AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Nikon FE
Serial Number: 3472685
Thank you for viewing this item.
Introduced in 1978, the Nikon FE is a compact 35mm SLR that combined Nikon's traditional manual camera operation with an electronically controlled shutter and aperture-priority automatic exposure. It was developed as the electronic counterpart to the mechanical Nikon FM and became an important model in Nikon's compact SLR line. The combination of aperture-priority AE and manual exposure makes it suitable both for straightforward everyday shooting and for photographers who prefer direct control over exposure. Its Nikon F mount also gives access to the extensive range of compatible Nikkor lenses from the system's manual-focus era.
■ Appearance
There are some signs of use and light rubbing consistent with age, but the body remains generally clean overall.
Please note that there is some deformation on the top section of the camera body. This has been checked and does not cause any problem in normal use.
■ Viewfinder / Optics
There are some fine dust particles visible in the viewfinder, but it remains clear overall.
■ Functional
A series of basic camera operations has been checked and confirmed.
The camera is functioning properly during the performed tests, and the deformation on the top section does not interfere with normal operation.
■ Included Items
Please refer to the photos for all items included with this listing.
Only the items shown in the photos are included.

The item will be shipped from Japan by Japan Post International Air Small Packet with tracking.

Thank you very much for your interest. The Nikon FE offers a well-balanced combination of classic manual SLR operation and convenient aperture-priority automatic exposure, making it an appealing camera for both practical film photography and Nikon system enthusiasts.
