The ";Dual Personality"; FM3A--- Nikon';s New Retro-Tech 35mm SLR
In the late seventies Nikon introduced two camera models, the FE, an electronic shutter model with aperture priority auto exposure and the FM, a no-nonsense all-mechanical camera designed to operate without battery power. Photographers at the time speculated about a hybrid camera that combined the... Read full review »
Is It Already A CLASSIC?
The Nikon FM3A is the direct descendant of the original Nikon FM which first appeared on scene in 1977. That founding member of this branch of the Nikon dynasty possessed some very significant capabilities that have been genetically passed on to this latest version. What keeps this manual Nikon in...

How did THAT get into my camera bag?
If you had asked me 3 or 4 years ago if I would ever consider buying a mechanical camera the answer would have been a resounding no! I have grown so accustomed to having the ability to fully automate practically every aspect of the photographic experience that I would laughed at anyone who even... Read full review »
A Great PRIMARY Body... the Nikon FM3A is a photographer's camera.
Rather than give you the complete list of features and specifications, since other reviewers have generously provided these, I'd like to spend my time writing about how I use this camera to give you an idea of what it's capable of. I'm not sure how many photographers have need for a camera for the... Read full review »
A delightful anachronism
This is my second review of the Nikon FM3a, with the first included at the bottom of this one. I reviewed the camera back in September, after borrowing a useed one from a local shop while they performed a CLA and minor repair on my F3HP. At the time, I also owned a Nikon FM2n, the immediate...

Another example of Nikon precision and quality
There are many reviews of this camera on the web, so instead of rattling off the specs I will just give you the impressions of an ex-FM2n, ex-N90s user. I switched to the N90s when my grandson was born because of the flash capability. Until that time I was perfectly happy with my FM2n, one of the... Read full review »

Nikon FM3A Review
by Chris Groenhout
Back in 1987 I purchased my first Nikon - an FE2 to replace an increasingly frustrating Olympus OM10. By a sheer stroke of luck, I had moved from one of the worst (though most popular) cameras ever made to one of the best, and was hooked on it for...

A matter of physical touch
Nikon Corporation announces the FM3A as the successor to the FM2N. Yet I believe that FM3A will also, if not mainly, impact over the F3HP addicts. We will have the confluence of three trends here: FM2A, F3HP and FM3A ? rather than a matter of linear succession inside the FM offspring. F3HP owners... Read full review »
A Great Camera
I only got this camera a week ago, so I haven't been able to fully test it out yet, but so far it is a great camera and money well spent. It has all the features I need and want, I could have bought for around the same price a good auto focus all automation camera, but the reason I am attracted to... Read full review »
My dream camera
I bought a FT-2 in 1976. Shortly after that the FE came out and I had spent 25 years wishing I'd waited for the FE. I like manual focus, I like manual film wind, but pure manual exposure is difficult for people pictures. Especially when you are focusing manually, to stop and adjust the match needle...
