Hello,

I am looking for FOCUSING SCREEN for Nikon FM (an early version, where you need to take the camera apart to replace it).

If anyone has one of these in good or new condition, please message me.

Thanks, Robert

Hi Vincent:

These are pretty solid cameras, there's not a lot that I would expect to be concerned about. Check that the meter display in the finder is steady and does not jump or flicker, and that there are no signs of damage or abuse or excessive dirt on the camera ... in particular open it up and inspect the shutter blades (both cocked and released) for any sign of damage, wrinkling etc; run the shutter through all of its speeds to make sure they sound okay. Beyond that, it doesn't seem to me that the FM3A is an old enough camera to be a very high risk.

Hi

I am planning to purchase a used FM3a. I hope someone would be kind enough to advise me on the things to check on the camera before I commit to the purchase. I would appreciate it if you can advise me how to perform the checks as well.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Best regards
Vincent

Hi Kellie:

Yes, the FM series has a light meter that reads the light coming in through the lens. It indicates the light level in the viewfinder by means of a series of LED lights (+, 0, -) at the side of the screen. The camera does not automatically make its own adjustments - you manually adjust the aperture and shutter speed controls until the center (0) LED lights to indicate that the settings are correct.

You can see more information on this here:

Hi I was wondering if someone could tell me if the Nikon SLR FM series has a light gauge that corresponds with the appature and shutter speed? Can be seen in the viewfinder?
Thanks

Hi Anne:

The most common cause of the back sticking shut is the foam rubber light seals around the edges rotting and turning to glue. I would try again, applying a firm grip on the back while holding the rewind knob up. Don't pull the knob with excessive force - if you pull too hard you can bend the latch linkage and then it WON'T release no matter how hard you pull. The resistance in the camera will be against the back opening, not against the knob coming up.

If this fails, the latch might already be bent. In this case, if I recall correctly, it should be possible to peel back the leatherette just forward of the latch seam on the left end of the camera body. Under this you should find a small panel held by a couple of screws. Removing this will expose the latch, and you'll be able to release it by hand. Watch out for little loose parts when the panel comes off.

If a bent latch is the cause of it locking up, then you will still have the problem. The latch can be straightened, but it's up under the top cover so that will have to come off to reach it. This may not be something that you want to do yourself. If that's the case, there is a repair service directory at www.acecam.com where you should be able to find someone to help you out.

Hi,
I just found an old Nikon FM2 in my house, and when I twist the lock lever, I can lift the rewind knob, but the camera back doesn't pop open. I tried to pull it open with my fingers (while the knob is still raised), but it won't budge. Can you help me?

Hi Torsten:

I don't have an FM3A, but the Nikon logo plate on the front of the prism of my FM2N is plastic.
