Thanks very much Mike, I just put it in M90 and *click* everything's OK. I feel like such a newbie. Wait a minute, I am a newbie. Cheers!

I just did a very stupid thing to my FE, and something seems to have stopped working. I advanced the film, cocked the self-timer and depressed the shutter release button. However, before the self-timer could finish its winding travel and before the shutter opened, I unthinkingly pushed the film advance lever to its "off" position.

The shutter never opened, and the mirror is stuck at the lock-up position. Now I cant even advance film (film advance lever refuses to move), and I cant trigger the shutter. What do you think happened? Have I damaged anything? Help, please!

Maria the FE2 weighs approx 550g without any lens. Now len's? A little to a lot. They all weigh different amounts and you need to be specific about which one. George BTW why didn't you want to buy my camera? :-)

Hi, Can anyone tell me how much the FE2 weighs? with or without a lens, I just need to get a fair idea because I would like to buy one but the weight is an issue - I already own a Canon A-1, sturdy, excellent, but by today's standards....very heavy! Thanks! Maria

I have an FE, bought second-hand about ten years ago. It has had minimal use in the intervening time. It has a periodic problem with the mirror/shutter locking in the retracted position after the shutter is activated. I don't think that the problem is mechanical such as mirror slide physically jamming because when I vary the shutter speed knob from A to M90 this seems to release the mirror/shutter. Maybe I should again replace the battery. Does anyone have a suggested diagnosis and remedy? Thanks (PS: Please don't open my e-mail address up to spammers.)

Hi, when I was advancing a new fil my FE2 suddenly jammed. I opened the botton to free the mechanism, but it still jams after each shot and the mirror does not return to its place unless I move the lever inside the ring. The shop repair that I went (Fotomek in Rome, where I live) told me that an inside lever has broken requiring the change of a whole piece or circuitry, something that would cost around 160 Euro, more than the price of the camera. Any suggestions of what I can do or to where I can go (honest and reliable) to repair the camera in Rome? Thanks, Eduardo Gradilone

Hello and thanks in advance for all responses! I was wondering if an underwater housing has been made for the Nikon FE2...and if so, what is it called/the model name? Also, if you know anyone who might be selling one, please let me know! THANKS ! Brian

I have a Nikon model FE and a N8008 that I need owner`s manuals for or a copy of someone else`s out there that has either or both of these cameras. I would appreciate if someone could help. I will pay you what it costs you to copy them. Thanks again, Gary in PA
