Sun, 16 Jul 2006 19:15:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bromo33333 - (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,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lawman67 - 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...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sjg98 - I have been taking pictures as a hobby for some time now, however, mostly digital. I came to the decision recently that I needed a mechanical film camera. I wanted this because I didnt want to get in a pinch if my battery died, especially becuase I was...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mclarenf1 - I purchased my FM2n some seven years ago after trading it in for a pair of Nikon F301's. I wasn't interested in auto everything cameras at the time, and I wanted something that didn't rely on batteries, was manual but could have a motor drive fitted if...

Fri, 10 Aug 2001 00:07:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wdasilva - Few things are still to be said about FM2n. It has been a consolidated, well-known piece of received technology for the last 20 years. It delivers us much more resources than those required to cross the frontiers of professionalism coming from advanced...

Tue, 24 Apr 2001 01:39:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mhchin - "The more things change, the more they stay the same." Even digital, auto-everything cameras these days still have overrides to let the user manually select exposure settings. Why? Where is the art and creativity in aim - point - click with all the...

Sun, 25 Mar 2001 08:41:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author soothsayer - 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...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bdb55 - 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...

Wed, 14 Feb 2001 09:02:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author latakiahaze - The Nikon FM2 is not a camera for the casual photographer, it's a camera for the professional or serious amateur.

I'm very much a traditionalist when it comes to cameras - yes automation has its place - a reliable autofocus system can be a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author SomeNYCGuy - Good question. And as with all good questions, the answer is 'Depends'.

It's been written many, many times: This is a good solid camera. No question in that. But, lets go through the major selling points first:

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stonehousellc - 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...

Thu, 23 Mar 2000 01:45:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dd-b - 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...

Tue, 1 Feb 2000 22:34:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bigrufus - I have had a Nikon F since 1970. It's travelled a good part of the world with me and has never once failed, never been in for repairs. I estimate I've taken 50,000 pictures with it. However, as it (and me) aged, I thought it might be wise to purchase a...

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 23:06:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gregory-v - I purchased a Nikon FM2 new in 1982 for around $230. At that time I was a beginning amateur photographer; my first SLR was a battered Nikkormat FT2 I purchased used in Los Angeles (for too much money, I might add!)

Well, it's 18 years later...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scottfs - Let's face it; a Nikon is an expensive camera, and you have to be a dedicated photographer to really justify the cost of this camera.

That said, it's also true that this camera will probably last several decades. This camera is made to be...

Thu, 19 Aug 1999 15:32:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Howard_Creech - 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...
