The Nikon FE is a classic 35mm SLR that combines Nikon's compact, rugged body design with the convenience of aperture-priority automatic exposure. Introduced in 1978, it shares its proven chassis with the mechanical FM while adding an electronically controlled shutter with stepless speeds in auto mode.

The FE's match-needle viewfinder display is one of its most loved features. One needle shows the shutter speed selected by the camera or by you, and a second indicates the metered value, giving clear, analog-style feedback that many photographers find more intuitive than LED displays.

Exposure options are flexible: aperture-priority auto for fast shooting, full manual for complete control, exposure compensation of ±2 EV, and AE lock. If the battery runs out, the mechanical M90 setting and Bulb allow you to keep shooting.

The body is solidly built in metal and offers interchangeable focusing screens, a multiple-exposure lever, and compatibility with the MD-11 and MD-12 motor drives. The black finish gives the camera a discreet, professional look that is especially popular today.

The FE is ideal for street, travel, portrait, landscape, and documentary photography. Its automatic exposure makes it easy to concentrate on composition and timing, while the manual mode supports more deliberate work.

The camera uses the Nikon F mount and works with Ai, Ai-S, and Ai-converted Nikkor lenses, as well as many AF and AF-D lenses with aperture rings. Its fold-up meter coupling lever also allows non-Ai lenses to be mounted and used with stop-down metering.

This example includes the Nikon MF-12 data back, which allows date and time information to be imprinted directly onto the film. It is a useful tool for recording when images were made and adds a distinctive retro touch to your photographs.

If you want a compact, reliable Nikon SLR with automatic exposure, a classic black finish, and the added versatility of a data back, the Nikon FE with MF-12 Data Back is an excellent and highly recommended choice.
