LAST PIECE  ... Camera No : 771

It is in essence a limited edition kit of the FM2n bundled with a Nikon 50mm f1.4 AIS lens. Only 2,000 units were produced to comerate the YEAR 2000 by Nikon . This is reflected in the serial number as xxxx/2000 .The kit comes in a beautifully printed presentation box made of hard cardboard .The exterior of the box is printed in bright reflective gold colour, with a dragon motif and 2 lines of text -- "Nikon FM2 kit" and "Millennium Edition". The instruction manual for the camera is the standard manual for the FM2n, no mention of the millennium edition within. 

FM2n Gold ? The Nikon FM2 and the lens are not actually GOLD Plated but some would think IF the camera was designed as gold plated as with the Nikon FA gold in 1983, it may be too catchy to be used as normal SLR), maybe Nikon thought it the same way too.  It is fairly obvious from the first look that the camera and lens differs from the chrome finishes of the standard FM2n production models. The camera has a champagne finish , little lighter than the Nikon FM2T (Titanium) . The lens mounting ring that one usually finds in the lens, separating the focusing ring and the aperture ring is also similarly finished as the camera body; making it a perfect match. Very well thought of. The vinyl ( or whatever it is made of) covering to the body appears to be the same as the FM2n. Same colour, same texture and same grains. The covering is very homogeneous, and the workmanship in bonding the covering to the body work is first rated. 

What is most striking, is the presence of a dragon emblem right in the front panel, below the shutter release and the FM2 inscription The emblem is elliptical in shape, approximately 10mm by 22mm across, set in pitch black with the dragon in golden colour in very fine details. Otherwise there are very little differences between the millennium model and the standard production models in other aspects. The handling and feel of the camera is similar to the FM2n but then again to get a piece like this you will have to wait another millennium .
