The top and bottom plate of this version are made of titanium in other respect it is the same camera as FM2n. The shutter was redesigned again,now made of aluminum alloy. The flash sync speed was increased to 1/250Īnd the n suffix in front of the serial number. The titanium shutter was completely reworked for this new model, providing 1 to 1/4000sec and 1/200 flash sync.
