Well I was surfing Ebay and looking to buy another camera. When I spotted a Nikon N55. for only 65.00 US and Free shipping and handeling. I was like no way but it was true and nothing wrong with the camera so far, and im getting ready to develope the first film.



so now I own two of these cameras..

excpet one i paid 295.00 and th eother was only 65.00

how sweet is this, and personally this is a very nice camera. Features are great, majority of nikkor lenses fit

well just wanted to share .

Nice find, the reason it was so cheap is most likely because it's film. It's like when you look at the EOS 5D, £1200+ it's film counterpart (granted it's older) now sells for around £150-250+ if your lucky.

thats true, the seller emailed me and told me she was a student last semester and she began with film then she decided to go witht he digital classes and just go all digital with a new DSLR, so yes more and more digital are the new thing .. so it does make for the cheap prices on film cameras.

Do you have your own darkroom? I haven't developed film in years. I miss those days...

No id ont have my own darkroom but im thinking of converting my guest room closet into one.

The space is huge so its not a problem , All i would need to do is cover up all cracks from door for light. and then just buy the equpment.

so maybe n the future i will, for now im enrolled in my local community collge and for only 175.00 us dollars a semester I have acess to the lab 6 days a week for a total of 10 hours a day. so thats not too bad
