| 説明 | My quirky Nikon FE2. I’ve learned a lot about the fascinating camera. I have a FE but this is my first FE2. I came to own this camera but pure accident. While at a flea market I saw a black Nikon camera, with a lens, and asked the vendor if I could examine the camera. Well, what do you know, a FE2 with a Nikkor 50mm f1.4 ai-s!! I didn’t have any batteries to check the meter but it looked fine. Mirror was up, but it came loose later. The lens was stiff to turn but not bad and a bit moldy in places. The price?… $1000 New Taiwanese Dollars or @ $32 USD. Of course I tried to haggle but she would not budge. At $1000 (@ $32 USD) it is still a deal: I bought it. As I said, I own a FE and a FM2n and I know them well, but this camera is a bit different. Things that I thought were defective were actually part of the design, such as…The meter doesn’t start functioning until exposure 1 and the meter shuts off after 16 seconds. But…sometimes the meter on THIS camera doesn’t shut off. So, a quick rotation of film speed dial to M250 and it’s off. No sweat. Oh, the Nikkor lens…it got a CLA and for $44 USD, it’s like new. The focus and aperture are smooth as silk and the glass is immaculate AND I’ve decided to leave this 50mm on the FE2 as its main lens. I found them together and I think they’ll continue to work together. I’m enjoying this FE2 and probably will be its last owner because I think someone wouldn’t want to deal with moving the film speed to M250 to shut off the meter. No problem for me…I’m enjoying this camera. |
