Good Points

good build, aperture-preferred auto and full-manual operation

Bad Points

not worth changing my fm2 and fe2 for

General Comments

The Nikon FM3a is a good 35mm SLR camera that could have been better. I'm a nikon fan but I don't go around all rosey-eyed and scorn the competition just because it says nikon on the front. For a start, why no spot-metering? Olympus did it in the mechanical om3 18 years ago.

Good camera if you want to start a manual nikon outfit, but I won't be changing my fm2 and fe2 for it. It's not worth it.

    Not really a review here. More like a knock on a good camera because it's not an FM2 or an FE2...and because it doesn't have spot metering. Neither do the FM2 and the FE2. It was obviously posted by someone who's never even held the camera.

    "not worth changing my fm2 and fe2 for" is not a bad point. How does it compare with FM2 and FE2? That would be more helpful. Most would probably hang onto their FM2 and FE2 and go out and buy the FM3a and use THAT.

    And there is a good reason why people respect the "Nikon" in the front of the camera.
