how you dont already have 100k subs is shocking to me tbh

Nikon FM was my first 35mm film SLR, and still my favorite in my collection of 35mm film SLR's. Simple to use, quality robust construction, just a fine straightforward 35mm SLR camera. I've had mine since 1980 and all I've had done to it was new light seals installed it still operates like new.

Love this content bro I legitimately get excited when I see that you uploaded :)

My Nikon FM is a breeze to use, very sturdy construction, and you can find tons of nice lenses for it. One of the best 35mm cameras you can get without breaking your bank.

Loved seeing how you used Dehancer on your footage, great job! Beautiful cinematic feel. If anyone has any questions about Dehancer, our team is here to answer them 😉 just drop a comment below

I have to give you credit for braving those cold temperatures in a tent. I have to admit I am a confirmed Hilton camper. My 35mm camera of choice is the Olympus OM1, after a professional CLA. For me the Zuiko lenses with Kodak Tmax 400 are the best. Another good video.

Congrats on the FM and that exceptional 24mm 2.8 Nikkor. If yu are used to shooting at 50mm, the 24mm may take a few rolls to adjust, but once you "see wide", it will be a natural. My advice to you, and this is in general, not particular to the FM. Find a repair shop which has a bit of Nikon experience (which is most of them) and have it subjected to a complete CLA, even if it is working perfectly. The rule is:"An ounce of prevention is worth ....: " I started with this series of cameras when the first FM was introduced around 1977. As new versions came out, so did I trade up, ending with an FE2, which I still have. I never had one fail on me, even though I used to work them pretty hard with a motor drive. I used to shoot a 1/3 of a roll at one time. (Steam engines at full speed. It's a thing.)

The drone shots at the end are sick!

i was fr bouta comment abt the bloom. goes hard

When I traded off my Nikon F4s and most of the lenses for medium format back in the mid-90s I still wanted a 35mm SLR on hand. So in the trade, I got a well-brassed Nikon FM and a nifty-50. Later I actually used that camera as my primary while working for a small publisher. The FM is an excellent example of a working, fully mechanical camera. The LEDs for metering are icing. A few weeks ago I got a very minty Nikon FM from Japan for a nice price and found a clean 50mm f1.8 on the bay. Damn, it feels like coming home again. Love the FM. Side note: Look into getting an Aeropress Go for making coffee out there. If you really want to step it, get a small hand grinder and grind your beans in natural settings then make your coffee with the Aeropress Go (or just take ground). It can be a rather zen experience, the coffee is great, and... you already have the cup with you if you forget a mug.

This is so great! Love the colors and the images you got! Such a chill and inspiring atmosphere! Bravo!

This video really sold me on this camera. My only 35mm slr is an Minolta x700 but it has let me down a couple of times. ive always wanted to try an Nikon F series camera.

I love my FM, and I got it a friend, an FM2N 😅

Ich habe eine Fm und liebe diese Kamera

The FM is a very good and reliable camera

very nice. I like how much you experiment

I also got asked to do a Dehancer review. Its great, but it really wanted to cook my little laptop.

Congratulations 👏

interesting video!

Hey mate, big props from Australia. Loving your style. I've watched a few of your videos before! In terms of video post production, man I'm loving what you're doing. I can tell you've put HEAPS of work into making the videos. How do you get audio so good? Cant wait to watch more, brother!

i have used my FM in minus 45 celsius and no problem. All-mechanical cameras work no matter what. On mine, the light meter is dead but I don't need it anyways - I never use one.

Just ran into this channel, really nice video! I've got a FE2, and really like it. Kind of eyeballing an fm or so as a second body, so I can keep multiple rolls loaded.

Wow well done 👏

Lovely video.

Great video

Next up you should buy nikon f2, the best camera no doubt

Great video, what exactly hapend to your other camera in the cold? Just picked up a silver FM in new condition with a box here in Germany. Cant wait to get back to 35mm after years of digital only.

Thanks for inspiring! Looking at your pictures makes me want to dig out my old Minolta XD7 and get some old film rolls wasted... And get away from digital photography every once in a while

Do you have a video on replacing the light seals like you show at the start of this video? I have an FM2n that's in great shape except for the light seals being deteriorated. Thanks!

hey bro beautiful photos, buying an fm myself. with metering, are you exposure compensating by a stop at all with the + sign of the viewfinder metering

I would like to say welcome the the world of film cameras and wait until you take a look at medium format cameras.

The results aren't great, but I appreciate the vlog!

I find the "Elevator Music" to be both a distraction and very annoying 😒 I'll view this later, with the sound off.
