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 Teus: The problem here would be the focus at the viewing screen not being in agreement with that at the film plane. There are 2 possible causes, either the focusing screen is out of position or the mirror is out of position. Since hte FM does not have a removable screen, the mirror is the more likely source of the problem.
The mirror, in its down position, rests on a little stop at the side wall of the mirror box. Look to see if there might be a bit of dirt or a film chip lying on top of this stop. If there is, it will stop the mirror slightly high, which will shorten the distance from the lens to the focusing screen. If you then focus on the screen, the lens will be farther from the film than it is from the screen, and therefore it will focus slightly closer on the film than what you saw on the screen. If you don't find something like this, it's probably best to take it in for service. good luck rick :)=2. From : Teus (teus@madshrimps.be)

Hi. I'm the proud owner of an FM and a f/1.2 lens, but i seems to have a focus calibration error. more then once, i've made a photo at f/2 or f/2.8, properly focused. yet, the focus is about 10cm closer then I want to it to be. a bit embarassing
I can't really find any usefull on google about calibrating my camera or lens, anyone here can help me a bit with that?

To: Darran Re: ISO setting on flash with FM3a I just tried this on my FM3a, using ISO 100 film (DX setting) and a SB-28DX. I did have to set the ISO manually. I haven't tried it with other flash units. Like you, I was a little surprised at this result!4. From : rick oleson (rick_oleson@yahoo.com)

Hi Bee: You might try picking someone off of this list: http://acecam.com/srindex.html Depending on where the fungus is, and how long it's been there, this could be a simple cleaning job or an expensive replacement of optical parts.5. From : bee (bee2905@yahoo.com)

Hi All I have an FM3a and I was wondering if the camera is supposed to transmits film ISO speed via the hotshoe to the flash. I have to set the ISO on flash every time. The instruction manual does not mention anything about setting the ISO on the flash. Thanks for any help you can offer. Regards Darron Fenton7. From : rick oleson (rick_oleson@yahoo.com)

Hi MagicJ: The FM is Nikon mount. I don't mean to sound flippant, but that's what it is. For purposes of buying a Nikon-mount lens, you should know that it's an AI model, but if you're looking for an adapter for M42 lenses that doesn't matter - all Nikons use the same bayonet.8.

After fooling for some years with cheapy digitals, I've gone back to my favorite film camera, a FM2n. I want to get some lenses for it, but have long forgotten which 'class' of Nikon lenses were made for it. I'd be gratful for any help with this. Is it ok to ask that you email me at nhoop616@yahoo.com? Thanks, Nat Oxford, AR10.

Hi Bob: There should be a guide for battery insertion either molded into the plastic side things or as a label stuck onto one side. You can see a photo of the holder with batteries in it here: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonfmseries/fm/basic.htm
