Nikon Fm Serial Number Database

The closest you are going to come to the FM2 is the MX. Though the MX is smaller, even smaller than the Olympus OM-1. The MX has some limitations compared to the FM2. 1/1000s shutter vs 1/4000s. 1/60s flash sync vs 1/250s etc. The LX is a step up in class. It was the Pentax F2 killer, but Nikon released the F3 the same year.

• Choose the genesis compiler you just set up ('Sega Genesis Compiler' here). Then set the executable filename as on the picture: At this point we already finished the compiler configuration:) Now here's how to do your own project and compile it: • Do a new project • Choose a empty project type and click on 'Go' button • Click on Next. Uncheck the 'Debug' configuration which is useless here and rename the 'Release' configuration to 'default' as this is the only used here. • Choose a name and a directory for your project, others box are automatically filled but you can modify them if you want, then click on Next.

Is there a table of Nikon SLR (FM and F series) bodies with serial number ranges and their corresponding production dates? The FM2/FM2n bodies use the same code system as what Nikon used on the F3, however, between the years 1986 and 1991 or so, the code sometimes had the first.

The ME, ME Super, and Super Program are all fine cameras, but they were made for semi-automatic or Program mode exposures. The ME Super and Super Program have M modes, but they are controlled by push button. You might actually want to look into a Ricoh SLR like the XR-2, KR-10, or KR-5 Super II. The Super II has a 1/2000s shutter and 1/125s flash sync. The Nikon FM2 was my first SLR camera and it taught me everything.

I felt in love with it. However, I wonder which camera from Pentax is the rival of the FM2? I tried to read in film camera reviews in this forum but I'm really confused. Such as, ME, MX, KX, LX, etc. They just look pretty similar, IMO. But price is different.

Could you point out for me, please? Thanks a lot.It really depends on what characteristics of the FM2 you wish to replicate.

The FM2 is a mechanical camera with LED meter display. It takes a power winder or motor drive. It can operate without batteries.

The Pentax MX matches those characteristics. On the other hand, the FM2 I believe offers some dedicated flash functions, a higher maximum shuttter speed and higher flash sync speed. The MX is more compact. If you are looking for a classic mechanical K-mount camera, in my view the most classic of all is the KX, which is more like the FM. However, the KX does not take a motor drive. There are no exact equivalents to the FM2 in the Pentax world, so perhaps you could be more specific about what functions you consider to be important. Edit: Obviously, boriscleto and I were thinking along similar lines at the same time!

I'll second his comment about Ricoh cameras. In particular, the XR-1s is a very solid mechanical body. I bought one new in 1979, still use it occasionally. I don't care about the motor drive cause I've never used it. However, the 1/4000 shutter speed from FM2 is kinda useful. Just 1/1000 shutter speed from MX sounds a little too slow. I like the FM2 that even I don't have battery it's still usable.

Just cannot meter. Also, I feel like the VF with the split screen is bright and super easy to focus. I'm not sure about Pentax, though. No need for some auto-things like super fancy modes. All manual controls is just the best and most fun part of this kind of camera. Also, it's tough and sturdy. So, which one is the right one?

What different between KX and MX? (also, LX) Thanks a lot! What different between KX and MX? Cara sync devices flashtool. (also, LX) Thanks a lot!The KX was released in 1975.

The body was basically an updated Spotmatic. It featured mirror lockup, a shutter speed indicator in the viewfinder, and a window that showed what aperture was set. The MX was released in 1976. It was meant to be a high end system camera, but not as high end as an F2.

It was the only fully mechanical camera in the M series. Like all the cameras in the M series emphasis was placed on size reduction. The LX was introduced in 1980.

It is a high end professional camera aimed squarely at the F series. It is a full system camera with interchangeable viewfinders, focusing screens, data and film backs, battery packs, and winders / motor drives. It is slightly larger than an MX but much smaller than a Nikon F3. It featured a mechanical shutter speed of 1/2000s, a flash sync of 1/75s and bulb.
