A Modern-Day Classic (the Nikon FM2N)

byHoward_Creech Aug 19, 1999
60 Helpfuls 61 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 4 Comments
Pros Absolute control, tough as nails, a workhorse imaging tool.
Cons No automatic features, limited flash options.
Recommended it? Yes

People are fond of saying, "They don't make them like they used to" and when this phrase is applied to cameras it is generally true. From the very first 35mm camera (built by Leica and available in the early 1920's) mechanical cameras were engineering marvels. They offered an almost hand built... Read full review »

Nikon FM2 - Rugged Dependability

bystonehousellc Apr 12, 2000
42 Helpfuls 43 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros All Manual Operation
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

Since its introduction in the late seventies, the FM line from Nikon has been one of the top 35mm SLRs. While intended to be competition for non-professional lines from other manufacturers, it is probably among professionals where the FM and its successor, the FM2 have found their greatest...

For Those Times When an Autofocus, Automatic, Full rewind, multi TTL Camera Just Won';t Do

Pros Manually operated camera, no batteries necessary. It';s a Nikon.
Cons --
Recommended it? Yes

The FM2 is a classic. This is one of two manual cameras that Nikon currently manufactures, the other being the FM10, a plastic version of the FM2 often found in third world countries (assuming they can?t afford the FM2). The FM10 can now be found here in the US as a gray market item.

Pros Fine images, good mechanics, nice size
Cons May be too compact for some users
Recommended it? Yes

I have had my Nikon FM2 and FM2T (titanium body) for about ten or twelve years, but for the last two years and up until yesterday, I had put it aside to play around with my Canon Elph (read my review). Yesterday, I took the old FM2T out for a spin at my niece's first birthday and fell in love with... Read full review »

Nikon FM and sisters

bylawman67 Jan 26, 2004
21 Helpfuls 22 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 7 Comments
Pros Small, light, strong, simple, look ma no batteries!
Cons More expensive than FE series on the used market
Recommended it? Yes

First off, this is not a review of the FM2T per-se, but rather a broad review of the entire FM series, which remain extremely popular, and have minor, though potentially significant differences. On today's used market, differences in mechanical and cosmetic condition are likely more significant... Read full review »

A precision instrument requiring a precision photographer

Pros Compact, Lightweight, Reliable, "Look Ma, no batteries"
Cons None whatsoever, provided you are the right user for this camera
Recommended it? Yes

Wow, the first review (well, not counting all those FM esries reviews under the Titanium model).

From 1977 until 1991 Nikon's FM series were the premiere mechanical,, manual exposure cameras on the market. The various FM models were aimed at three distinct classes of photographers; the... Read full review »

Pros Great Results, Fully Manual, It will last forever
Cons Heavy, Expensive
Recommended it? Yes

I inherited an old Nikon FM from my grandfather about a year ago. My dad has a Nikon FM2N, and they are basically identical (shapes of some buttons are different, there's no shutter lock on the FM2N, and on the newer FM2N the fastest exposure time is 1/2000th of a sec as opposed to 1/1000th of a...

Duct Tape, Sorrells, and the FM2!

byRuprecht Oct 20, 1999
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Very durable, takes great pictures, doesn't rely on computers
Cons Heavy, manual
Recommended it? Yes

What do all of these have in common? They're utterly dependable, they work in the harshest conditions, and you'll never wear them out! I can't say enough good things about the FM2. I bought mine before my first climb of Mt McKinley (20,000 ft). Even after purchasing it I debated long and hard over... Read full review »

Pros Solid, fully manual
Cons fully manual
Recommended it? Yes

I've had my FM2 since 1982 (it's actually the predecessor model to the FM2N; the primary difference is a lower flash sync speed). It began as the companion to my 1980 FM, spent some time on the shelf while I took 7 years in Olympus land (seduced by the OM-4T with multi-spot metering, and the 24mm... Read full review »

(Updated to include the opinions of the original reviewer and his wife)

Why the heck would a tech-savvy couple want to get a 35mm camera in the age where everything is going digital? Well, they did, and got a 35mm all manual camera, the Nikon FM2n, and here is their thoughts on the... Read full review »
