I have bought a FM2/T recently at a price of USD500-00, slight brass at one corner where I don't bother because it is for me to use while I have another in new condition which I meant to keep. That unit costs me USD560-00, I have no complaint over the prices paid. Naturally, some would go for a standard FM2n unit which are obviously cheaper but I think I like what I see and feel thus far. Justification on slight premium paid depends on individual preference. I belong to a passionate user class but I am not sure what is the current price for FM2/T and I am not sure whether it is still in Nikon's product listing.

I am considering the purchase of either a new FM3A or used FE2. I have looked over as much information on each as possible and cannot seem to find major differences between these 2 cameras. What am I missing? Both offer TTL flash which is important to me. Do they both function about the same in that regard?

fabrice arfi: I agree with your remarks where the FM-10 relates. But most people cannot accept the fact where both FM10 and FE10 were not made by Nikon and they are really hurting a lot of users' confidence with their strong presence of "degraded" Nikon quality. In particularly to those who were so used to the robust quality of the older Nikon SLR camera bodies produced during the 60, 70 and the '80. However, as time progresses, most younger photographers now are taking such phenomenon naturally and only certain high-end camera models are still retaining such "old" feel. I think the question is not whether should there any justice done to FM10 but rather, should these entry models which have obviously compromised in many ways be selling so expensive ? If we are to carefully examine the many entry SLR cameras produce by various manufacturers, I doubt you can find any SLR that is selling under 250 in the market now. Both FM10 and FE10 are fine cameras (and I believe these are every inch a Nikon) but I feel the prices fixed are just simply way too high, that is all. So, remarks from gentlemen like Mr. Barrie Chapman also make a lot of sense. Well, I have a Nikon FM since 1979 (with a few Nikkor lenses and an ever dependable Motor Drive MD-12) although I am not a pro but still contribute fairly to the corporate profit to Kodak and Fuji yearly as an individual, it is still serving me. And I felt very only to realize it still cannot outclass an oldie in its basic specification - not to mention the new one cannot takes a Motor Drive. So, these are from another perspective but like you - I still think a camera that dare to put a Nikon name should be fine for general use. Peace.

I feel that I need to write a few words in favour of the nikon fm10! Although an experienced photographer, I bought one 3 years ago in an airport and I've never looked back. It is extremely dependable and accurate and I've used it non-stop since day 1. It's main drawbacks, I have to admit id a very plastic feel which reminds of autofocus cameras and a singular overall ugliness which some might find hard to come to terms with...But, hey, it's what you do with it that counts! And no, unless you are very lucky, a second hand camera, no matter how good it looks or feels is generaly a source of problems, which tend to occur often rather sooner than later, should it be small things like the light trappings that needs changing or the light meter that starts giving up. Sadly, unlike violins and good wine, cameras do not improve with age and as long as second hand camera shops will emulate used car dealers, it remains a better bet to buy a new one... Nikon had to fill a gap in its manual focus slr series and, for the price, considering the range of lenses and equipments that'll fit it, the fm10 remains an incredible bargain.

Decision between FM3A and FE2 can all boil down to the selling price of the respective cameras. Between the two options, a more logical choice would be the new FM3A camera as long as it doesn't go beyond 65% price of a fine old used camera to call it a good bargain. But instead of using that as a yardstick, should we think the new camera has been overpriced by Nikon ? Or should we also interprets may be the price for a good used FE2 is way too high ?? Well, as a user, if what the rumours said is correct that Nikon wants to use the FM3A to replace the FM2n - a "fair" retail price should be fixed as the price of a FM2n before it was discontinued. Unfortunately, phasing out an existing model will need sufficient time to let dealers clearing their old stocks of FM2n, probably that may partly explain why the FM3A is selling so high. But - who says Nikon is abandoning the FM2n ? Well, I am not sure but I read it from a discussion forum at photo.net and thus I am commenting here. By the way, is that true ? Peace.

Hello,

I'm considering purchasing a new FM3A or possibly a used FE2. Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions on either of these?

Many thanks!

To Chinmoy: I don't think the FM2n will let you down under very cold temperatures but the battery. To avoid this, Nikon offers the anti-cold battery pack DB-2 (must be kept in your pocket; connected with camera by cable plus socket). Another obstacle to be faced with in very cold environment is film breakage (can be avoided, but not in any case, by winding slowly).

Chinmoy Roy: May be most of us are curious, but I don't think we should worry whether the FM2n will paralyze in extreme cool or hot temperature. Actually, those areas are supposedly an electronic camera's proprietary problem because other than extreme heat or cold, they have othert thngs to worry about - electrical noise, magnetic field interference and insulation against dust or alien particles are just some of them... so, I am quite glad to be an owner of a FM2na nd I am quite sure there are someone using a FM2n during winter in Norway, Alaska or summer time photo sessions in and around the Sahara region or even at the Afghanistan dry plains... peace. Jim
