Nikon FE2 with Nikon Series E 28mm f/2.8 lens. The camera also comes with a camera strap and the original manuals!
The Nikon FE2 is a 35mm SLR from Nikon launched in 1983 as the successor to the Nikon FE. It was manufactured until 1987. The Nikon FE2 was the first camera to feature a minimum flash sync speed of 1/250th of a second. This is possible because of the advanced Titanium shutter, with speeds from 8 seconds to 1/4000th of a second (actually in "A" mode the FE2 can expose much longer than 8 seconds). The film speed needs to be set manually using the wheel on the top left of the camera as the DX system is not supported. Similar to most Nikon models from the period, the FE2 features the 60/40 integral metering system.
The Nikon FE2 has only a few bells and whistles, but it is extremely well built and therefore still sought after today by users. Just two features,; which are both related to the self-timer lever are the only ones that are not immediately obvious. Pushing the lever towards the lens functions as the AE exposure lock. If the self-timer is enabled (which when fully engaged takes 10 seconds to release the shutter), the mirror flips up immediately after pushing the shutter button, thus minimizing vibration during the exposure. The FE2 is equipped with TTL OTF flash. Most Nikon flashes with TTL capability are supported, with the notable exception of the Nikon SB-900, which is only capable of iTTL OTF functionality. The only 35mm film camera which supports iTTL OTF is the Nikon F6. Being an "automatic" camera, the Nikon FE2 is equipped with an exposure compensation wheel, which allows compensation from EV -2 to EV +2. The shutter of the Nikon FE2 is electronically controlled. In case of battery failure, the 1/250th of a second shutter speed can be used in mechanical mode.
