About this product
Product Information
Experience the magic and mystery of shooting on film with the classic Nikon FE 35-millimeter SLR camera. Launched in 1978 and available until 1984, this semi-professional model provides the versatility of both manual and aperture-priority auto exposure. It can meet the demands of any project whether you're an amateur or experienced photographer. The FE was one of Nikon's earliest battery-powered cameras and comes with an automatic light meter and electronic shutter. Otherwise, the unit is completely mechanical. It allows you to practice your creativity while taking advantage of a few automated functions. A 50-millimeter lens is ideal for this popular camera. This Nikon FE is compatible with Nikon lenses that date all the way back to the 1950s. It has an aperture coupling pin that flips down. This is useful for a large variety of AI and non-AI lenses. You can even utilize a pre-AI Nikkor, but you may need to keep the camera in stop-down metering mode. By using a manual focus lens with an aperture ring, you can get optimal results from this Nikon product. The body is compact and lightweight at 400 grams. Without the lens, it measures 7.1 inches by 3 inches by 2.2 inches. With its intuitive controls and flexible design, the FE is user-friendly and easy to maneuver. Nikon built these cameras for durability. Each one has a metal body that is covered with a black leather-like material and trimmed in chrome brass. The lens mount is made of pure stainless steel. Although the camera is precise, it doesn't use much power. It requires either a 3V 2L44 lithium battery or two S76 or A76 cells. These tiny batteries can last for years, and they are disconnected when the meter is turned off. By shooting flash at 1/90 speed, you can save battery juice as well. The check light will come on if you have the batteries loaded correctly. The gauge will tell you weeks in advance when they need to be replaced. The Nikon FE takes nice pictures in the early morning and late evening hours. It has a mechanical bulb mode. With an analog internal circuitry, the system times long exposures automatically. First, it measures and locks the exposure, and then the mirror flips up for 10 seconds. No cable release is necessary. Afterward, the mirror will lock up and return. This SLR film camera has a metal-bladed, vertical-travel, focal-plane shutter with a speed range of eight to 1/1000 seconds. The release has a lock mechanism to keep you from exposing unintentionally. With a maximum speed of 1/125 electronically with flash, the action is fast and effective. It has two mechanical backup speeds plus an advance lever and crank rewind. The unit's analog needle is quick to respond. In the viewfinder, you'll be able to see the metered value and automatically selected speed. A green, transparent needle can also be seen showing the position of the shutter speed dial. The metering is shown almost exclusively within the large circle in the middle of the viewfinder. This Nikon classic will take a standard K screen as well as a B or E screen. If you want to return to an era of shooting on film, this camera is for you.
