I bought a Nikon FE2 recently from keh.com. There are plenty of manual focus film SLR cameras available. You may also want to try your local camera store. Mine has a good selection of used cameras and lenses. Things are more expensive than

I read the book when it came out. It is an interesting snapshot of a particular period in technology history but, as in any memoir, it comes with heavy dose of the author’s personality. I finished the book because the time period is interes
