... excellent build quality. The FM2n has been taken to the Antarctic and to deserts. It is virtually indestructible. Which is why they are still around, having stopped being produced in the 1990s. They are used in good art colleges to teach the photographic process. Everyone I know has loved theirs. They are quite hard to find in second-hand stores because they are so loved that nobody wants to get rid of them. However the internet has made finding them much easier. There is also a wonderful Malaysian site on th...more

The Nikon FM2n first made an appearance in my life last year and I've never looked back. Although I've had many automatic cameras, and used many other types of SLR, it is certainly the best camera I have ever worked with.

It?s a shame, but it?s easy to think that if a camera does everything automatically, it will produce great pictures. Modern auto everything cameras are brilliant for making happy snaps, but so are compact cameras, but if you want to regain a bit more control, and plan to use your camera for decades, then look at the Nikon FM range. They are one of the few cameras types available that are mechanical rather than electronic, and are made of metal rather than plastics, so they all have a solid, chunky feel.
