Am shooting and developing b/w film on a fm2 and would like to revisit some shots with something different.

Looked on eBay and I found some Horseman cameras that I really liked the look of. However there are several postings and I kinda get confused with the various models.

Would like to have something portable (backpack) and with film I can use my existing developing can with (2x135).

Anyone know this brand that can give some insight?

It has Nikon mounts

I have an FM2N

A pre ai Nikkor 35mm PC shift lens.

Ai Nikkor 50mm 1.4

Tamron 35-70 macro zoom.

Never used bellows before, any pointers?

I played a rather fun zombie game on one of the early Xbox consoles. You played a funny looking zombie wearing a blazer and a hat, and your mission was to turn everybody into zombies. Art style was cartoonish with a sci-fi element. Into the game, you could detach your hand and it crawled through narrow slots and on walls and ceilings. You could also toss your head like an explosive gas bowling ball for area effects.

A quite hilarious game, but I can’t remember what it was called. On PC now, so if it’s available on Steam, I’m ready for some nostalgia.

Any one know?

(1) Budget, country, and currency:

Norway, NOK. Budget around NOK 3000

(2) What equipment, if any, you have now and why is it no longer meeting your needs?

Olympus PEN EP2 w/ 20 and 30mm LUMIX lenses(I use this for digitising film and some landscapes/weather photography)

Borrowed Nikon FG-20 w/ 35-70mm Tamron.

Just won bid on two lenses, both vintage:

35mm Nippon Kogaku PC-Nikkor f/3.5 (with shift)

85mm Nikon Nikkor f/1.8

(3) What kinds of subjects do you intend to shoot?

Landscape, animals, architecture, weather, portraits.

(4) Is it primarily for photography, videography

Photography

Hi all!

(Dumb bot deleted my long and funny letter to you all😑, so here I go again)

Learned photography from my deceased father back in the 80’s and recently picked up a «proper» camera again. Developed the first film in almost twenty years and had a blast doing it.

Have always been a «Nikon» guy and my dream camera back when was the FM. However, we weren’t meant to be and I got hold of an excellent, but used FM2 that I later sold at university in England in favour of a very early Canon digital camera (can’t remember the name, but it was the size of a ten pack of computer disks (not the floppies)).

Borrowed a FG-20, but for me it isn’t the same as the FM2.

As you can see from the form, I got two gems (lenses) to play with.

There are also on the website an old but decent looking FM and a couple of FM2’s (one modified to half frame for police use 😅)

REALLY wanted that FM back in the day, but have more experience with the FM2.

So: Considering the lenses I just bought, should I go back to the FM2 or should I chase the beautiful blunt object of my past desires as the price difference is almost non-existent?
