You can buy a nice one for $400 - $700 or up to 1000 maybe for a very late F with 220 capacity. Have it CLA'd if its not been serviced recently. These are probably the coolest cameras you'll ever use - incredibly smooth, quiet, light, excellent lenses. They are the Leica of MF The pictures are waaaay better than you'd ever expect for the price ( or for any price) Henry
