The Nikons FM FE FM2 FE2 FA FM3a compared - mythical family of reflex cams that shaped modern UXs There are several camera series that have greatly influenced the history of consumer cameras, particularly in rangefinders with Leica's M series. For SLR cameras, Nikon's FM and FE series stood out. The first of these was the Nikon FM, produced from 1977 to 1982, which was designed as a lighter, more modern alternative to the heavy Nikkormat. It offered a fully mechanical shutter, operating from 1 second to 1/1000th of a second, and was much more compact and affordable compared to the Nikon F2, the professional-grade camera at the time. The FM became a classic due to its reliability, great ergonomics, and practical features like a self-timer, ISO controls, and a battery-powered exposure meter. 00:00 - Introduction 00:25 - Nikon FM 1977-1982 01:57 - Nikon FE 1978-1983 02:56 - Nikon FM2 1982-2001 04:04 - Nikon FE2 1983-1989 04:49 - Nikon FA 1983-1988 05:50 - Nikon FM3a 2001-2006 06:43 - Motor MD-12 Soon after, the Nikon FE joined the lineup. It was an electronically controlled version of the FM, allowing for longer exposure times of up to 8 seconds, but like the FM, it shared similar ergonomics and user experience. The FE also introduced arrows in the viewfinder to assist with manual mode, although this could be difficult to read in low light. The FE was produced from 1978 to 1983, overlapping with the FM. The FM was later replaced by the FM2 in 1982, which introduced higher shutter speeds of up to 1/4000th of a second and a faster sync speed for flash photography. An important upgrade in the FM2 was the transformation of the shutter blades, allowing for more precise and reliable performance. The FM2 had a long production run, continuing until 2001, which speaks to its popularity and durability. Next came the FE2, essentially an upgraded version of the FE with similar improvements as the FM2. It also featured an electronically controlled shutter with speeds up to 1/4000th of a second. The battery-powered shutter meant that without power, it could only function at 1/250th of a second. Like its predecessors, the FE2 offered solid ergonomics and had some minor improvements in exposure indication. A lesser-known model in the lineup was the Nikon FA, the most advanced of the series. It introduced a matrix metering system with a microchip that enabled different program modes, making it highly innovative for its time. The FA shared much of its design and functionality with the FE2, including the 1/4000th second shutter speed and 1/250th second sync speed. It also incorporated some features from Nikon's professional-grade cameras, like the mirror from the F2. In 2001, Nikon released the FM3A, which combined the best features of both the FM2 and FE2. It had fully mechanical shutter control, allowing for operation from 1 second to 1/4000th of a second, and also offered automatic exposure modes, making it the ultimate hybrid camera. The FM3A retained the same ergonomic design and build quality as its predecessors, making it a favorite among photographers for its versatility and reliability. All these cameras had optional motor drives, like the MD-12, MD-11, and MD-15, which enabled faster shooting speeds, enhancing their functionality for action photography. This feature was available from the original FM to the FM3A, making these cameras not only reliable but also adaptable for various photography needs. want to support the channel ---- 1 - subscribe to the channel, like and activate alert 2 - get the iOS apps https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/app... 3 - grab my books Serial Matnum 2023 07 https://www.blurb.com/b/11665639 Serial Matnum 2023 06 https://www.blurb.com/b/11641364 3 - comment, respond, propose subjects for future episodes yay! :) direct links to playlists ---- http://aishit.net http://voncam.net fast links http://zand.li http://zdrilx.com for the music
