Nikon FE classic 35mm camera with Nikon Nikkor 50mm f1.4 lens
Sold Out
The Nikon FE is a fantastic, classic electronic camera with manual focus and both manual and aperture priority automatic exposure.
This particular camera is in nice shape -- no dings and very little visible wear except for three points:
1. The black paint is missing from "N" on the front of the camera. Now it's an "ikon"! Purely cosmetic.
2. The exterior ring of the viewfinder is missing the rubberized black ring. Not a big deal unless you wear glasses -- the exposed metal ring can scratch glasses lenses if you press against it.
3. When I got this camera, the thin silver ring around the base of the lens mount that turns with the aperture was dented, which affected the way the camera's light meter worked. I disassembled that part of the camera and filed down the dents so that ring moves smoothly and the light meter works correctly. See photos for a closeup of the file marks on the ring at the bottom of the camera. Works fine now and the file marks are only noticeable if you're looking for them on the bottom of the camera.
This camera body has not been film tested, but all the mechanics seem to operate properly and the light meter works, giving me the exact same reading as my baseline test camera.
The lens is a coveted Nikon Nikkor 50mm f1.4. The lens has some visible dust and haze and some marring on the edge of the rear element -- see photos. I haven't seen image problems with photos I've shot with this lens, but I wasn't shooting into light sources or the sun, which is where I think issues like lower contrast might show up with this kind of marring. The lens body is in very nice shape with no visible dents.
I haven't tested the camera with a flash.
Batteries not included.
