Nikon FM Black 35mm Film SLR Body

The Nikon FM was the continuation of Nikon's successful Nikkormat series of cameras, but re-engineered to fit in a far more compact, and lightweight package. Weighing less like a brick (over a quarter of a pound lighter!), and featuring the easier to use AI metering system, the Nikon FM was an immediate success. It was more than just a simple, fully-mechanical camera, it was a fully-mechanical camera in the era of early, issue-prone electronic cameras; it was assured reliability for any photographic shoot.
