Strength:
I've been shooting for a long time, and I was brought up thinking that guns and everything else was mechanical. I shot landscapes and have time on my hands, therefore I have little interest in amassing material possessions. This is a rock-solid piece of machinery. Weakness:

Strength:
It is an amazingly ergonomic yet classic camera. The top plate is amazingly minimalist; the aesthetics are particularly pleasing, however if you have hang-ups and deem that every camera should have flashing lights, then this one should be avoided; this is simple and beautiful; the switches all handle with quality and ease. I enjoy the shutter release which is not accident-prone, and hooks up easily to a manual cable release. Ontario Mobile Mechanic Weakness:

I would recommend to but a good lens with this and get rid of the Plastic lens that comes with it. As my skills are growing in photography I do feel that I should upgrade to another Nikon N90 or higher.I would still like to keep my N60 though. Rancho Cucamonga truck oil change Weakness:

Strength:
I once dropped a Zenith 12XP smack down on the concrete paving of a platform at Sheffield station in South Yorkshire; remarkably, it survived, but I cannot guarantee that had it been an FM2 then the platform would have done likewise ....
Weakness:
Nothing really very important, except that the viewfinder LEDs can be all but impossible to read in bright light. Well, no, let's face it, they're just impossible. As I live in northern Scotland, 'bright light' isn't really too much of a problem for me, but readers in Tuscany might have something to say about it.
The Nikon FM2n was my fifth Nikon body, and although it knocked a big hole in my miserable finances I have never, ever had cause for complaint. I had tested just about every camera in town beforehand (if only to claim some sort of half hearted market research, as I had already decided many months and even years earlier to go for the FM2), including the Canon EOS 3 whose build quality I found curiously lacking by way of comparison. I just knew as I held the Nikon in my hands that it was 'the one.' Beautiful, even timeless; it's a crying shame that Nikon decided to axe it in favour of the rather lukewarm hybrid that was the FM3, and surprising that Nikon of all people should have so badly assessed the market with its pronounced tendency towards digital (even then).
Customer Service Nikon FM2n? Excellent, especially as they were running a price match system at the time and I managed to knock them down to just £425 for both body and standard Sigma zoom. Yes, Sigma; the only Nikkor lens to which I could stretch at the time was a boring 50mm f1.8. I know the good old standard lens is probably the only lens you'll ever need, etc etc. Yawn. Zzzzzz, indeed. Similar Products Used: Nikon Nikkormat FTn, Yashica FX-3.
