Nikon FE Black 35mm SLR + Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 Ai Lens

The Nikon FE is one of the true legends of Nikon's late-1970s SLR lineup — a fully mechanical-feeling camera with electronic brains. It features aperture-priority auto exposure, a bright and contrasty viewfinder with match-needle metering, and full manual controls when you want them. This one comes in the less common and very desirable black finish.

Paired with the ultra-sharp Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 Ai lens, you've got a lightweight but serious photographic tool. This lens is known for its excellent contrast, pleasant bokeh, and razor-sharp center — all in a compact package that balances beautifully on the FE body. A favorite among street shooters, travel photographers, and film students alike.

Condition: Excellent

This Nikon FE is in excellent condition with only minor signs of use. The black finish looks great with some light brassing on the edges — the kind that tells a story without being beat-up. Shutter speeds are accurate, meter is responsive, and the film advance is smooth. The included 50mm f/1.8 Ai lens is clean and clear, with no haze, fungus, or major scratches. Focus is smooth and aperture blades are snappy and oil-free.

This is a fantastic setup for anyone wanting a classic Nikon film SLR that doesn’t weigh a ton but still gives you full control and compatibility with Nikon’s legendary F-mount glass.
