anything with a standard hot shoe mount flash can be used with fm2, also anything with standard flash sync cord can be used too. ttl doesn't work, obviously.
best manual ever! hahaha do this, take the photo do that, take the photo look here, press the shutter I lost one roll of film just following this tutorial. hahaha
sorry for the late reply! FM2 is a fully manual camera, and it only uses battery for the light meter inside. if you have a external light meter or other means to measure the exposure, you don't need a battery.
Sweet video mate! I do have a question though. I’m looking for a nice 50 f1.4 like yours in the video (I actually bought an Nikkor-s but unfortunately doesn’t work on this one… any recommendations on how to find the right one? I’m using the 50f1.8 D and it’s not really sharp unfortunately
Most people have no idea just how an image is captured on a piece of film. And have no realization that that image is permanent while anything stored on digital media is not! We can still make a print from negatives that date back to the 1830's. This will be impossible with digital data storage! It's simple Physics. The electromagnet field all around us are constantly changing. These changes have the effect of gradually degrading all date stored on digital media. Even a few decades of storage is enough to severely degrade an image! A few centuries from now, it's very likely the only images our future selfs will have to study, WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHS!
Hey, i bought this recently. It always shows -ve sign in exposure meter, even if i point it toward Direct sunlight. I haven't loaded any film yet.but Do i have to load it then only will it show me the reading??
Thank you for this video, truly helpful. Could you go more into detail about the use of flash? thanks a lot

This camera is 100% manual or should use battery? because i have one and i will use this...and for rewind? Can we use manual button on left?

Hey, Have you ever used flash with it? Mine doesn't work.. even on manual mode..

I noticed the letter "i" in Nikon the black is missing.. the same thing in my FM2. I heard it was common thing.
I need more detail! Lol

What lense are you using?
We used Sigma 24-70 DG DN for this video!
The lens on the FM2 is a Nikkor AIS 50mm f 1.4
