The Nikon FG-20 (AV38) has been inspected by CPB Darkroom. The camera requires LR44 batteries for shutter operation, as it uses an electronically controlled shutter. The built-in light meter is not functioning, and the camera must therefore be used with an external meter or manual exposure estimation. Mechanically, the shutter fires when powered, and the controls operate normally. The advance lever is broken in half. The body is otherwise in good condition with light signs of use. The images shown depict the exact camera you will receive.

Introduced in the mid-1980s, the Nikon FG-20 is a compact and lightweight manual-focus SLR offering aperture-priority and manual shooting modes. It is compatible with Nikon F-mount AI and AI-S lenses, making it a flexible entry into Nikon’s extensive lens system.

The FG-20 uses standard 35mm (135) film, producing 24 × 36 mm negatives. Due to the non-functional meter, it is best suited for users comfortable shooting fully manual exposures.

SLR cameras sold by CPB Darkroom are inspected for shutter response, film advance operation, and mechanical condition, with all limitations clearly described and reflected in the grading.

The sample images shown were made on film using this exact camera and lens, offering a true representation of its rendering, lens performance, and overall image quality.
