The Nikon FE is one of Nikon's most beloved compact manual-focus SLRs, introduced in 1978 as the aperture-priority sibling of the mechanical FM. In silver chrome, it has the classic look that defines 1970s and 1980s Nikon design, and it remains a favorite with film photographers worldwide.

The FE offers aperture-priority automatic exposure: set the aperture and the camera selects the correct shutter speed steplessly, from 8 seconds to 1/1000 second. For full creative control, simply switch to manual and use the clear match-needle display to set exposure.

Its metal chassis and precise controls give the FE a solid, professional feel in a body that is still compact and easy to carry. The bright viewfinder features interchangeable focusing screens, and the mechanical M90 and B settings allow continued shooting even if the battery runs out.

Center-weighted metering is famously consistent and easy to understand, and exposure compensation, AE lock, and depth-of-field preview give experienced photographers fine control. The FE also accepts the MD-11 and MD-12 motor drives for faster shooting.

This camera is ideal for street photography, travel, portraits, landscapes and everyday documentary work. Aperture-priority makes fast-moving situations easier, while the classic handling keeps you engaged with the image-making process.

The FE accepts the vast range of Nikon F-mount lenses: Ai and Ai-s Nikkors, Series E lenses, and AF Nikkors with aperture rings. Thanks to its folding meter coupling tab, it can also use older non-Ai lenses with stop-down metering, opening up even more options.

Today the Nikon FE remains highly valued for its perfect balance of automation and manual control, its reliability, and its access to one of the largest lens systems in photography.

We recommend the FE to both newcomers and experienced shooters who want a dependable, elegant Nikon film SLR. It is a timeless camera that is a pleasure to use every day.
