The successor of the FE was introduced in March 1983. Compared to the FE, the FE2 has got the following improvements/changes:
-
The titan bladed shutter from the FM2 with shutter speeds 8 sec to 1/4000 and a mechanical 1/250.
-
Flash sync at 1/250 with TTL flash metering
-
Meter stays on for 20 seconds only, prevents battery drain
-
No battery check anymore
-
Viewfinder indicates exposure compesation
-
AI/AIS lenses only, pre-AI lenses could damage the camera
The FE2 was manufactured from March 1983 to 1987.
I purchased the pictured camera from a private owner in Basel / Switzerland, in July 2014.
Shown with a matching 50mm/1.8 AIS lens.
