Nikon FM2 camera with a 50mm f/1.8 AI-S pancake lens, in good physical condition and tested and functioning.
Description from the seller
In Asta, an absolute icon of analog photography: the Nikon FM2 in chrome finish (silver), paired with the superb and compact Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AI-S lens (pancake version). Introduced in 1982, the FM2 is revered for its vertical sliding mechanical shutter, capable of reaching an incredible speed of 1/4000 second—a record for its time that made it the first choice for professionals and photojournalists. Fully mechanical, it operates at all speeds without batteries, which are only needed for the internal LED light meter, precise and reliable even in extreme conditions.
The accompanying object is the famous Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AI-S (serial number 1868289). It is the sought-after 'long nose' or 'pancake' version (depending on the specific variant; this serial number identifies a high-quality AI-S), known for its sharpness even wide open and its extremely compact size. The 6-element optical scheme ensures excellent contrast and pleasing bokeh, making it the ideal companion for street photography and environmental portraiture.
Technical specifications and conditions (from the attached test).
The camera body is in excellent condition, with a well-maintained appearance and no significant damage. Mechanically, it is in superb shape: the shutter fires accurately at all speeds, and the film transport is perfect and smooth. The light meter has been tested and is functioning properly, as is the self-timer.
