The Nikon F2 is a big film SLR but when you compare it to more modern cameras like a Nikon F100 or a modern DSLR, it is tiny. After a lot of experimenting, I saw a video by Chuck Jines on Youtube, talking about his Nikon F2 and I thought to myself, damn that is a sexy looking camera. I didn’t crave the shooting experience that the almost digital Nikon F100 provided so I started my search for a film camera that would suit my needs and I experimented with a ton of film cameras but not finding a camera that suited my needs and desires. It was too similar to my digital work, it was a fine camera but I missed the feeling of shooting with a machinal camera, feeling the gears grind, and hearing the mechanical shutter fire. So I decided to buy a Nikon F100 and start taking my film camera with me to work which lead me to shoot a lot of film again but the Nikon F100 did not scratch that film shooting itch that I had. I ended up mostly shooting film during my trip in Hong Kong and the Nikon FM turned out to be a fine little camera but it has some small things that drove me crazy. My first steps in film photography with Nikon began on a Nikon FM, I was already heavily invested in Nikon glass because of work and I really missed shoot film so I bought a Nikon FM to take with me to Hong Kong.
