Unboxing Nikon FM2

The Nikon FM2 is an iconic film camera loved by many. Here is my replacement for a now deceased chrome and black companion. Not too many things compare to the raw versatility of an FM2 coupled with a 50mm standard lens, preferably a f1.2. No battery required.

@selenealmeorn Thanks for watching. Of course I had nothing to do with the beauty, just shelled da bucks.

@jfooj! Thank you for your praise~ I don' mind carrying heavy camera's but I think a light weight camera will be easier to carry. My nikon fm2 comes with a nikkor 50mm f1.4 Lents so I guess it's not heavy as you have described. Thank you so much for the help~

We still have a fully working Nikon FM (1979) despite having the shutter button bent following an accident - the Nikon FE/ FM series were the last of the classic Nikon's before they lost top slot to Canon and Nikon's began their slide to 'plastic' cameras beginning with the FA. Such a pity that Nikon have to wheel out crap like the V1 & J1 nowadays !

wow so beautiful like brand new from factory

@ShootsDenBrah Yup. Sorta freaked because the counter didn't return to zero when I opened the back. It wound up being some lightseal material blocking the mechanism, easy fix. Awesome camera.
