I went to Photo Outfitters (a used camera store and Nikon dealer) today to see about an FM2. They didn't have one, but they did have an FE2. I talked to the guy for an hour or more about these cameras and all the differences, and I decided to buy the FE2. It's near mint, and the owner is going to go over it and repair everything that needs repair, which mostly means changing all the seals and cleaning it. It had dust and debris inside and around the mirror, but otherwise, it does look mint. He says not quite. I'm going to pay about $200. He's also going to find me a lens for it. I told him I want a 50mm or a moderate zoom, like 35mm - 70mm or something like that.
It's kind of a better deal than the FM2 bodies on eBay right now. There are some near mint bodies there, but not for as low as this FE2. I might still buy an FM2.
