technical characteristics

Camera type 35mm SLR camera

Image format 24 x 36 mm (standard 35 mm film format)

Lens interface Nikon bayonet interface, equipped with photometric coupling rod; But there is no photometric coupling lever release button.

Viewfinder plane pentaprism type

The micro prism type (K2 type) of the focusing screen is standard; Frosted type (B2) and frosted focusing screen (E2) with horizontal straight lines can be provided.

The viewfinder coverage/magnification is focused to infinity at 50 mm, about 93%/ about 0.86 times.

The metering mode TTL focuses on the central full aperture exposure measurement system, which uses a pair of silicon photodiodes SPD and a metering single lithium synthesis circuit.

The exposure meter is made of n o1000 film, f/ 1.4 lens, ev1ev18 (1second f/10.40 to140000 second f/8).

Shutter longitudinal aluminum alloy mechanical shutter, speed: 1/4000 to 1 sec, key B (light bulb), a total of 14 settings.

Accessories hot boots are attached; ISO standard; Equipped with preparatory light contacts

Synchronous connection with the built-in ISO standard hot shoes; Equipped with wire-controlled synchronous terminal, which can shoot independently or in multiflash; Synchronous electronic flash group can reach 1/250 seconds at the earliest.

Pre-flash is equipped with LED;; Can be viewed from the viewer; When SB-28, SB-27, SB-22S, SB- 16B or SB-29 flash unit is fully charged, this light will light up; When the shutter speed is shorter than the synchronization time of electronic flash, which is not enough for correct exposure, this light flashes as a warning.

Self-timer, delay 10 second, can be cancelled.

Additional depth of field preview button

Film winding rod in film winding mode: one pass, initial angle of 30 degrees, total rotation 135 degrees.

Rewind When the rewind button is pressed, the rewind lever can be used to rewind the film.

Multiple exposures have been attached; When multiple exposures are made, the film specifications are separated at the same time, which does not affect the number of exposed films.

When the rear cover of the machine pulls the film back to the crimping rod, the back of the machine body automatically opens at the same time, and automatically locks when pushed in; Can be used interchangeably with modem MF- 16; Paper insertion rack with memo

The power supply needs two 1.55V silver oxide batteries (SR44 type), two 1.5V alkaline batteries (LR44 type) or 1.3v lithium batteries (CR- 1/3N type). The cold-resistant battery box DB-2 purchased separately can hold two batteries: 1.5R6 (AA alkaline), 1.2Kr-AA (AA nickel cadmium (NiCd) or1.5R6 (AA manganese).

Light press the shutter button to start the exposure meter; Close 30 seconds after release; When the shutter speed dial is set to B, the metering system is automatically turned off.

The volume is about142.5x90x60mm.

Weight (excluding battery) is about 540g.

At present, FM2 camera is the only all-mechanical camera with the longest sales cycle in Nikon's 35mm series. It's Ni

The improved FM introduced by Kang Company in 1977 and 1982 has a history of 17 years. The camera also

It is a Nikon fully mechanical camera, which is still available in the market (200 1 discontinued and replaced with a new model FM3A).

One of them. It has the advantages of excellent workmanship, high reliability, extremely low failure rate, strong temperature resistance and impact resistance, which makes this model

This camera has become a classic camera that both general professional photographers and senior amateur photographers want to own.

Exposure mode: full manual.

Lens interface: Nikon F interface interchangeable interface All Nikkor AF, AI-P, AF-I, AI-S and AF-S lenses (can be

It is said that it is the favorite design of Nikon users, and SLR lenses produced in any era can be used.

Focus screen: There are three options (you can change it yourself at any time, which is a typical symbol of professional models in Nikon cameras. profit

Of course, there are many, you can easily remove the dust you see in the viewfinder and change different options for various purposes ... I am now.

We use an E2 focusing screen. )

Photometric system: the central focus, from EV2 to 19, in ISO 100, f/ 1.4 lens meters (the marking range of photometry is the focus screen.

In the big circle). The metering mode of FM2 is to balance metering with a pair of silicon light sensors (SPD) behind the mirror, using nylon.

60% of the dual-amplitude resistance circuits and integrated circuits pioneered by Kang Company focus on the key measurement of the center point with a diameter of12 mm.

Light. Photometric display uses three LED lights, "+"means overexposure, "-"means underexposure and "O" means correct exposure. while

When the shutter is pressed halfway, the metering system will automatically start and keep for 30 seconds, and then automatically close after 30 seconds to avoid wasting electricity.

FE, FM and FM2 use type I focusing screen (where FE and FM2 can replace the focusing screen, and FM cannot replace the focusing screen).

) When using type II focusing screen on FE or FM2, exposure compensation of+1/3 should be made (the brightness of type II focusing screen is also higher than that of type I).

That is, the light transmittance is increased1/3). The exposure compensation on FM2 can be realized by adjusting the film sensitivity or the resistance in the machine. the same

For example, exposure compensation of-1/3 should be done when using1focusing screen on FA, FE2, FM2N and FM2T.

The shutter of Nikon FM2N is divided into 14, 1 ~ 1/4000. B. FM2 is the earliest machine with the highest shutter speed of 1/4000.

Equipment. Indicating range of film sensitivity: ASA/ISO 12-6400. Flash synchronization 1/250.

The version of FM2 must be mentioned here:

Nikon FM2 camera has five versions since its production. Original flash synchronization file 1/200s (FM2 at the back of the fuselage

Only numbers without letters, the tablet is smooth) is also adopted for the first time in the world, and the second edition is changed to 1/25.

0s (It is also a titanium alloy honeycomb louver, but the etching pattern is slightly different from the first edition, and the etching area is slightly larger.

No. FM2N fuselage number changed to NXXXXXXXX tablet is still smooth). Its shutter design is unique, and the first edition is very fast.

The design of the car door is a titanium alloy honeycomb structure, which has the characteristics of light weight and high strength (the difference between the 1 version and the second version is only the flash).

The steps are divided into 1/200 and 1/250, and the shutter adopts titanium alloy honeycomb structure). With the rapid development of shutter materials and technology

Broken, the shutter blade is changed to light aluminum alloy (third edition, the performance and function are the same as the second edition. However, the tablet was changed to pockmarked.

Type, more conducive to film advance and retreat), making it lighter, less resistance, higher strength and faster running speed, so

The blocking rate is also greatly reduced. In addition, the transmission mechanism of venetian blinds adopts oil-bearing steel ball bearing, which has less resistance during operation.

Smooth (make you feel really silky when passing through the film), low mechanical wear and impact resistance. Especially in low

It can also work normally at low temperature, so it is very suitable for cold areas (in the north of China, if you don't have FM2, then you

It is very popular with photographers. In addition, the curtain brake of the camera metal shutter

It has also been improved, and the running speed of double-layer curtains is very coordinated, which is not easy to be damaged by collision. The vertical travel time of the roller shutter is 3.3s/ 1000. Although the speed is amazing, its resistance to running and stopping is very small, at 1~

1/4000s shooting will not produce loose images, which is also the precision of camera shutter design.

The viewfinder of FM2 is designed with a fixed structure. The shutter speed value of a camera is reflected by the light in a film composed of shutter speed.

The degree adjustment dial is displayed on the left side of the viewfinder, which is a small digital transparent dial connected by gears. Select on the lens aperture ring.

The fixed aperture value is also displayed directly above the viewfinder through optical refraction (this is a classic design in Nikon manual series)

)。 This method is simple and clear without electricity, but it is difficult to observe when used in a dark environment. FM2 viewfinder

The inner pentaprism is coated with a special silver film to increase the light passing through the pentaprism.

The design of the fuselage and internal mechanical transmission mechanism of FM2 is also very solid and precise. The fuselage is made of copper-aluminum alloy, which is strong and corrosion-resistant.

Especially good, it can resist the impact of 33.5kg per square centimeter, which is enough to adapt to various harsh environments. The thinnest fuselage

It reaches 1.4mm, and the most vulnerable lens ring alloy is 2 mm; The back of the camera is also made of metal, and the top

The cover and base are made of five sets of ball gears, which have excellent lubricity, light and smooth feel and no damping. this

This design is much better than the famous LEICAR series cameras. The movement of its reflector is also driven by gears,

Quick response. A special sponge is used above the reflection chamber in the fuselage to absorb the vibration and noise of the reflection plate when it moves at high speed.

The thin sponge is used to stick matte paint in the cabinet, and the cabinet wall is designed in a folding way, which absorbs a lot of light from the reflector.

The mechanical noise generated by exercise, more importantly, can absorb a lot of reflected light. The mechanical noise and vibration of this camera are less than.

ICA's R series cameras are lighter. In order to reduce the weight of the mirror and the vibration during operation, the mirror of the camera

The frame is made of titanium material, and the life of its reflector will not be affected even if an electric film winder is used.

FM2 has few functions, but it is very practical. The film sensitivity of this camera ranges from ISO 12-6400. Tashe

With multiple exposure function, fully mechanical, high positioning accuracy, film is not easy to work.

Move it. Its wrench is designed to be operated with one hand under the big wrench on the upper plate, which is very convenient for photography. Shutter wrench is equipped with

Stand by for 30 degrees. It's locked. The wrench didn't open, the shutter couldn't open, and the metering system didn't work.

The signal source is turned off. Therefore, the power consumption of FM2 is very small, and it can be used for 5 years in button cell and button cell.

The model number is SR44/G 13.

FM2 has a mechanical self-timer, the time is about 10 second, which can be played in half. Use depth of field preview

FM2 is a milestone in the production of Nikon manual cameras, and titanium alloy versions 1 and 2 became.

The first choice for Nikon enthusiasts to collect. Nikon saw such a vast market and produced many commemorative models and special models.

Among them, FM2T (fourth edition, titanium alloy shell number T9XXXXXX, shutter is still aluminum alloy flat plate, other items are the same.

Third edition), FM2 DRAGON2000 commemorative edition set (limited production of 2000 sets, 50/ 1.4 heads and machines in the set.

The same body), 1994 Year of the Dog commemorative machine.

The fifth edition is an extraterritorial assembly machine. Due to cost and other reasons, Nikon has transferred the FM2 camera to Japan and other countries.

Domestic (regional) assembly (including China and Guangdong). The performance of the assembled version is strictly in accordance with Nikon's technical requirements.

Generally speaking, it is not a problem, mainly because the user's psychology may be affected. The difference between it and the previous editions (mainly the difference from the third edition)

It is obviously different from other versions), one is a number, and the other is a rewind rocker. Previous version of the rewind rocker

All the corners are angular, and the fifth edition is curved and gentle. In second-hand shops (markets), the first edition is rare.

It's even harder to find new ones with good appearance and new colors. The second edition is the second edition. More is the third edition and the fifth edition, the latter is worse. Nikon FM2 experience

Seventeen years later, all five versions have changed, but the performance is not much different. Simple and practical, giving full play to users' interests.

Body consciousness is actually a camera worth investing in.
