Ohhh yeah! I don't have an FM but do have an FE and it is probably my favorite camera full stop. It's just the right amount of "camera", and is never annoying or frustrating to use, in either automatic or manual modes.
Agreed 100% on the indestructibility - whoever used mine before I got it dented and brassed up good. The camera doesn't care.
The focusing screen is a joy and better than any DSLR. It's telling that the big and bright finder is a selling point of the D850. If you still use your FM2 I would suggest getting a K3 screen. Nikon still sell them new!
- lb1lf 8y agoOooh, the FE is a very nice little camera (Never owned one, but have adopted one on occasion. Mounts just about everything, except them new-fangled G lenses. Well, it will MOUNT, but...) I have to admit I actually swapped the K3 for an -hm- B3, I believe - the all-matte one with a circle to show the coverage of the center-weighted meter - I found the split prism was more of a distraction than an aid _for my eyes_; I realize I am the odd man out on this one. Matter of fact, I shot a couple of rolls of Tri-X in the FM2 just the other day; will process it one of these days when the kids fall asleep early enough for me to still feel like actually doing something after their bedtime!
