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.

Hi - I have an FM camera with 3 lenses: 300 mm Nikkor H Auto, a Vivitar 28 - 90 mm Series 1 Macro, and the standard 50 mm that came with it. I would like to sell the lot, but am unsure as to value. Have searched to no avail and found this to be the most informational site. Thanks for any input.4. From : Jennifer (jennvettek@yahoo.com)

I am trying to decide between the FM2 and FM 10 for my daughter who needs a film camera for college. Which is better, and why? She needs a fully manual film camera. Any help would be great, as this will be a christmas gift.5. From : mike forster (m42@comcast.net)

Have a black Nikon FM, purchased new in 1978. I used it couple months back. Put it away, took it out and the film advance lever wont cock the shutter, the multiple exposure slider wont advance it either. No film in camera...the sutter button does move down when it is pressed, it is aligned with the white dash mark. I took the batteries out...is this the problem? Thanks for any help..mike in spokane6.

Hi!
I've just received my second FM3a. Compared to an identical model I used a year ago, this one here is in pristine condition but the exposure wheel seems to feel differently. Going towards longer exposures, each stop locks in with a solid click. Going the other way, it's more like a dryer double click - a first, quieter click when the old position is left and a second, louder sound at the new position. It's not a single resistance like in the clockwise direction but two resistances... sorry, english is not my native language.
I hardly remember how my old FM3a felt - all I recall is, that the wheel was a bit on the stiff side, without being unpleasant.
Would you say this behavior is normal? Or could there be something broken?
Best,
Torsten7. From : Rick Oleson (rick_oleson@yahoo.com)

Hi Andrew:
My notes say that the screw in the hub of the FM2 self timer is a regular right-hand thread - turn counter-clockwise to remove. Nikon sometimes used LocTite on their screws, which can make them difficult to remove... heat from a soldering iron tip applied to the head of the screw sometimes will loosen the thread locker, if it doesn't melt part of the camera first.8.

Hi Pam: If you have to shoot action in low light without a flash, set the ISO on your camera as high as it will go. Program auto mode will usually do a decent job, but if you set the camera to Aperture Priority and then set the lens aperture at its largest setting (remember, with apertures, a smaller f/number is a larger aperture - 4.0 is larger than 5.6, etc), this will ensure that you have the fastest possible shutter speed at all times.
If you still get blur working this way, there's not much more you could have done about it.9. From : andrew (ayurkovsky@hotmail.com)

I'm looking for help in installing a replacement self-timer lever for a Nikon FM2. The old one broke off. I can't figure out how to get the new one on. There seems to be a screw where the old one was attached, but I can't remove it. Any suggestions?10.
