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 35mm film. It was produced by Nippon Kogaku KK (today Nikon Corporation) in Japan from 1979 to 1982 (available as new from dealers until about 1984). The camera was designed and released to the growing market of new photographers entering the market who were buying SLRs. The EM uses a Seiko MFC-E focal-plane shutter with speeds from 1 to 1/1000 second, plus B, and X-sync at 1/90 second. It measures 86 mm (3.4 in) in height, 135 mm (5.3 in) in width, 54 mm (2.1 in) in depth, and weighs 460 g (16 oz). Unlike most Nikon cameras of that era, it was available only in black. The EM does not have a fully manual exposure mode, but was designed with less experienced photographers in mind, 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 tight, the film-advance mechanism lacked ball bearings, and a high-quality titanium shutter was not available.
