This legendary camera is world-renowned for its high-speed, vertical-travel focal-plane shutter, which was the first to achieve a top speed of 1\/4000s and a fast 1\/250s flash sync without requiring a battery for operation. Built with a rugged copper-silicon-aluminum alloy chassis, the FM2 is designed to withstand extreme conditions, from the freezing Arctic to the humid tropics. Its purely mechanical heart ensures that even if your batteries fail, the camera will continue to fire accurately at every shutter speed, making it the ultimate tool for reliable, go-anywhere analog photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003eAdvanced mechanical shutter with a professional-grade top speed of 1\/4000s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003eFully mechanical operation—batteries are only required for the light meter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003eHigh-speed 1\/250s flash synchronization for professional outdoor fill-flash\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\"\u003eExceptionally bright and clear interchangeable focusing screen with 93% frame coverage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,4,0\"\u003eSimple and intuitive center-weighted Gallium Arsenide Phosphide photodiode meter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,5,0\"\u003eFull compatibility with almost every Nikon F-mount lens made since 1977 (AI, AI-S, AF, AF-D)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,6,0\"\u003eRobust all-metal construction designed for a lifetime of heavy professional use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIntroductory Paragraph\u003c\/b\u003e The Nikon FM2 is a masterpiece of functional minimalism. This specific unit (S\/N: 74166660) belongs to the later \"FM2n\" era, identified by the \"N\" prefix in the serial number and the 1\/250s flash sync marked in red on the shutter dial. The FM2 is widely considered the perfect camera for learning photography because it forces you to understand the relationship between aperture and shutter speed, yet it provides the precision of a modern instrument. Its compact, ergonomic design and legendary \"snick\" of the shutter release have made it a favorite for street photographers and photojournalists for decades. Whether you are a student or a seasoned pro, the FM2 offers a tactile, purely mechanical experience that is increasingly rare in the digital age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The camera body (S\/N: 74166660) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its vintage age. The internal mirror and bright focusing screen are clean and clear. The legendary mechanical shutter has been tested and fires accurately across all speeds from 1s to 1\/4000s. The internal LED light meter is fully operational and responds accurately to changes in light. The film advance lever and rewind mechanism are smooth and firm. The battery compartment is clean, and the light seals and mirror bumper are in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/b\u003e \"The FM2 is the one camera I tell everyone they should own at least once. What I love about this S\/N: 74166660 is that it feels like a precision-tuned watch in your hand; there is zero shutter lag and the feedback is instantaneous. The 1\/4000s top speed is a massive advantage—it allows you to shoot fast Nikkor primes wide open even in mid-day sun to get that shallow depth of field. It’s a camera that gets out of your way and lets you focus on the art. It’s rugged, honest, and arguably the most reliable SLR Nikon ever built. It’s not just a camera; it’s a lifetime companion.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003eNikon FM2 35mm SLR Body (S\/N: 74166660)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eNikon BF-1A Body Cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: 35mm SLR Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eFilm Format: 35mm (135)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eLens Mount: Nikon F-mount (AI\/AI-S Compatible)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eShutter: Mechanical vertical-travel metal focal-plane (1s - 1\/4000s)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eMetering: TTL Center-weighted (60\/40) via 3-LED display\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
