Manufacturer description
The Nikon FM2/T, a special version of the Nikon FM2 camera, uses titanium for its right and left top covers and the baseplate.
Titanium is one of the world's strongest yet lightest materials; its specific gravity is approximately half that of brass, yet its hardness is almost the same as that of steel, while its corrosion resistance is greater than that of stainless steel. However, titanium is a very difficult material to process. Nonetheless, as early as 1957, Nikon first fashioned shutter curtains out of titanium, and now, Nikon's technical know-how is utilized in creating one of the toughest SLRs around - the Nikon FM2/T.
The FM2/T's other features and specifications are the same as those of the Nikon FM2 camera except for weight: the FM2/T is approximately 515g.
