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 just picked up a Nikon FM2n for almost nothing figuring if it didn't work, so what. A few dollars wasted or I could just give it to my favorite repair depot to use for parts. It's in excellent cosmetic shape but, the shutter doesn't seem to work, when changing the shutter speed there is a definate mechanical 'sound' that I have never heard on my previous Nikon cameras or my present F3's. Maybe i'm doing something wrong because of my inexperience with this model? It has the titanium beehive shutter and the serial # is N 7345971..
By the way, this site is awesome, I don't even have most of these cameras and don't intend to buy any of them but it's interesting reading about them nonetheless.2. From : Chuck Kershner (clintoncourier@earthlink.net)

My college son reports the film advance lever on the FM I loaned him loosened, fell off, and is lost. Does ANYONE know of a repair shop that can still provide this part and do the fix? I checked with Nikon in Melville and they stock the film REWIND knob but no longer the film ADVANCE lever. Grateful for any guidance.3. From : rick oleson (rick_oleson@yahoo.com)

you point out : "(infra-red film may require more precaution when used)"
I've succesfully used kodak HIE in an FM3a without taping up the film confirmation window.6. From : rick (rick_oleson@yahoo.com)

Hi, I have this old Nikon camera, the only number i found on it are on the back under the lever to take the picture. It says FM 2543418. Now i've looked at all kinds of pictures and I cannot really place it with one particular picture as this one is different. It is completely black. It does have the extra dial for the speed of the picture. (I'm sorry I know nothign about these cameras, I'm looking to understand them better so I can sell them) I was wondering if someone could help me and tell me where I can go to find out what kind of camera this is. It is in VERY well condition as well as all of the accessories. But this camera does not have anything written on it other than Nikon above the lens' in the front of the camera, and on the back is reads FM 2543418. I'd appreciate any help..Thank YOU Lisa8.

a question on somwhere FM somewhere. Nikon MD-15 is NOT usable with FM class camera. But the Nikon FA - which the MD-15 was specificaly made for the camera, can accept MD-12 but at a slower film advance rate (I think drop from 3.3 fps down to 2.8 fps). still ...it is a good combination.9.

Hi Toby: If your end product is going to be a .JPG file, then it might be better, and would certainly be more efficient, to shoot in digital. You can shoot film and scan it with excellent results, but the film is an unnecessary added step in the process if you don't want physical prints in the end.10.

Hi Curious: The best motor for the FM2N is the MD-12. I don't know if the MD-15 can be used on it or not....
