An absolutely terrific camera, one of Nikon's classics.

The FE2 gives me complete control over the way I would like my pictures to turn out. Being a manual SLR, it gives me unparalleled flexibility. The metal body is sturdy and allows me to avoid subtle shake of the hand to a large degree.
It is the camera I learnt photography on, and I revere it for the same.

My favourite camera. Have been using this machine for over 25 years and it has never missed a beat.
Tethered to an MD-12 motordrive, the ergonomics are better than the D70 and D200 for my hand size (large).
The viewfinder is bright . . . by dslr standards, VERY bright, and focusing is always able to be exact with the absolutely accurate and beautiful split-screen and surrounding freznel field.
I've been playing, wide-eyed, with a D200 for a few weeks now, but the FE2 is still in the bag too whenever I venture out, and I dare say it always will be (well, as long as they keep making Velvia that is).

After a long time with Minolta manual focus cameras, I decided to switch after Minolta downgraded the quality of their 35mm MF bodies and I began to experience problems with the shutters and electronics.
This was the first manual Nikon I ever owned, purchased new in 1984, and I could not believe how beautfully it was built and how well it has worked. 1/4000 top shutter speed, 1/250 flash sync, smooth vertical metal shutter and ball bearing film wind mechanism. The tolerances are very tight, even today. I still have it, still works fine.

It's a Nikon, what else is there to say?

Really great, and built like a tank. It will outlive me for sure! Nice and heavy, not plastic, all metal and for great pictures. Its wonderful, but a couple times its gotten jammed.

Great camera that has lasted more than 20 years. This was my first camera and I still use it today, no complaints about it.

This camera does almost everything I could want it to do and it helps take beautiful photographs. It has a nice weight too.

I just purchased my Nikon FE2 this past sunday and I'm very pleased with the results. I've already burned a roll of 36 exposure 400 Tri-X and all of the prints came out well. I'm somewhat confused with how to use the meter on the inside of the camera, but regardless, I used my knowledge of light to get the best pictures possible. There's dirt on the prism inside the body which makes using the viewfinder somewhat difficult, but it's overall a very good maching. Advancing film is fast and simple, requiring little work from the photographer. The FE2 is light and a very well tuned machine for most types of photography.

Great optics. Very durable. Low maintenance. Older and a little heavier than the newer models.
