Description:
The Nikon FM is one of those cameras that earns its reputation by being exactly what it claims to be. Released in 1977, it was Nikon's answer to the growing demand for a compact, well-built manual SLR that could keep up with professionals without the bulk of the F2. The all-mechanical shutter means it works in any conditions, with or without batteries, which is a reassurance you simply don't get with electronically controlled cameras. Paired with the Nikon F-mount, it has access to one of the largest lens libraries ever made, and the 28mm f3.5 Nikkor is a sharp, compact wide angle lens well suited to street photography, travel, architecture, and any situation where you want a broader field of view than a standard lens provides.

Due to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters we can't guarantee that the light meter still works. This isn't an issue as the camera will function perfectly without batteries. To meter a scene before taking a picture we recommend using an external light-meter or for you to take our online course that will teach you how to use a film camera without the use of any external tools.
