I think the FM had the first vertical shutter for Nikon. I still have mine.
Or at least the version that's in the camera right now I'm sure I've had it
replaced three times since 1978 when I got it. With an MD-11 winder which is
a good reason then to get into FM's in the first place.
A response to Maitani's OM1. They had to do something innovative other than
not have it emulate a Mac Truck like Nikon and Canon F's.

This gave you a blazingly fast unheard of until then on an SLR 125th of a
second sync speed!!!!
