Product Description
The Nikon FE is a classic, semi-professional 35mm SLR that is widely regarded as one of the most reliable and versatile bodies in the Nikon F-mount ecosystem. Introduced in 1978 as a more advanced counterpart to the mechanical FM, the FE features an electronically controlled shutter and a highly accurate Aperture-Priority Auto (A) mode. This allows photographers to select their desired aperture while the camera automatically determines the precise shutter speed for a perfect exposure. Housed in a compact, durable copper-aluminum alloy chassis with a timeless chrome finish, the FE strikes an ideal balance between rugged professional build quality and portable, intuitive handling.
One of the most significant advantages of the Nikon FE is its expansive compatibility with Nikon's optical heritage. It features a folding AI (Aperture Indexing) coupling lever, which allows it to use virtually every Nikon F-mount lens produced from 1959 to the present day, including both non-AI and AI/AI-S glass. The viewfinder is exceptionally bright and features a needle-style display that shows both the camera's recommended shutter speed and the user's manual selection, providing a clear and tactile shooting experience. For those who require total control, the FE also offers a full manual mode and a mechanical backup shutter speed of 1/90th of a second, ensuring the camera remains functional even if the batteries are depleted.
