Are the speeds set on the clicks or are the shutter speeds continuously variable depending on the position of the dial? In other words if you put the dial halfway between 125th an 250th will it fire at 200th? Can the click stops be removed?
Not true. The F2 (entirely mechanical) is stepless above 1/80th and rumour has it the Nikkormats are above 1/125th.Short answer, no. Long answer, it is mechanically timed and an item of jewel like precision. Only electronically timed shutters are stepless. Access half stops on the lens.

Whats under that dial? Thanks.
I wouldnt think so because the meter would still accurately indicate proper exposure for me it would be just easier to turn the dial while looking through the viewfinder.It really isn’t necessary to have that level of control.
momus is right about why the clicks are there in the first place. Without them you’d be complaining very loudly about the errors you would be making.![]()
Thank you Kino. It looks to be just a removable tang. Do I dare??
I wouldn't, but that is me...View attachment 272409

... and me too.I wouldn't, but that is me...
of course, changing aperture changes DOF where changing thetimer does not. So, same exposure but different picture.Wouldn't "stepless" aperture be much more preferable and do the same thing?
Of course... Ever so negligibly so.of course, changing aperture changes DOF where changing thetimer does not. So, same exposure but different picture.
If I cant have stepless speed with the FM can I at least have clickless speed selection? Whats under that dial? Thanks.
