The Nikon FM2 (AV1) has been inspected and tested by CPB Darkroom. The camera is in excellent cosmetic condition, with only minor scratches on the body. Mechanically, it performs smoothly — the shutter fires accurately, the advance lever feels crisp, and all dials and the shutter button operate without hesitation. The built-in light meter functions but reads approximately half a stop off. The images shown depict the exact camera you will receive.

Introduced in 1982, the Nikon FM2 is one of the most iconic fully mechanical 35mm SLRs ever made. Its legendary all-metal shutter — capable of reaching 1/4000 sec — made it a favorite among professionals and enthusiasts alike. With full manual control, rugged build quality, and compatibility with Nikon’s extensive lineup of F-mount lenses, the FM2 remains one of the most reliable mechanical cameras available.

The FM2 uses standard 35 mm (135) film and produces 24 × 36 mm negatives. It requires batteries only for the meter; the shutter operates mechanically at all speeds even without power.

SLR cameras sold by CPB Darkroom are inspected for shutter accuracy, film transport reliability, and mechanical condition, with all issues clearly noted and reflected in the grading.
