Nikon fe serial number years5/29/2023 Back then, we never dreamed of still undeveloped future advances such as TTL auto flash control, other exposure modes, and other exposure metering methods. How strange to think today that the mechanical body would be the main one, and the electronic camera would be the backup! Anyway, even though the FE was supposed to be a backup, I used it extremely often over the F2AS due to is Auto Exposure convenience, as well as smaller size and weight. However, the FE, being much smaller and lighter than the F2AS, was the perfect size and weight as a second body. When electronic shutter SLRs started to come to the market, many photographers, including myself, were not ready to give up our super reliable all-mechanical cameras for the newfangled electronic shutter bodies. Back in the days of the Nikon F and Nikon F2, the pro-level cameras were all-mechanical designs. Actually, I became a constant user of the original FE soon after it came out in 1978 as a backup body to my pro-level Nikon F2 Photomic AS.
