Ok....up front sorry...was looking for the right forum/anywhere to help me ID the model of this film camera and what to do with it. I had it when I was way younger and had more hair....now too old to remember and trying to decide what to do with it and all the accessories. Thanks

As it is written ... Nikon FM.
Nikon FM - Introduction
What to do ... well it takes pictures on film ... depends on if you want to take that up again.

It's a great manual focus camera; sturdy, simple to use. The Tamron looks like a 500mm f/8 mirror, and they're fun to use.

Try some newer print film, and have your developer scan the negatives. You get JPEG files and you can have them printed at a lot of places. The JPEG files can make a great slide show on your PC. I'd replace the battery, load some film, and go at it.

I have the FM2 and the FM2n, along with a host of Nikon/Nikkormat cameras. A lot of fun.

Thanks for the response.....aahhh...of course. "FM" Makes sense. the # is the serial #.
Yes the Tamron SP says 1:8 500mm. Tele Macro. was fun in the day.
any thoughts of value of the package?.....not sure I see myself going back to film.
