i had some questions about the SB-80DX flash, does anyone have it, can it be remotely triggered without another flash, just with the test button? the biggest question is will it go off when i press the shutter release button?? how do i look for flashes that will do this?? thanks for helping a newbie. e-mail me, please. timtimbruno@yahoo.com

I have a Nikon FM that I bought in 1979. The battery holder is cracked around the bottom of the holder itself. When there are batteries in it, it shorts out and kills the batteries plus the meter isn’t working because of it. I have taken the bottom plate off hoping to remove the battery casing and somehow repair it but it's one of those (you can't there from here) things. Didn't really want to disassemble the whole thing. Anyone have a suggestion or tech layout for the Nikon FM camera? thx Steve stevetek2003@hotmail.com

I have had an FM2 for about 20 years and just purchased a Nikon Sb-50DX flash. I realize that this flash has more features than I can use but, well, I guess I like Nikon equipment. My question refers to TTL mode. When the flash is installed on the camera and in TTL mode the light in the camera viewfinder blinks. The flash seems perfectly happy. In fact it blinks when I have shutter speeds outside of guidelines and fires as expected. But am I benfiting in any way from this mode? As I understood from the salesperson, I would still have flash compensation (ie in the .2 seconds before the shutter opens the flash would adjust output for the current conditions.) The Ready light does not blink, which it apparently does when the flash is fired at 100% capacity (to alert you that lighting may have been too low). Of course that may simply be because it has no indication of lens aperature. Again, is there any benfit to using such a flash in TTL mode on an FM2 or might I just as well use manual mode (or better yet return the flash for a cheaper model)?

I got a Nikon FM3A (barely used) at a good price.There is a little gap between the rewind knob and the ISO/DX dial(about 1 or 1.5 mm).According to all pictures I see(I know, they can be deceiving) none of this camera has this gap. I posted this in other forum and got mixed replies,some have it,some don't, some say it could be a safety catch from where the FG model ? used to have it????. Can someone give more insight on this? Is it normal or a defect from manufacturer? It does not affect the operation of the camera,but being under warranty yet, I'm a bit picky for a lovely camera like this one. Thanks in advance for your reply. Robert

Hello fellow FM fans I just got myself a FM 3a and the first thing i noticed was the screen which is much brighter than my FM2n. Can anybody advice whether the K3 screen of FM3a can be used on the FM2n? I have heard about the Beattie screen but it not easily available. The FM3a is much easier to use but i still prefer my FM2n. Regards Peter

To Stuart Scott: Further manipulation of flash intensity should be possible with the ISO settings at the flash. Therefore, if you use 100 ISO film, set 400 ISO at the flash for -2 EV correction. Rgds. Hermann Graf
