Since with the inception of Nippon Kogaku until the current Nikon Corporation - they were probably hundreds of camera models as well as million of Nikkor optics being sold thus far. It is very hard to satisfy everyone intention when each surfer coming to this Pictorial History Website (first created since 1997). Over the last few years, I have constructed quite a number of sites featuring a selective Nikon camera models (Nikon F(based on Mike Liu's previous effort, the Nikon F2 series, F3 Series, Nikon F4, NIkon F5, the digital SLR series as well as the midrange models such as Nikon FM series, FA, FE series, Nikkormat/Nikomat and the compact EM/FG/FG20 etc..). Each of these featured model has their respective Message Board to support specific owner of each camera types. However, there are a number of very good Nikon SLRs (as well as the film and/or Digital compacts wer quite exciting too. But due to various reasons, I cannot featured them one by one. This Message Board was created just for that purpose - to provide a gateway for those that were not being featured. You may use it for whatever you think suitable - questions & answers (Q&A) or just make good use of it to share experience among one another. The use of this section of the photography SITE is not confined soly for this purpose, you may also make use of it for other photographic matters. Some of the remarks presented within the pictorial history site was entirely personal and I do not wish to influence any decision prior to any potential purchases or disposal of your equipment. You may make use of this convenience here to present your own views as well. Enjoy.

Hi Dan: Lenses for the FG-20 will fit and work on Nikon digital SLRs; however, in some models, the camera's light meter will not work. I'm not an expert on Nikon's lens-compatibility maze, but in general terms the meter will not work on models D40 through D100, but on the higher level models from D200 up you will get at least some meter function. Of course, you don't get autofocus in any case.

Hi makotoizm: Yes, it sounds like the problem is in the self timer. The self timer is mechanical in the EM, a set of springs and gears... chances are that there's something in the gears that stops it short of completing its operation. It can probably be fixed by cleaning it.

Hello, I have purchased a Nikon FG-20 at a yard sale. It is in fantastic condition. The seller was a photgrapher who took great care of it. Along with the camera came several zoom lenses. I was wondering if the zoom lenses are compatible with today's digital Nikon cameras? If I wanted to purchase a new Nikon digital camera, can I use the lenses that came with the Nikon FG-20? Thank you, Dam Dillard

Hi makotoizm: I don't have one handy, but it sounds like you did the right stuff. I assume your battery is good and your camera works normally when you use it without the self timer?
