Nikon FM2 - Nikon Nikkor-Q 135mm f/1.3 Lens - 35mm Film Camera
Year Released: 1982
Fun Fact: The renowned photojournalist, Steve McCurry, used a Nikon FM2 to frame “The Afghan Girl”! The stunning image of 12-year old Sharbat Gula appeared on the cover of National Geographic in June 1985.
The Nikon FM2 is an advanced semi-professional, interchangeable lens, 35 mm film, single-lens reflex (SLR) camera. It was manufactured by Nippon Kogaku K. K. (today: Nikon Corporation) in Japan from 1982 to 2001. The camera's precision-tapered, high-strength vertical metal shutter blades were fabricated originally of lightweight titanium, while the mirror/shutter mechanism rides on self-lubricating bearings. The mirror linkage uses the same mechanism found on Nikon's professional F2, with some modern improvements, such as additional foam dampeners, designed to further reduce effects of vibration and mirror bounce! The FM2 also features Nikon's close tolerance assembly and minimal space lubrication, meaning that it will reliably operate in temperature extremes of −40 °C to +50 °C (this works nicely for any photographer working in the unpredictable climate of this world).
The FM2 was a reliable, durable mechanical camera in a time of ever-increasing electronic automation, and often, less durable construction. The FM2 was not designed for budget-minded snap-shooters who would never bother to learn to use shutter-speeds and aperture settings; rather, it was intended to appeal to serious photographers who demanded a tough, rugged camera. Nippon Kogaku believed that advanced photographers were not interested in every possible automated bell and whistle, but rather in high quality and precision workmanship.
This FM2 is in fantastic condition and comes fitted with a Nikon Nikkor-Q 135mm f/1.3 SLR lens, which is also in stunning condition. This camera has been cleaned and fully inspected, and tested for functionality; and is covered under Film Scouts' 30 day warranty.
