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.
This site is specifically created for some of these great SLR bodies by Nikon, its creator. Please don't mail me other than constructive suggestions or rectifying mistakes found in this site, thanking you.

If your intention is to dispose your Nikon camera(s) or its accompanying accessories or looking for a used model or any of its system components, please use a separate section with a higher volume of traffic Free Trade Zone site instead.

I was given an opportunity to choose between a Nikon FM and a Nikon FE. I took the electronic camera but many of my friends at the school advised me reverting back to the mechanical camera as the FE may have some parts supply problems. But the shop assistant is charging me another USD75-00 now for the change, does anyone of you think it worths the extra ? Both bodies are just fine except the FM has some brassing at the corner of the bottom section. Please use board to reply, many thanks.3. From : Willie (willjonathan99@yahoo.com)

**Jon Doughty**: There were close to 50 MANUAL FOCUS Nikon SLR camera models being produced since 1959 and that figure excludes special production models. You can check it at: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/htmls/knowledge_main.htm#SLRs so it is quite difficult for anyone of us to help unless you can give some clues and features of your camera without providing an image for it. An alternative is to check thumbnails at: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/htmls/models/index.htm if you cannot find it here, there is nowhere that you can find on the Internet (just an impression of how highly that I am rating the rich content hosted in this website). By the way, I think I should also take this opportunity thanking those that have contributed their effort , making this AWESOME Nikon site possible for all of us. Lastly, this forum on its own can also be considered as a GREAT Message Board, highly functional, effective and educational for me to pick up so many Nikon Stuffs in such a short period of time. How I wish there are more websites such as these on the Internet. Cheers.4. From : JWoods (centurywoods@yahoo.com)

Dear Andrew: By solely setting the shuter speed to "125" does not always give you a pefect exposure: There are two sections in this malaysian site that should be able to help you understand some basic how to achieve a good exposure with your camera: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonfmseries/fm2n/fm2manual/index2.htm#setspeed and
http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonfmseries/fm2n/fm2manual/index.htm
I would suggest you to read through all the content of the Instruction Manual which has taken the creator a painstaking process to enable it to be possible for user like you:http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/fototech/apershutter/index.htm Further, since you have mentioned the lens used is a Nikon Series E lens, you can also make use of resources here to gather more information how to make good use of it for your photography: http://mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/emfgfg20/eserieslenses/index.htm5.

Teri Trevino: I may sound stupid, but can you try press the shutter release button (B) button as shown at this page: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonfmseries/fm10/htmls/index1.htm IF the shutter release can be press down and release the shutter, then you should able to advance the film. Manual focus SLRs work this way and it is different from AE camera which has automatic film advance mechanism built in. If it still doesn't work, remove the film (if you have problem handling film removal, check this page (http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonfmseries/fm10/htmls/index2.htm); Just press the film rewind button locates at the base plate and you should be able to rewind the film by hand using the film rewind crank.6.

My daughter and I are having a problem loading film in her Nikon FM 10. We can get the film loaded, but we then we cannot move the film advance lever. I think the camera is in a lock position, but we can't figure out how to unlock it. If anyone can offer any help it would be appreciated. Thanks.

To Ken: It is probably the same thing as with Beattie screens for the FM2n: provided the FM3A's screen fits into the FM2n, the metering must be corrected because the amount of light then reaching the metering cell is different. I have no idea how many exposure units need to be taken into account.
