Description

The Nikon FE is often called the "compact professional" SLR. It was the first Nikon to feature an electronically controlled shutter with an Aperture Priority "Auto" mode, while still offering full manual control. It is legendary for its build quality, featuring a copper-aluminum alloy chassis. This unit is paired with a Series E 50mm f/1.8 lens, which was Nikon's "budget" line in the late 70s but remains famous today for being incredibly sharp and compact.
