15 Wonderful Shots Taken by Using Nikon FM2 Cameras

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 original camera was released with some incremental
IMPROVEMENTS

(such as a higher flash-sync speed) in 1984 and this later version is
commonly referred to as the FM2n (for 'new') although both versions are labelled as the FM2
on the camera body.

The FM2 originally used an advanced Nikon-design, metal-bladed, bearing-mounted,
vertical-travel focal plane SHUTTER

with a (then unheard-of) speed range of
1 to 1/4000th second plus Bulb, plus a fast flash X-sync of 1/200th second.

The FM2 is a member of the classic Nikon compact F-series SLRs and was built using the
same material - copper-aluminium-silicon (copper-silumin) alloy - as the earlier Nikon FM

(introduced in 1977) and FE (1978) cameras. The Nikon FE2 and FA of 1983 also had this
silumin alloy construction, along with the limited production Nikon FM3A of 2001,
although the design of the housing differs from model to model.

Here's a collection of 15 wonderful shots taken by using Nikon FM2 cameras. You can also find
