Good Points: Ease of use solid construction totally manual
Bad Points: a little heavy, but that's not so bad.
General comments: well, I haven't been using the Nikon FM camera for four months yet, but I'm more than happy with it. I found it extremely easy to use and become accustomed to and is now like second nature to me. with a copper silumin body, it's quite a heavy camera and built to last and it doesn't feel cheap like some plastic bodied cameras do. Because it uses the Ai system lenses, they're pretty much readily available and the depth of field preview button can be very handy.
my FM is a little beaten up with loads of brassing around the edges and the viewfinder a little dirty, but in perfect working order. I've had and used a few cameras in the past and I know for a fact that I won't want to part with this one.
