Hi, i just got a nikon fm2 as well as 2 other nikons and about 20 different lenses. The fm2 already had film in it so i decided to finish off the roll, when i went to take the film out (by lifting the rewind knob and pushing the button counter clockwise) the back didnt open. am i doing something wrong or could my camera be jammed?

thanks for the help

Hi Justin:

All Nikon lenses have the same bayonet, but they are not all fully cross-compatible. In particular, many of the AF and DSLR models will not provide any light meter function with a manual focus lens attached (there are a few exceptions, which of course tend to be the more expensive models). Some AF lenses made for digital cameras will not work on film cameras because they cannot cover the entire film area (the digital formats are smaller).

For your camera, you want either an AI or AIS series lens. Older, 'Non-AI' lenses will not couple to your light meter and can even damage your camera in some cases. Most of them can be converted to "AI" specs but the cost of conversion is probably more than the extra you'd have to pay for a compatible lens. Click on the URL link above this message for a guide to help identify the different types.

One of the great classic Nikon lenses is the 105/2.5 short tele. This is a good lens for portraits, though some people prefer something slightly shorter like the 85/1.8. For scenery, many people like a wider lens, but this may not necessarily be what you want: look at what you're getting with your 50mm and decide whether what you need is a wider view. Personally I prefer a 28mm for a wide angle lens: 35 doesn't seem wide enough, and anything much wider than 28 begins to become a special-occasions-only lens.... but these are just my tastes, yours may be quite different.

And if you want to get up really close, the 55/2.8 Micro Nikkor is excellent. The older 55/3.5 is also a great lens but many of these were the old 'Non-AI' mount.

When I look into my view finder it's all dark. The shutter on my Nikon FM 10 seems to be stuck and the advance knob won't move either. Please help, thanks.

Hi Tom: I'm afraid all you can do is to either send the camera in for repair or buy another to replace it. I have a link for a directory of repair services in the USA and Canada, but I don't have anything for Western Australia.... sorry. If you have a camera store in your area, I would start there and see if they have a repair service that they work with.
