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 remembered a few years ago, I was just like you thinking of getting a that cheap motorized winder for my FM2n. I dropped the idea when I came to this site - read and found out that old work horse MD-12 was almost 20 years old now ! It is still the current Motor drive unit caters for the Nikon mid compact SLR cameras. Well, something that can withstand the test of time of two decades must be very good, right ? So I bought a MD-12 and never regret what I have decided upon....3. From : Ulf Capman (ulfhoffman99@yahoo.com)

Mr. Huang G: Thanks for your kind feeback. On a second thought I think that was not a good idea too, it sounds just like using a pair of re-conditioned tyres on a brand new Mustang car. I really enjoy this website, I have picked up many useful idea with my camera. It is a GREAT NIKON WEB RESOURCES !4. From : Huang Guoqiang (hguoqiang@yahoo.com.sg)

Ulf Capman : About two years ago, I bought this Soligor motor winder and found that it was not suitable because of its erratic operational speed. Eventually, a roll of film snatched into two in the film chamber. I returned it to the shop and bought a NIkon motor winder that I used until now without any problem.5.

Does anyone has any experience with the SOLIGOR power winder ? I have a FM2/T which I treasure very much but I need a motor winder just like the MD12 (no rewind feature too). This item was offered to me quite cheaply and I am not sure whether it will work with my camera. If you have any information relating to its function and concerning its reliability, please post your comments on this board. Thank You.6. From : Jerrie (jerriorberman@yahoo.com)

Bennie: Although the FM2 and FM2n looks and feel identical but the internal mechanism can be very different and thus I doubt it can be upgraded into a new FM2n spec. However, since it uses the same essenatial body shell, I don't entirely write off possibility of someone trying to replace everything internal and externally to make it a FM2n camera but why would someone want to do something like that because, it is so much cheaper to buy a used body of FM2n.

Bill Lennox: Firstly, over the years, Nikon has produced two series of SLR cameras - either they are mechanical or electronic bodies. With the new FM3A, they finally managed to incorporate TTL flash into a mechanical SLR camera. FM series model(s) prior to that only provides a standard JIS-type sync terminal which enables you to use any AUTO flash in Auto/Manual modes with the camera. So, you don't need a TTL flash with a FM2n. Virtually, all Nikon flash can be use with your FM camera (use directly or via a sync cord). Here is a very useful link for you to understand the various non-AF flash models Nikon have produced over the years, it begins with the bulb flash: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonf3ver2/flash/sb1tosb21/index.htm8.

Exposure error by two stops ? Well, as long as the meter is measuring any given scene in a picture frame, the exposure from any position in a center-weighted metering will not to vary so greatly unless of cause there is bright spot (s) in the picture frame such as the sun. Every metering system has its strength and weaknesses but I think just by concluding the camera metering system is faulty is being too conclusive. Run a series of test with another camera side by side, that should be easy because you only need to check exposures and other factors are not important in the test. I have a few Nikon FMs (FM, FM2n and FM2/T) and as far as I am concerned, I have not heard and experienced any of such incidents. Kim, KR. Cheers.9. From : keism@box43.pl (keism@box43.pl)
