Nikon FE2

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.
