Nikon EM + Vivitar 2,8/28mm | Analogue camera

Nikon EM with a Vivitar 28mm 1:2.8 lens is a single-lens reflex camera (SLR) for beginners, with interchangeable lenses, for 35 mm film. It was manufactured by Nippon Kogaku KK (today Nikon Corporation) in Japan from 1979 to 1982 (available as new from a dealer until about 1984). The camera was designed and introduced to the market for the growing pool of new photographers entering the market who were buying SLRs. EM uses a Seiko MFC-E focal-plane shutter with speeds from 1 to 1/1000 second plus B and a flash synchronization of 1/90 second. It is 86 mm (3.4 in) tall, 135 mm (5.3 in) wide, 54 mm (2.1 in) deep and weighs 460 grams (16 ounces). Unlike most Nikon cameras of the time, it was available only in black. The EM camera does not have a fully manual exposure mode, but was designed for inexperienced photographers who could not easily master the complexities of shutter speeds and aperture values. There were also significant changes in the mechanical and electrical components of the EM camera to reduce production costs compared with previous Nikon cameras: dimensional tolerances were not as strict, the film advance mechanism did not use ball bearings, and a high-quality titanium shutter was not available.
