Nikon M Sync 6092XXX 35mm Rangefinder Camera Body Review

The Nikon M is a classic 35mm rangefinder camera body from Nikon's early years in the format, part of the company's pre-F lineage. This particular unit is listed as a bargain-condition, inoperative example from KEH, making it a non-functional collectible or restoration project rather than a working tool. At $1,598, the pricing reflects the scarcity and historical significance of Nikon's rangefinder era, though buyers should be clear-eyed about its stated inoperative status.

For collectors or enthusiasts interested in Nikon's rangefinder heritage, this represents a piece of photographic history. However, the bargain grading and inoperative condition mean it cannot be used for actual shooting without significant repair work. There's no indication of what specifically is broken or whether parts are available for restoration. Given the price and condition, this is purely for those who value the camera as an artifact or are equipped to undertake restoration themselves.
