{"product_id":"nikon-fm2-35mm-film-slr-camera","title":"Nikon FM2","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Nikon FM2 is one of those cameras that reminds you why shooting film can be so enjoyable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced in 1982, the FM2 became a favourite among photographers who wanted something reliable, straightforward and built around the essentials of photography. No complicated menus or unnecessary features, just a beautifully considered mechanical camera that puts you in control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is hands-on. You choose the shutter speed, set the aperture and focus yourself. The built-in light meter helps you find the right exposure, while the optical viewfinder makes composing your photographs feel natural and immediate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the FM2's standout features is its mechanical shutter, capable of speeds up to 1\/4000 second. It's particularly useful when shooting outdoors with faster film or wider apertures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd because the shutter is mechanical, the camera can continue taking photographs without batteries. Batteries are only needed to power the light meter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FM2 uses Nikon's F-mount system, opening up a wide range of compatible lenses and plenty of opportunities to explore different styles of photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's something particularly satisfying about using a camera like this. The sound of the shutter, the movement of the film advance lever and the process of making each photograph feel a little more considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're learning to shoot manually or already have a collection of Nikon film cameras, the FM2 is a camera that's easy to appreciate and genuinely enjoyable to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBest for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEveryday film photography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStreet photography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTravel and documentary photography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePortraits\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearning manual exposure and focusing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack and white photography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhotographers who enjoy mechanical cameras\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nikon FM2 is a fully manual 35mm SLR, so you'll be making the creative decisions yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll choose your shutter speed and aperture, focus through the optical viewfinder and advance the film after each photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in light meter provides exposure guidance, while the mechanical shutter allows you to continue shooting even without battery power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interchangeable Nikon F-mount system also gives you the freedom to experiment with different focal lengths and photographic styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a camera that rewards taking your time, understanding the light and enjoying the process of making photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDeveloping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nikon FM2 uses standard 35mm film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour negative film is typically developed using the C-41 process, while black and white and slide films require their respective processing methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce you've finished your roll, rewind it into the cartridge and take it to a film lab for developing and scanning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SS8","offers":[{"title":"W\/50mm f\/1.8 Lens","offer_id":48304319397942,"sku":"291735B","price":800.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"W\/28mm f\/3.5 Lens","offer_id":48304319430710,"sku":"8509473","price":750.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/4590\/5974\/files\/original_0bc48271-0b58-4d9f-9352-eb9377237034.png?v=1792976736","url":"https:\/\/www.sydneysuper8.com.au\/products\/nikon-fm2-35mm-film-slr-camera","provider":"SS8","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
