Traditionalists unite! With the explosion of technology in the 21st century, digital cameras are overflowing the market. Many think that the traditional film cameras will go the wayside, but this simply isn’t true. The Nikon FM 35mm SLR is a prime reason why.

Nikon, by and large, is always in the top ten when it comes to cameras – digital or traditional. The Fm10 is a sleek piece of beauty that allows total control of the camera so your choices are limitless in image production. This model is one of only two traditional film cameras still available from Nikon.

The Nikon FM 10’s standard lens is a 35-70mm. The shutter speeds on this lens run from “B” to 1/2000th of second. With the bulb (B) setting, it is possible to have the shutter remain open as long as you want. This is a great choice when it comes to nighttime photography. You can even photograph the movement of stars in the sky, for when you leave B open for thirty minutes or so; the stars are tracked as streaks across the nighttime sky in the image. 1/2000th speed is terrific for catching those special moments in motion such as a perfect goal or an Indy 500 Race. F-stops run from 3.5 to 4.8 so you have a wide range with this function, as well.

There is a built-in ISO hot shoe that you can attach Nikon Speedlights for flash photography. With the X-Sync feature for flash photography, the speed of the flash can reach 1/125th of a second. Double exposures can be done in-camera with the manual rewind function. Just like cameras of the last century, the Nikon Fm10 has the manual control for total photographer control. The lens mount is bayonet style, allowing additionally purchased lenses to be easily attached.

When you are a professional searching for the perfect camera, you wish to find something that allows enough control to capture anything from a firefly to an MVP’s best moment. With the Nikon Fm10, the magnifications is.84x to infinity, along with self-timing capabilities. Nothing is automatic, so this is not a good choice for a beginner.

Reviews for the Nikon FM10 are consistently five out of five starts. Durability and dependability are lauded by photographers worldwide. Images are continually crisp and clear. There is no need to try to outsmart and work around auto programming such as found on many digital cameras, which is a huge plus in reviews. The versatility of the FM10 is appreciated greatly. Other plusses from reviews dictate the build and grip are fantastic to work with, making everything well work the money spent. With the many accessories available and full compatibility of other Nikon products, hundreds won’t ever use anything else.

To take photographs and create imagery that would make Ansel Adams jealous, this Nikon FM10 can aid you in making your dreams come true. Catch the beating wing of the humming bird or snap a shot of a ladybug wiling away the morning by using this masterpiece of machinery. You won’t be disappointed.
