You might also want to consider the Nikon FM or Nikon FE. They are nice cameras and more reasonably priced than the FM3A.

I agree that the Nikkormats are very nice cameras but for some reason are underrated. If someone is looking for a good film camera they are the best bargain around. They are built as well as their Nikon stablemates but at a fraction of the cost. I have FT, Ftn and EL models and they have never let me down. I actually prefer them over my Nikon F and F2.

You said that you would probably like a normal viewfinder. You may change your mind when you see what the regular prism/finder sells for. A nice one goes for ridiculous money. Even if you can not get the meter to work you can still use the finder you have.

Use it. You will like it. It is great camera and built like a brick. There are a lot of lenses available at reasonable prices. If I was going to get another 50mm lens I would get the 50mm f2 lens. I like it better than the 50mm f1.4. As for the batteries I use the CRIS Camera adapters. You will need 2 of them. I have the manuals for the camera, the FTN finder and the 55 mm micro lens. You could probably find them on ebay. If not I could make copies for you. I could make copies and send them to you.

I bought my Mamiya 6 in 1992 and have never had a problem with it. It is a very nice camera with excellent lenses.
