About the Nikon FM2
The FM2 (1982) and the improved FM2n (1984) are mechanical Nikon F-mount SLRs with a then-unheard-of 1/4000 sec top speed; the FM2n raised flash sync from 1/200 to 1/250 sec. Batteries (two LR44) power only the meter. This guide covers the FM2 and FM2n, not the titanium FM2/T.
What affects the price
- Whether the shutter fires at every speed. Slow speeds that drag or a shutter that sticks cut the value sharply.
- Light seals and the mirror bumper: sticky or crumbling foam causes light leaks. Cheap to fix, but buyers price it in.
- Battery compartment corrosion and whether the light meter still reads.
- Viewfinder and prism: haze, fungus or de-silvering (dark bands) in the finder.
- Film-tested listings, with sample photos, sell for more than “untested”.
