patrick smith Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Yes, it is quite possible to find out the general manufacture date of your F3 at least. That is not to say that this source can tell you that it was made on 17 November 1985, for it does not. However, unfortunately, I cannot recall the URL for the site. I looked it up once for my 179xxxx, and I think I remember it being made in the mid-to-late 1980s (1986-1988??). Perhaps another frequenter of the Nikon forum has the address you need. Alas, I can't say I know as far as the FM2n goes. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce_wilbur2 Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Try nikonlinks.com. If you go to their site you can find various links for many models including one for basic dating by serial number for the F3. Perhaps someone else will have an idea about how to approximate the date for a FM2n. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arachnophilia Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 i seem to recall that the fm2n had a VERY long production run. they just recently discontinued service on it, and it began its run in, i think 1982. why do you need to know when they were made?

chris_chow Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 My F3 has s/n. 1751---. It has faint "Jan 1988" stamped inside the film chamber. So yours should be around 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
