This camera has a very high build quality and feel. The shutter is very crisp, good viewfinder and slit image. However... if you use your left eye, the rewind lever gets into your face. The rewind lever HAS to be slightly opened to fire the shutter. If you close the rewind lever all the way in, it locks the shutter button. Actually it's a smart design, unless you use your left eye like I do...

For the price I paid this was a good find. Wind lever & internal gearing as I suspected were jammed with corrosion & are not working. But this was bought for "display" only....and the camera body was in good cosmetic condition. Was able to attach another German lens , which looks much like an original looks. Very satisfied with this "display" piece.

The Fm2 is a true photographers camera. In this great age of digital, where so many functions on a current camera can control how the photographer can see and "manipulate" an image, the FM2 manages to bring out the pure talent in capturing light. The FM2, through simple metering, allows the photographers to practice their craft with the basics of focus, shutter speed, aperture and a film's ISO. Combine these elements with light and a moment and you'll see why the Nikon FM2 will give you everything you need to enjoy being a photographer.

This camera is amazing. A truly manual camera, the batteries only operate the metering system, so if your batteries die and you are out on a shoot, you can use a hand meter and the camera will continue to operate. The camera itself is well designed and sturdy. The body is a joy to hold and operate. It has a field of depth preview switch which is extremely handy if you'd like to preview what your image will look like. There is a self timer, for self-portraits and a hot shoe attachment for flash units with flash sync up to 1/250th of a second. It has an F-mount which takes the marvelous Nikkor lenses as well as many other lenses with an attachment to modify the mount. These lenses are pretty common and excellent in quality, so you are assured of getting them relatively inexpensively for what you are receiving. This camera, if cared for properly, should last you a very long time. It is suitable for beginners, professionals, students and just camera lovers alike; it is a camera that can easily grow with you to suit your needs. If you don't have any desire for automatic focus and truly enjoy using a manual camera or desire to learn one, I highly recommend the Nikon FM2n, you cannot go wrong.Read full review
Since I’ve purchased this fine camera I’ve gone through four film rolls. It’s incredibly well-serviced and I definitely expect to use it for many, many years to come. Even the self timing feature works really well.
