Common questions

About $38 to $56 as of 2026-11-06, based on 3 recent eBay sales with a median of $45. Similar ones are listed right now for $84 to $84, but asking prices run higher than what things sell for.

What has a Nikon EM 35mm film camera body sold for recently?

Recent eBay sales: $40 (Excellent+++ Nikon EM 35mm SLR Film Camera Body Only); $60 (Meter Working! [Near MINT+3] Nikon EM 35mm SLR Film Camera Body Strap…); $45 ([Good condition] Nikon EM Black Body Nikon Film Camera).

What makes one worth more or less?

Body only vs. with a lens: a working lens can be worth more than the body, so price them as what you actually have. A working light meter and accurate shutter speeds are what serious buyers check first. "Meter works" in a listing adds real money. Lens fungus, haze or separation lowers the price a lot. Look through it at a bright light.
