Rugged Construction

The Nikon FM2 is a 35mm film SLR camera built for photographers who value mechanical reliability and hands-on control. The body is constructed from a **copper-aluminum-silicon alloy** and weighs **540g**, with dimensions of **142mm x 90mm x 60mm** — compact enough for everyday carry. A standout practical feature is the battery arrangement: the camera accepts a **Button Cell (LR44)**, but crucially, **mechanical operation is independent of the battery**, ensuring the camera functions even when the battery is depleted. The **Nikon F lens mount** opens up a vast ecosystem of compatible lenses, while the **optical viewfinder** provides a clear, direct shooting experience. The supported **ISO range runs from 12 to 6400**, giving photographers flexibility across a wide variety of film stocks. A **hot shoe** is included for external flash. The camera is **manual focus only**, with no autofocus, subject tracking, or eye tracking. There is **no weather sealing**, so care should be taken in harsh conditions.

The camera operates independently of battery power, so shooting continues even if the LR44 cell is dead or missing.

Fully Mechanical Shutter

One of the fastest mechanical shutters ever made, allowing use of wide apertures in bright daylight conditions.

1/4000s Maximum Shutter Speed

Compatible with decades of Nikon F-mount lenses, giving shooters access to one of the broadest lens ecosystems in photography history.

Nikon F Lens Mount

The vertically-travelling titanium shutter blades are lightweight and durable, enabling the camera's high flash sync speed.

Titanium Honeycomb Shutter

1/250s Flash Sync Speed

Accommodates a wide range of film stocks, from slow-speed daylight films to fast stocks suited for low-light shooting.

ISO 12–6400 Support

The copper-aluminum-silicon alloy chassis provides a solid, durable build at a manageable 540g.

Copper-Alloy Body Construction

Direct optical SLR viewing delivers a lag-free, true-to-life view of the scene for precise manual framing and focus.

In excellent working condition with super bright easy to focus view finder.  The mirror does have some wear marks on the edge, however, doesn't show up when viewing or focusing.  All functions work perfectly. Comes with cap and box.
