Modern Classic SLRs Series : |
The Nikon FM Series is the longest serving model and the popular 35mm mechanical SLR in the market. In a series of fine camera design and manufacturing, Nikon introduced the Nikon FM dating back to 1977 which remains until today with a series of variations and updates. As every individual photographer has his own personal style to express himself visually while at the same time, maintain his own photographic equipment in a very personal manner, This section allows you to share mutual knowledge & experience among all Nikon FM series camera users. Some of the opinion presented in this site was very personal I hate to see them affecting a decision regardless it is an acceptance or rejection any of the models within the series. So, here is a section dedicated to all of you where you may also present yours. I do hope it is beneficial to all of you. Enjoy.

I was wondering why this page was not been link at your lovely Nikon site. partly, it answers the question on the SB-E for Nikon F and FM2n below. Basically, Nikon F has a side mounting sync foot, it is not the standard ISO type. You need to get a third party coupler OR Nikon own coupler such as the link provided above (use the F2 as the basis for the Nikon F). The SB-E has a standard ISO-type flash mounting foot, it can be used on the FM2N with no coupler. But on the F, the AS-1 is a must.3. From : John McLoughlin (john.mcloughlin@vodafoneemail.co.uk)

I inadvertently inserted a new set of batteries the wrong way up into my Fm2n. The result seems to be that the on-borad light meter is not working. Is there anything I can do to rectify this mistake? I love my camera and would hate to lose that functionality - I don't want to be lugging around a light meter with me all the time. Please help. Many thanks John4.

Hi Labo:
Yes, I'm afraid there's a good chance that it will affect your photos: the mirror operation may be obstructed before the shutter releases, or the lens may not stop down properly. Do you have a friend with a Nikon, from whom you might borrow a lens for a few minutes to check it?7. From : labo (jurtabbay@yahoo.com)

Hello Labo:
It sounds like the problem is in your lens.... resistance in the lens is blocking the aperture stop-down linkage, which is connected to the mirror mechanism. Do you have another lens you can try on the camera? If you have the same problem with another lens, then you have a camera problem.9. From : labo (jurtabbay@yahoo.com)

The focusing screen issue: Nikon FM2 screen (still available) is brighter. Use it onto the older FM has another issue because it needs to calibrate to the older CDs cell. I think the newer FM2(N) has a SPD. Well,a s you said, there must be a solution , use the meter manually and get the right compensation and set the ASA to compensate the adjusted reading is one issue but I doubt the size is the same with the older FM. Alter way is via Ebay, you have to wait for it patiencetly to see anyone is disposing disassembled parts of a FM. Luck, may be is what you need as FM was first introduced 30 years ago. Mr. Rick seems to be a very knowledgeale man, can offer an advice ?
