looking for camera lenses

I am currently in Kerala and am looking for decent used fixed focal length lenses for a Nikon FM2 (28mm and 50mm). First time in India and finding it difficult to get any information on where are the best cities, stores, or general way to go about finding lenses to replace my busted zoom. Heading to Rajasthan and could go out of my way. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Mumbai seems to be the best place to find camera equipment, you could try some shops there. One resource is:

I haven't bought what you are looking for from them, but I have used them for a new Canon Digital Rebel and they were fine.

Good luck.

Being able to find a used one is very very unlikely. You might have to go for a new one.

Thumbs up

Mumbai's JJMehta does not sell film cameras anymore.

You are looking for the classic manual focus Nikon FM2. You cannot get at the first hand market now.

You will probably get what you want in the second hand market.

But Nikon have retained their mount, so you can use their latest range of lenses as well, except the DX lenses (which are only for digital SLRs)
