Nikon FG Film cam??

[daviddear30]

I was given this a long time ago and never even looked at it as I had no need for a film camera at that time.
Can someone tell me what this all is? Is it worth selling? I have no need for it but I have no idea what a fair asking price would be

Thanks for any help

Here's a wiki on the FG: Nikon FG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
KEH has a chrome one listed for $49 (body).

Is this something people would still use or just collect?

Some will use them. I got one off eBay that was made in 1975 - I shoot a roll now and then.

There's lots of people shooting film; the problem is that there is so much old film gear around it's very much a buyer's market. You could try selling it on eBay, you might get a few dollars for it, but condition is all-important. Clean optics, good light-seals and accurate shutter speeds as well as an accurate meter will make the difference between a $10 ornament and a $50-75 camera sale.

How would I know what year it was made?
