What it is
{"overview":"The Nikon FM is a mechanical 35mm SLR introduced in 1977, built around a metal-bladed vertical focal-plane shutter and a match-LED through-the-lens meter. Inspect the film-advance lever, self-timer, and foam light seals, and look for dents on the prism housing that can indicate drops.

Questions
Is the Nikon FM a good value used film SLR?
For buyers who want a mechanical, battery-independent 35mm SLR on the F mount, the FM offers good value at current prices because the body runs without electronics for shutter timing and only needs a cell for the meter.
What affects the price of a Nikon FM?
Condition of the brass top plate, accuracy of the match-LED meter, smoothness of the shutter at 1/1000, and the presence of an original AI lens are the main factors that push a Nikon FM towards the upper end of its value range.
