In relation to the lens compatibility with FM3A, I would assume any Nikkor lens that has a minimum AI-specifications (including most of the AF-Nikkor lenses) should work with the camera metering system. Well, the two G-lenses which is still selling on the street has no aperture control and thus, they should be avoided.

Sin: In relation to your question on "..... Why the SB-15 reads as SB-17 are they the same...", yes - they are almost the same without a few difference. The SB-15 was meant for any Nikon SLR that has a standard ISO type hotshoe, the SB-17 is specifically designed for Nikon F3 with its special accessory shoe that mount the flash on top of the film rewind knob (The same goes for SB-16A (Standard Hot Shoe) and SB-16B (F3 type hot shoe); next - the SB-17 has a very useful TTL socket which you can make use by using TTL sync cord(s) for multiple flash units in TTL control. The SB-15 has only an extra normal sync socket (not TTL).

Dear Sir,

I am a beginner and intend to buy a manual SLR, specifically the new Nikon FM3a. For lens, however, I am thinking of buying a used ones (for a start 50mm 1.4 or 1.8).

Could u help me to determine what kinds of Nikkor lens (used ones) that are compatible with the new FM3a ?

Tks,

AllenLoy

Wow... IF I am working in Tanzania, I should see my F3 return from Japan after the servicing when the Nikon F-6 is introduced-huh ?? Why don't they reply by informing or published in their own website who are their representative(s) near the subcontinent ?? Well, I have checked the map of Asia, may be owners of Nikon FM2n is luckier, they can have the luxury of take a train to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore for servicing.

Dear Sathish:

My name is Leonard. I have received a similar request for help from a Lecturer at "Bangladesh Photography Institute" in Dhaka, Bangladesh recently and I pointed the gentleman to seek help from either Nikon USA, their regional representative or Japan for help; I have received a reply from Japan after two weeks and I think you may also make use of the Email address published herein and ask for more sales reference of Nikon in India. Well, it looks more like a auto reply generator - BUT one thing is for sure, they expect you to ship your camera to Japan for repair... probably they think the Nikon camera are vey durable and should survive the few months via sea routes...

WonderFM ? Probably that is the problem. You see, the Nikon FE2 and FM have separate ways how to turn on the camera (So does activating the meter circuitry); the FE2's meter is activated via light touch on the shutter release button, it will remains on for 16 sec and off to conserve battery power; the film advance lever has been re-assigned in the camera to act as a "Shutter Release Lock"; the Nikon FM does not providing with a energy saving circuit, the meter ON is NOT same as the newer Nikon FE2 - instead of making use of half depressing the shutter release button, it can be turn on by just pulling it out at a standoff position. At the same time, the film advance lever is also a shutter release lock (Older Nikon FM bodies' lock is by rotating a ring around the shutter release button), so while you are "toying" between the Nikon FE2 and a older Nikon FM, chances are there that you may thought the FM's meter is not working because the film advance lever is not even pull out to activate the meter at all. Anyway, I leave that to you to check it out and see if that is the cause. IF not, send your camera to a proper camera clinic. I explained these primarily because I assume you are new to both of these Nikon SLR cameras.

I was given two cameras, Nikon FE2 and a Nikkon FM. I was wondering why the FM's three lights inside sometimes lighted up and sometimes don't. The FE2 has not problem with the needle. Where do I send to check if it is alright OR if there is nothing wrong at all ? >>>

Yes. I have seen once a customer in Korea kept complaining his FM2 is no good and making a lot of noise in the shop, I checked the batteries for her and found out that she mixed the position of the button cells upside down. Small issues but things did happened that manner. Always asked an experienced friend helped to check, before wasting such money. Bye.
