Nikon FE 35mm SLR

The Nikon FE is one of the most celebrated compact manual focus SLRs Nikon ever produced — a beautifully engineered camera that combines Aperture Priority automatic exposure with full manual control in an elegant and precision-built body. Built around the Nikon F mount, it gives access to one of the widest and most respected lens ecosystems in photographic history. This particular example is offered as an Outlet item — the mirror requires replacement, meaning the camera is not currently fully functional for normal shooting and viewfinder use. It is offered as a project camera, parts donor, or for repair by a technician or experienced hobbyist, at a price that reflects this condition.

Key Features

• Nikon F mount — compatible with a vast range of Nikkor and third-party F mount lenses
• Aperture Priority and Manual exposure modes
• Centre-weighted TTL metering
• Compact and elegant body — one of Nikon's most refined manual focus designs
• Solid all-metal construction built to professional standards
• Self-timer function
• A respected classic from Nikon's golden era of film cameras

Condition Report

• Body: Outlet condition — light handling marks consistent with age and use, no cracks or damage to housing
• Sensor/Optics: Viewfinder mirror requires replacement — viewfinder image is currently affected; lens mount and focusing screen otherwise intact
• Mechanics/Electronics: Shutter mechanism not fully verified due to mirror issue; film transport mechanism appears to function; recommended for repair before use

"This FE is a genuine opportunity for anyone comfortable with camera repair or looking for a parts donor. The Nikon FE is a camera worth saving — once the mirror is replaced, you're left with one of the most elegant and capable manual focus SLRs Nikon ever made. Sold as-is and priced accordingly for the work required."
