I am shopping for a used camera and want a model that offers manual opertion, but has the ability to operate with a flash (in a hotshoe). I have a motordrive, flash and macro lense that are compaible with a Nikon EM body, and have been considering the Nikon FG as an opition. Does the Nikon FG have a manual setting (apeture and shutter speed)? Or do I want to look at the FG-20 for that? Would my lenses ect still fit and operate on one of these bodies? I am so confused!!

Hi John: Your 43-86mm zoom is a Non-AI lens. Most (but not all) Non-AI Nikkors can be converted to function with AI series cameras like the EM by maching the back edge of the aperture ring (years ago, you could just buy the AI ring from Nikon for a few dollars, but not any more). There are paople offering this service; typical prices are in the $25-50 range. You might try Googling "AI Conversion" and see if you find something, or I could point you to one.

Dear John: here is a lens development page that I compiled for this lens (48-86mm) http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/nikkoresources/zoomsMF/4386mm.htm
I am not sure if yours are which version, the last version is actually an Ai Zoom Nikkor which should works flawlessly with your EM, the earlier ones requires Ai conversion to fit for metering use with the EM. To find out which version of the Nikkor is, you can copy and paste this URL: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/nikonfmount/aiais.htm to verify your lens version of your Zoom Nikkor 43-86mm f/3.5 lens.

I can't imagine that I'm the only one, but I would love to see a digital databack made for the older FM/FE2/FA series cameras. I've got a not trivial amount of money tied up in lenses and bodies that even a decent 3-4 MP ccd mounted into a back would be worth something. Conceptually, it should be pretty straight forward (by replacing the film pressure plate and using the film canister chamber for batteries). Anyone with any thoughts or leads?

The "lenses for F401(x)" for Nikon FM etc. is not the main issue, the lens type is. I would think EXCEPT for the new ##G-Series##, all the Nikkor lenses (AF/MF (except for the oldies with non-Ai) will works flawlessly. THE G Nikkor doesn't has an aperture ring so, they cannot be used for manual or aperture control adjustments of exposure. IF yours are AF Nikkor (those G-Nikkor doesn't has a inner aperture ring near the rear mount in a separate ring) will & SHOULD WORK !

I read yours as FM series (any models, the last within the series is Nikon FM3A http://mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonfmseries/fm3a/index.htm - by the way, a great write-up !) but there is no FM4 yet (not to my knowledge..) I guess you are referring to Nikon F4 ? see http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonf4/index.htm

YEeeap. The SP was used to to be the professional class rangefinder camera. In fact, that was the camera that first time the west which dominated by Leica and Contax who first took notice of the quality of the Japanese manufactuers (camera and lenses). For any Nikon fan, the SP has a specaial feeling..as collectible. Good conditioned SP is very very expensive some interesting accessories like the MOtor Drive + others like angle finders etc. are very scarce in numbers and aslo very expensive. Personally, I like the SP more than others.
