Nikon FE2
The Nikon FE2, launched in 1983, was an enhanced version of the popular FE that offered improved performance for demanding photography applications. This compact 35mm SLR featured aperture-priority automatic exposure alongside full manual control, housed in a robust mechanical body with exceptional build quality. The FE2's key improvement was its faster maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 second (compared to the FE's 1/1000), making it ideal for sports and action photography. Additional features included center-weighted metering, bright viewfinder with LED exposure indicators, and full compatibility with AI and manual Nikkor lenses. The camera incorporated TTL flash metering and offered exceptional reliability through its mechanical operation. The FE2 became extremely popular among professional photographers and serious enthusiasts who valued precise manual control, compact size, and legendary Nikon durability, establishing itself as one of the finest manual-focus SLRs ever produced.
