What is your Dslr model??
preferably a zoom would be good and not too heavy. not looking for high end ones just a normal one that is relatively good.
you need to look for AF-D lenses, G lenses not usable on your FM2.
I have a FM2n and used to use the D200 too.
The 135mm f/2D DC's manual focus ring is very nice to use on manual cameras...
Zooms made for AF cameras never did work well on the FM2n for me. It can get a little tiring to focus, but if you have no problems with the 50mm f/1.4D, this might not be a big problem for you. Why not try it out at a shop or something?
How long and what is your budget?
