AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Nikon sought to make its cameras more accessible by creating a body that was more affordable than the FM without sacrificing quality.
The EM, marketed from 1979 to 1984, was reportedly designed by a designer from Ferrari.
Simplified, it has no exposure lock or depth-of-field preview; the body is smaller, the prism and focusing screen are not interchangeable, and the MD-E motor drive is limited to 2 frames per second.
Nevertheless, the essential features were retained: aperture-priority automatic exposure, a shutter speed range from 1/1000 to 1 second, the meter-selected shutter speed displayed in the viewfinder, a silicon photocell, center-weighted metering with a slight bias toward the bottom of the frame, overexposure and slow shutter speeds indicated by a faint beep, and exposure compensation.
Nikon developed a new range of lenses: the E series. Three lenses were available when the EM was launched: 50 mm f/1.8, 35 mm f/2.5, and 100 mm f/2.8, with a polycarbonate mount.
