New Family member

After a long search last year (in S'pore, M'sia and India), I finally found a worthy addition to the family in January 2007.

After going back to Nikon for a through check-up and tune-up, here she is, the Nikon FM2n - a classic film SLR camera.

Launched in 1989, she's a purely manual SLR - which means there's no auto-focus, no auto-exposure, no auto-shutter speed. See here for more details. The only thing electronic about her is the light meter - everything else is mechanical.

Some of you may ask, why the heck did you go and buy a film SLR? Isn't film obsolete now? Well, the main purpose of the FM2n is for me to try out black & while film. Besides, I think film SLRs are so cool and retro-chic.


And now, here's the family photo.
