    First post: Nikon camera ID help

    Hello all. I bought an old Nikon and a whole bag of lenses and accessories on a whim today when I went to pick up some vintage audio gear, my true passion. It looks like an FM2 but there's nothing where the model number should go, just a serial number stamped on the back: FM 3453328 Thanks!

    It's an FM. Check the shutter speed dial...the X-synch speed in red at 125 indicates it's an FM. The FM-2 body has a prominent name stamped on it...the FM is "model-number free",except for that tiny FM ahead of the serial number.

    Yep, that's what it is. I'm getting "image undefined!" when I try to post pictures. It looks brand new. I'm picking up some film today so I can play with it. Too bad none of the lenses are Nikon.

    Just because a lens isn't Nikon doesn't mean you can't get good quality out of it, it depends on the lens.

    What do you have?
    Luck favors the prepared.

    To be in the right place at the right time you have to first be in the right place.
