What kinds of film works for Nikon FA?

I've just got my grandmother's old Nikon FA, and I was wondering which kinds of film I can use for it? Is it just every 35mm film that can be used or? I just want to be 100 % sure before purchasing.

Yep, any 35mm film currently made. Very nice cameras. Check the batteries, remember to set the meter. If you have a digital camera, you could use it as a pseudo light meter, and shoot the same scenes, with your first roll. That's sort of a baseline/calibration mode that gives a good idea how everything is working. Sometimes when a film camera sits for awhile, no use can be harder on it than using it a lot.

The FA is a cool classic camera, your grandmother had better taste than most!

Since it hasn't been used for a while, I'd recommend either having it checked for functionality by a local camera repair shop if you have one OR only using cheap film in it for a while and not shooting anything important just to test it out and see how it works on your own. THEN, send it to a shop for what is called CLA or Clean Lube and Adjust. I can tell you right now with almost 100% certainty that it will need new light seals which is not a difficult or expensive job and can even be done by you if that is all the camera needs (which is likely).

Btw, here's the manual for your FA, you'll need to read this as well as a basic photography guide if you are new to photography to get started.

Now, to answer your question. Yes, you can use ANY 35mm film in this camera, but you need to know a few things about what kinds of 35mm film are available and how/where you plan to process it in order to know what to buy. Here is a link explaining this:

In short, I'd recommend buying some Kodak Gold/Max 200 and 400 or Fuji Superia 200 and 400 or Kodak bw400cn for b&w and processing at a local lab or www.TheDarkroom.com. These are known as consumer grade C41 or color print films (even the b&w is actually a color film technicaly). I suggest these starter films because they are cheap, easy to use and can be purchased and processed in many places compared to other films that more experienced 35mm photographers use.

Once you want to start shooting seriously, I'd recommend buying film from FreestylePhoto.biz, BHPhoto.com or Adorama.com as they will be cheaper and have a greater selection than most local shops. Ordering film in bulk will save on shipping and keep you prepared with plenty of whatever films you enjoy the most.

Any 35mm film will fit.
But you will have to decide if you want Black & White, Colour Prints or Colour Slides.
Then you will have to chose an ISO rating and a number of shots per roll (usually 12, 24 or 36)
