I just got my FM-10, and so far I am liking it. My only question is whether/how I can mount some Cannon Lenses on it? My dad has a few old lenses from his old Cannon, but I am pretty sure they will not fit the F-mount. Where could I buy a converter, and will the picture quality be affected by it? Also, I am wondering where I could find an inexpensive close-up macro lense. I have not been too pleaseed with the std. lense's macro shots, and would like to be able to take them at about a 6 inch to 1 foot range. Also, I read somewhere that Nikon FM-10s can not use non-AI lenses. Is their a way to get around that, and what exactly is the AI feature? I looked at the lense, and I think it has to do with having the apature blades recessed durring focusing, but I am not sure. Thanks

mike moran: A copy of the User's Manual in PDF format for the Nikon FM SLR camera can be downloaded at: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/manuals/fmfefa/fm.pdf Just curious, how could you possibly miss that link at the bottom section of the index page... unless of course, you never read all those pages in detail... huh ? Peace !

Lauri: A single multiple exposure operation needs not has to go to the extend of making one full stop exposure compensation; perhaps a few overlapping exposures may require that degree of adjustment. Next, when operating in MANUAL mode, AFTER take the meter reading correctly and determine the number of exposures you would require in your shot - similar exposure compensation can be adjusted by: 1) using the ASA in manual tuning to fool the meter e.g. original ASA 100 - change it to ASA80 is equivalent to 1/4 stop exposure compensation; 2) using the aperture to make the neccessary adjustment to fine tune your exposure e.g. original exposure reading is 1/125 sec f/8 - change your exposure setting to 1/125 sec while turning the aperture on your aperture ring mid (or 1/3) between f/5.6 - f/8 on the lens (1/2 stop compensation) or; 3) in the case of requiring a full stop adjustment, you may also alter the shutter speed by 1 stop. for an example: original exposure reading is 1/125 sec f/8 - change to 1/60 sec f/8. Naturally, when you are operating in AUTO mode, the ASA adjustment, turning the aperture ring will also works - but Nikon has designed the exposure compensation dial mainly for the purpose of fine tuning exposure control when operating in Auto exposure mode (be it for backlit, highlight/shadow control or multiple exposures etc.). Cheers.

James O'Connell: Yes. Nikon FM3A is the ONLY mechancial Nikon FM models that provides TTL OTF Flash exposure control. That is what has made it so special to us.

I have a question concerning multiple exposure... In this sites Fm3a's instruction manual, in the section of "multiple exposure" it says that after each multiple exposure one has to compensate -1 etc..., and in the section of "compensation" it says that you can compensate the picture only when you are operatin in AUTO mode. And here come my question..: Can you use multiple exposure in MANUAL mode, if you can,how do you compensate the picture??? Can you use the compensation in MANUAL mode ???? Thank you...

i want to step back in time and trade my modern auto nikon for a more rugged body,for travel and to return to the simplicity of operation that older cameras have. i am seek of trying to remember numerous commands and relying on a cheat sheet.
i am looking at the nikon fm series..fm2 maybe. what is the metering like as the one benefit of a modern camera is excellent metering and the option of spot, matrix etc. also i have heard that the manual focus on the fm is a disadvantage if you wear glasses.
any advice!

Nick and Dave, One way to get the approximate date of production of your camera is to mail the serial number to webmaster@nikono-image.com with a request. Best regards, Lars
