Nikon FM3A 35mm Film Camera

The FM3A offers aperture-priority autoexposure and through-the-lens flash exposure control. Film speed can be set via the DX codes on the film canisters. That's pretty much it for automation. Controls are a very traditional "two-dial" classic manual camera setup. You turn the lens aperture ring (Dial 1) to adjust aperture. You turn the shutter speed dial (Dial 2) on the top deck to adjust shutter speed. You turn the lens focus ring to focus (this doesn't rate a dial number in the autofocus world).

Pros The creative beauty of working with the camera.
Cons Requires more than the ability to point and shoot.
Recommended it? Yes

The Nikon FM3A is the direct descendant of the original Nikon FM which first appeared on scene in 1977. That founding member of this branch of the Nikon dynasty possessed some very significant capabilities that have been genetically passed on to this latest version. What keeps this manual Nikon in...

Recommended it? Yes
