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 PJPA:

You're right, the EM does not have any built-in diopter adjustment on the viewfinder. I think that eyepiece correction lenses were made to fit the EM/FG series, but finding one that suits your needs at this point would be a daunting task.

Generally, eyeglasses are prescribed for good distance vision, and if you have bifocals the close-up distance is generally about 1/2 meter or so. The 1 meter apparent distance of a viewfinder unfortunately falls midway in between, and if your eyes do not comfortably adjust to that difference you may well have trouble. If you have progressive multifocal lenses, there may be a zone in the middle that works.

You might want to explain this situation to your optometrist, and possibly see if you could get some glasses made for photography.... a good combination would be a bifocal with the main lens set normally for distance vision and the close-up part set for comfortable viewing at 1 meter. I'm not sure how easy it will be to get that, but it seems like it shouldn't be too hard once the doctor understands what you need.

Hi I am looking for a remote shutter release for the Nikon F-401X. There does not seem to be any. The camera does not accept a cable release so how do I take pictures if I do not want to touch the camera??

Hi,

I've always wanted to take up photography, and only lately have I decided to take my mother's old equipment out of the drawer, its main article being a Nikon EM camera. When looking for more information than that in the instruction booklet I've found this site and its superb user manual. Thanks a lot for it! I've learnt a lot! There's only a problem, and I haven't been able to find an answer to it. I don't know whether this is the right place to ask, but I thought this information might be useful for others, too.

I cannot really get used to using the camera with my glasses on. I haven't been able to find any information about correction eyepieces for this model. Can you tell me whether there is such an accesory? I've found some info at Nikon's web site about having to have one's sight checked for a distance of 1 m... Is that the usual way of prescribing? I'm short-sighted, and I've got 3.75 diopters. Does that mean that I should use a -4.0 eyepiece? I've read something about a one-diopter lens already in the cameras, but I don't know whether that would mean that I need a -5.0 eyepiece... I don't think the EM has any built-in correction system.

Thank you very much!

Hi Mattia:

The 55/1.2 exists in both Non-AI and AI versions, but the great majority are Non-AI mounts.... and from your reference to the term "Nikkor-S", which was used on earlier lenses, I assume that yours is a Non-AI mount.

Non-AI lenses, as manufactured, should not be mounted on the FE2: the rear edge of the aperture ring of the lens presses against the tab on the coupling ring around the lens mount on the body, and it is possible to damage the camera body by over-stressing the coupling ring. At best, the meter will not give accurate readings if you manage to mount the lens safely.

However, it may get more complicated than that: very many Non-AI lenses have been modified, either by machining the rear edge of the aperture ring or by replacing the entire aperture ring using a conversion kit that was sold by Nikon for many years. You may have a lens that was not originally compatible with the FE2 but has been converted, in which case it would be perfectly usable.

I'm sorry for the complex, non-explanation, but Nikon came up with this mount, not me. If you have a digital camera, please take a clear photo of the back end of your lens and email it to me at the above address. If I can get a look at the back of the lens I can tell you whether it's okay to use it on your camera. There is something of an explanation of the Nikon lens mount changes of the 1970s at the attached URL link, but it might just make it all more confusing than it already is.

Hello! I have recently bought a Nikon FE2 (black) which is very lovely. I have some old lenses from my grandpa, one is a "Nikkor-S Auto 55mm f/1.2" - can I use this lens with the FE2? Ofcourse it fits well, mounted onto it, but I was thinking of correct exposure using the A-setting on the camera, automatic time. Thanks for your help! //Mattia

Hi Jim:

No, there is no digital back for the 801.

However, for what you would have had to pay for one if it existed, you can buy a Nikon digital camera body that will accept your lenses.

Does anyone know if someone makes a digital back for a Nikon F-801? If so please send info on where to obtain it.

Thanks,
