spots with discoloration,  worn down metal or small scratches somewhere on the body.

AVERAGE:

An “average” body will be a more severe case of cosmetic wear like more extreme discoloration or worn down metal, exterior or interior black specs, deeper scratches, or lines in the eye prism.

The Nikon EM: Lightweight Adventure Meets Film Magic
Check out the ultra portable wonder that is the Nikon EM. An absolute beauty of a 35mm film camera, originally released in 1979 to revolutionize the world of (previously very unwieldy) SLR cameras. The Nikon EM was designed for those who want a camera that’s as portable as it is capable, to be your go-to for capturing life’s spontaneous adventures, whether you’re hiking through nature or enjoying a day in the city.

Why You'll Love It:

  • Magical Film Experience: There's something truly special about shooting with 35mm film. Each photo is a little time capsule, with film’s rich tones and textures making your memories come alive in a way that digital just can’t match.
  • Effortless, Reliable Shooting: The Nikon EM’s aperture-priority mode ensures every shot is perfectly exposed, leaving you free to focus on your subject. With this camera, capturing stunning images is as easy as point-and-shoot.
  • Compact & Travel-Friendly: At just over 1 pound, the Nikon EM is the ultimate travel companion. It’s light enough to carry anywhere but still durable enough to handle life’s adventures.
  • A Nikon Classic: Compatible with a wide range of Nikon F-mount lenses, this camera delivers sharp, high-quality images that you’ll treasure for years. Plus, it feels like a true Nikon in your hands—solid, reliable, and ready for action.

The Nikon EM is the ideal camera for anyone looking for a trusty sidekick on their photo adventures. With its solid build, ease of use, and classic Nikon quality, this camera is more than capable of helping you capture life’s most meaningful moments. From weekend road trips to everyday snapshots, the Nikon EM ensures your photos will have all the warmth and character that only 35mm film can offer.

It’s good

I payed for the “good quality” camera and that is exactly what I got. Very happy with it except for my photo counter is broken, so I have to guess on the number of photos left. Other than that I give it 5 stars
