Hopefully the shutter is accurate. I haven't had much luck with older SLR's 1/125 and higher.

Ok finally loaded a roll of ILFORD FP4 PLUS 125 and will 'slowly' take some photos. Will be interesting to see what comes out of this great little camera.

Big smiles! It's been fascinating returning to film..Slowed me way down.I've become picky about subjects. But I love it. Just the sound of the film transport alone is worth it. Yeah I'm gonna get my own scanner and yes even after loading on to a cd the uploaded pics can be developed further in LR.From a jpeg no less! Yeah it's a nice thing.Enjoy your picture taking!

The FM is what got me started in photography back in 1978. It served me well for 20+ years, shooting slides and film. I finally traded it in on an N70 that I still have but haven't used since I went digital with a D100 way back in the early 2000s. I still have a little bitty regret in getting rid of it. Classic, basic Nikon body. Looking at my photos from back then, I can't believe what a crappy photographer I was! Maybe it was the cheap glass. But check out this pic of me shot by my son, Tim, who was about 10 at the time (late 80s).
