Before you buy used
- Same as FM2: foam seals, light seals, slow speeds, meter accuracy, battery contacts.
- **Shutter blade material** — early FM2n used titanium blades; later production switched to aluminum honeycomb. Both work fine; titanium blades are slightly more shock-resistant.
- Service: same Nikon FM specialists.
