Modern Classic SLRs Series :
Nikon FM Series SLR camera models - Message Board/Guestbook

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.

This site is specifically created for some of these great SLR bodies by Nikon, its creator.

Hi Sal: The viewfinder screen in the FM2N is removable: remove the lens, press up slightly on the tab at the center of the front edge of the screen and the screen frame will drop. Now carefully remove the screen, blow it off with canned air (DO NOT wipe it or apply solvents to it) to remove dust. If there is also dust on the bottom of the prism itself, I would just blow on it with my breath rather than using the canned air .... that may be too much pressure to be aiming into the open camera body.

Set the screen back into its frame in the same position it was in originally, and carefully raise the frame until it clicks back into place.

The Vivitar flash should work on the FM2N. Have you tried both the hot-shoe connection and the PC cord? One or the other may have a bad connection.

I have a Nikon FM2n camera as it has a 1/250 sync speed I bought this about 8 mnonths ago and the 2 problems I have with it are that when viewing a backlit subhject the viewfinder shows lots of dirt on the screen. I have tried cleaning the viewfinder and the mirror but it is still dirty. The other point is that I have a vivitar Flash which does not seem to link or sync with the camera body. Are there specific flash units which I must purchase to limk with the camnera body

Dont worry. Although Titan signifies toughness and relialility, Nikon had managed to come out with an hybrid aluminum shutter which claims to be more reliable than just from the choice of metalic-composite alone. The resulting product is more reliable and stable shutter. The Nikon F4 (and F5) are the single digit F that use a non-titanium shutter and the technology was passed on to the midrange Nikon models. In theory, the first batch of these smooth surface shutter of Nikon FM2(n) starts between 1986/88. The "N" infront of the serial number indicates that. The FM2/T also uses the same shutter.

Many congratulations for your site. I found all the answers I needed (and more)on it. I am a Nikon FM2(n)'s owner that I bought used in 2004. I am almost sure it is one of the most recent ones, because it has smooth surface shutter curtain blades (not a beehive type patterns used on earlier ones). The serial number of mine is N8616709. It remains to me only a pair of doubts: is the smooth surface shutter made of titanium or aluminium alloy? Can you tell me the year of production, according to the serial #. Many, many thanks and greetings. Giuseppe Ragona

Hi Jose: As far as I know, the FM2 with 1/200 flash synch is a very good camera. I would not worry. rick :)=

I recently bought an original FM2 the one with the x200 for flash sync. It is working nice and I plan to use until it break or else. My question is and I now that due to the x200, ones the shutter goes must like it the camera goes, how respectable is this camera among enthusiasts or it's only a sentimental collection item. Thanks.

Just bought a clean looking FM10 for eighty bucks used but found the shutter will sometimes release as I turn the shutter speed knob for a final speed sellection change before I even decide to push the shutter relese button myself. Have any of you heard of this and is it hopefully cheap or even easy to fix myself with light tools? Thanks for any response Steve
