Hi all, I bought a 50mm f/1.2 for my FE. Now what I noticed is that when the shutter is cocked, the lever that lets the lens stop down ( during exposere or when th eDOF button os pressed) moves a little bit. This causes the lens to stop down to something between f/1.2 and f/1.4 (except when the aperture is set to f/1/2 of course). Is this normal? Or is it a defect of compatibility problem?
Same happens with this lens on my F2AS. But it does not occur on a F70 or D70. Anybody knows what's going on? Regards, Jaap Meiresonn Regards

I have recently been troubled with intermittent problems with the light meter to my FE2 and wonder whether there are any suggestions before I take it in for repair. Occasionally when I 'unhitch' the wind lever I cannot get any life out of the meter (new batteries have not solved this). The battery bay is clean and this is getting irritating - a few attempts or a gentle tap of he camera base usually restores normal service. I have heard that the electrics can be a bit iffy at times - is it easy to remove the base-plate to check for obvious loose wire?

My Nikon fe slr light meter seems to be stuck at 60/125 and will not move off of this setting. I have tried changing the batteries but to no avail. Anyone have any ideas as to the problem? Thanks.

I have very much enjoyed exploring this site and am thankful that I have been able to use the descriptions of the cameras and equipment to learn about my first SLR. My trusty FE2 did not come with the instructions; I have gained all the necessary operation instructions, and more, from the documentation here. I hope people will continue to use vintage Nikon gear - it brings me great satisfaction to be getting so much use from mine.

I am a recreational shooter with a Nikon FE2. After replacing the camera battery (with a single 3V) the camera will still only function in M250 or B mode. I have cleaned the battery and battery compartment contacts with a pencil eraser and a soft cloth. I have reset the mirror. When I partially depress the shutter release, the meter needle quivers almost imperceptibly, but does not function; nor will the mirror reset (except in M250 or B mode). I brought the battery back to the store and had it tested. Apparently, it has a full charge. What else can I do? Does anyone know what's wrong? How can I fix it?

I'm looking to get back into photography after 15 years away. My last rig was a OM2n with a 35 and 85 as standard lenses. My question is...does the FE2 accept a larger range of accessories than the first generation FE? I plan on basic photograhy with three to four lenses tops, and a basic flash. Does the FE accept AIs lenese as well? Thanks in advance, EP.

I have Nikon 800 camera. I have been using this camera for last 4 years. Recently it has developed a problem. When I am trying to take picture, the click button does not respond.

Added information to my previous question about my FM in the locked state. The frame counter is set to "s". I did try pushing the manual release to roll back the film as well. I have tried several rolls of film thinking that might change things, but no soap. Still lost, Thanks Martin
