FM2 from vietnam?

[benjaminteo]

Hey guys, just wondering. I might be taking a short trip over to Vietnam during my end- may semester break.

Have anyone been to Vietnam looking for a used Nikon film SLR? Or where the heck in Vietnam can I dig for good FM2s, FE2, etc. and what is the approximate price for them.

As I am experimenting backwards into film (quite serious about that), "Old birds" please advice. It will help me a lot.

Thanks.

visit Nguyen Hue street ,many camera shop, some fuji lab over there sell old Range finder also. But bargain the price I dont know the price ,sorry. Usually, Film slr in VN quite cheap , especially manual slr. Next to the Fahasa book store , to the left when u facing the book store, there is a small street, turn right there, there is a shop of a nice old man, he can give u some good price and have good collection, but the shop is not his major bussiness i think, cause he usually closed early and go shooting around or coffee with friends , old photographer enjoying his life

Sounds very attractive. One day when I can't run and jump like I used to anymore, I should go down to Vietnam and open a shop just like the old guy.

Directions noted. (Getting a lonely planet) Thanks bahibo. MORE MORE...
