The FM is compact, mechanically operated, and refreshingly straightforward, with the kind of solid controls and tactile feedback that make shooting film feel like operating a precision instrument rather than navigating a piece of electronics.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FM’s mechanical shutter makes it particularly appealing as an everyday shooter since the camera can operate without batteries, with batteries only needed for the light meter. Pair it with Nikon’s excellent \u003cstrong\u003eNikkor 50mm f\/1.4 AI-S\u003c\/strong\u003e and you have a fast, compact kit equally suited to street photography, portraits, available-light work, travel, or just keeping loaded with Tri-X and bringing everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 50mm f\/1.4 AI-S is also a great lens beyond film. Its fast aperture, smooth manual focus, and classic Nikkor rendering have made it popular for adapting to modern mirrorless cameras and for video work where a proper mechanical focusing ring is a feature rather than an anachronism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: EXCELLENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Nikon FM kit is in excellent condition with minimal cosmetic wear and is fully functional. The camera’s shutter, meter, film transport, and controls are operating properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included Nikkor 50mm f\/1.4 AI-S has \u003cstrong\u003every faint internal haze\u003c\/strong\u003e. The haze is minimal and should have little practical effect under most shooting conditions, though particularly strong backlighting may produce a slight reduction in contrast. Focus and aperture operation are smooth and correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, this is a very clean, ready-to-shoot example of one of Nikon’s best all-mechanical 35mm SLR setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNikon FM 35mm SLR camera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNikkor 50mm f\/1.4 AI-S lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe usually ship within two business days of receiving payment.
