Nikon FM2
- Thread starter Nikon700
- Start date
why not BnS forum? about $250 for a good conditioned one there. or if you re game can try ebay, can get mint condition copies for between 250 and 400. and yes, any AI or AIS or AF lens with aperture ring will work on it.
i tried the fm2, but somehow felt that my fm was smoother than the fm2 that i was testing.
anyway, back to your question,
you can get a copy from keh.com or ebay but frankly local shops, while more expensive, do
provide warranty. Buy and Sell from CS is also a good choice.

A mint condition one will set you back about 250, but usually those that i see on CS BNS have dented prisms, broken rubber from viewfinder and paint loss but rated at 8 or 9/10. U have to be patient and wait, dun rush and pay over 300 that i see many ppl here do. Some of the bodies operate smoother than the rest, as Raytoei mentioned, be sure to check.
F3 with 1.4 lens for that sort of price is depressing man.....
Unless the condition is very poor.

there are quite a number of camera & photography shops around Peninsula area, ie: Ruby, Cathay, chiif camera, konata ...
as mention by Jack Chen. or u can buy it online. I find the colored film quite over price in SG... i can get it cheaper overseas.
Thanks Jack, I will go there to check out.
Hi Sinned79, Yes there are some shops do sell overprice for the color film. I didn't check the price for color film online from overseas. But I did check the b&w film price is around S$12-15 per roll for the 400 online from overseas. I still couldn't find the b+w film here. Will check out those shops mentioned by Jack. If there is no big difference in pricing, I still prefer to buy here.

The cheapest is Lucky SHD but results are @#%^ if u ask me. I really like Agfa APX00, and it's only $4 per roll. Many swears by Tri-X but I ruined my first roll in the developing process, looking forward to try it again. Another fav is Iiford HP5, I did a 2 stop push and the result is good.
i just ordered 20 rolls of Kentmere B/W (ISO 400) + 5 rolls of ekta + 10 rolls of porta from adorama... i had read reviews its actually Iford in "disguise" since the company is owned by them. each roll cost me $2.95 usd. i got a colleague going to USA to visit her hubby... so I save on my shipping!
just the colored films... i save $40+ buying in singapore... ektar especially... its way overpriced in sg! i got it for only $5.25 usd per roll from adorama.
