It features a match-needle LED metering system powered by two LR44 batteries, a durable metal shutter, and a compact all-metal body. This example is fully functional and includes new batteries, though there is visible distortion in the viewfinder prism that does not affect image capture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall Condition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eCamera body shows light cosmetic wear.

It supports all AI and AIS lenses and is prized for its mechanical reliability and intuitive control layout. Prism distortion is a common cosmetic issue in older Nikon bodies and does not affect exposure or image quality. This unit is ideal for active use, restoration, or display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNikon F-mount 35mm manual focus SLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical shutter: 1s–1\/1000s + Bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatch-needle LED metering (requires batteries)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with AI and AIS lenses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-metal construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrism distortion present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSEO Optimised Keywords:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNikon FM 35mm film camera body, Nikon FM prism distortion SLR UK, Nikon FM manual focus camera, Nikon FM tested camera Japan, Nikon FM with new batteries, Nikon FM AI lens compatible, Nikon FM vintage SLR for sale, Nikon FM mechanical shutter camera, Nikon FM collector body, Nikon FM F mount film camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--EndFragment --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nikon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51821132841302,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0875\/5213\/1414\/files\/IMGP6258_7d4ab8c5-9631-42cf-90e9-71c868dfd4f2.jpg?v=1785416689","url":"https:\/\/colinscameras.co.uk\/products\/nikon-fm-35mm-slr","provider":"Colins Cameras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
