Not sure they have such camera anymore.
There are many 2nd hand shops in Peninula Plaza, Shopping centre and Adelphi

Need to shop around and know your budget and the current price.
Good Luck

Thanks for the info.
I found this site -www.keh.com-, anybody familiar with this site?
It seems like all the items I'm looking for are in this site.
It is one of the more popular sites for buying used items. But it is based in the states. You will have big issues if you want to do a return.
To buy and sell 2nd hand old cameras, you really do need to know your stuff somewhat, to know what to check for in particular models etc...
And yes, I still see F, FE and FM in peninsular.
i got quite a bit of my stuff from keh. their rating is pretty conservative and their shipping is fast.
if you're getting from overseas, just be aware that if your total price (including shipping) is over $400, you would need to pay gst.
you can also check out the b&s section. quite a few film cameras listed there

Just wanted to know more about the items you purchased from keh. All are graded as EX+, EX, etc, right... were the items you received really really met the grade that they provided? just incase i don't have any choice but to get the items from them. Thanks.
yup, for me they usually exceed my expectations for the grade

Hi,
Some places I know are Peek at Armenian Street, Peninsula, Adelphi at City Hall area. The last time I went to Cat Socrates they have about 7-8 SLRs displaying but I doubt they come cheap.
Get a cheap one from Ebay. I got a cheap SLRs and Rangefinder from Ebay for USD$0.99, I was really lucky. Wait for a week or two for them to arrive and you have spend a whole afternoon trying to CLA them up yourself ! Or you can bring them to Camera Hospital to CLA them, which might cost you. After a few time you will be able to do those simple tasks like changing light seals and mirror bumps!

Go to P&G PHOTO at adephi He's a really nice guy! And he has quite a collection. Don't worry nikon slrs are fairly common so are decently priced. Or just stalk buy and sell for a while. they pop up quite often

It really is a collection! and I found the one I want on their online list, need to go down there this weekend to see in person.
KEH.com grading used to be conservative years back but now it's different. If they say condition is a bargain they mean that. No more buying 'bargain' condition items and getting surprised with good condition ones. And often times they also come with some problems, obvious one they will state.
