Comments on FM2, FE2 and FM3A.

I did at one stage, but I sold the 1/200 away. Actually, they are quite a rarity having only been made for a year or two only.

This difference in the shutterblade pattern is documented on the mir.com website...I think.

Yeah.. I knew it was more rare than the 1/250 but I was quite glad I got the 1/250 instead of the 1/200. Later I was eyeing the FM2T but that was already using the aluminium shutter so I didn't. Now I don't know if I should blow some money on the FM3A considering that I seldom touch film anymore.

What would be cool if you could find Titanium shutter blade spares (there are probably still some sitting in some authorised repairer's inventory somewhere in the world) and replace the ones in a FM2/T.

Yes. That would be real cool. Then it will be a true blue FM2-T.

You can consider the FE as well. The lens mount on the FE can accept even the very much older lenses. But parts for the FE and repairs do not come cheaply. That being said, its a very nice camera
