Product Description

 
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).

The Dual Personality FM3A--- Nikon s New Retro-Tech 35mm SLR

Date of Review:  Jul 22, 2001
The Bottom Line: Nikon s new FM3A combines the best features of the classic FM2n and the discontinued FE/FE2

Is It Already A CLASSIC?

Date of Review:  Nov 24, 2003
The Bottom Line: To really learn Photography, this is THE tool.
Review: 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...

How did THAT get into my camera bag?

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2003
The Bottom Line: Fun and easy to use, unbreakable, and compatible with all your high tech Nikon gear. It's hard to beat.
Review: If you had asked me 3 or 4 years ago if I would ever consider buying a mechanical camera the answer would have been a resounding no! I have grown so accustomed to having the ability to fully automate practically every aspect of the photographic...
