  • Product Description

    The FM2/n has a long-standing reputation for reliability and durability[1]. It has an extremely strong body of copper silumin aluminum alloy[2]. The FM2's film transport consists of high-strength hardened metal gears and moving parts, mounted on clusters of ball bearings. The vertical metal shutter, originally titanium and switching to aluminum during the FM2n life cycle, utilizes precision tapered high-strength blades and oil-less self-lubricating bearings. The mirror linkage uses the same mechanism found on Nikon's professional F2, with some modern improvements designed to further reduce effects of vibration and mirror bounce. The camera features Nikon's famous close tolerance assembly and minimal space lubrication, meaning that it will reliably operate in temperature extremes of −40 °C to +50 °C. The FM2 is a mechanically-controlled manual focus SLR with manual exposure control. It is operable without batteries and only needs the two S76 or A76 batteries, or one 1/3N battery to power the light meter, which consisted of an internal 60/40 percent centerweighted system linked to a center-the-LED exposure control system. The exposure control system used vertically arranged +/o/– light emitting diodes (LEDs) on the right side of the viewfinder to indicate the readings of the meter versus actual camera settings.

    Beautiful camera, shutter still fully operational, minimal cosmetic damage. As of this review I've cleaned it throughly, replaced the viewfinder, and replaced the light seals. Everything looks fantastic, can't wait to get shooting!

    *UPDATE 12-28-2015*

    Still in wonderful working condition, I've already shot about a dozen rolls of film (light usage). I tested the shutter speeds on my computer. They are all accurate, give or take 5% error, which is certainly impressive for a 30+ year old camera that hasn't been serviced to my knowledge!

    *UPDATE 11-10-2017*

    Still in beautiful condition, I've gone through countless rolls and works just like I first got it. Someone took care of this guy over the years and it's still in good hands :)

    The Nikon FM2 is probably THE CLASSIC example of a traditional SLR camera. It needs no batteries, (except for the built in meter), operating with a mechanical shutter. It is built tank-like as many cameras of it's era, with this NIKON being among the most durable and reliable. That said, this vendor has provided a gem of an example for the price. The body is in wonderful condition with an absolute minimum of brassing along the edges. All controls operate smoothly. There is a bit of dust on the focusing screen but that is to be expected in a camera of this age-easily remedied by the insertion of a new screen or careful cleaning of the one inserted. Simply set the ISO on the built in meter, attach your favorite lens, spool up a roll of film and you are good to go. This is THE camera to use if you are a student learning about classic photography and the relationship between shutter speed, F stops, and "film" speed.

    Truly 1 of the mechanical classic of the slr age, although I slightly favors its cousin the FE. If you are a true photography fan pick one up and enjoy what picture taking should be.

    It is a serious, spectacular camera. It hearkens back to a time when Photographers had to know their stuff. It is 100% mechanical, which is why it's the preferred camera of certain National Geographic photographers. there are no electronic shutters to jam, or batteries to die in freezing weather. It is heavy, you will know if you have to carry it around all day. It adjusts in full stops only.

    Make sure you get the FM2/n version. The only difference on the exterior is that the flash sync is 1/250, marked in red on the shutter dial. My FM2n is older than me, and the shutter is still perfectly accurate.

    The meter seems like it was thrown in as an afterthought, and generally tends to want to over or under expose by 1/3 to 1 stop. Why? because the 60/40 meter split reads too much of the frame for most subjects, and it compensates by telling you that it's over or under exposed, when it's probably not. The easy fix is to know your exposures. A separate incident light meter is highly recommended. My little Sekonic L308S fits in my pocket and is way more accurate than the meter on the camera.

    It also has some interchangeable parts. The film door from the FM3a will fit on the FM2n, the only difference being that the FM3a's door has that little window for reading the film type & speed from the roll. There's also removable focusing screens. Most come with the split-prism style. There's also different versions by nikon, & some aftermarket companies make them for upwards of $90, if that's your thing.
