Introduced in 1978, the Nikon FE is one of Nikon's most respected manual focus SLRs, combining the reliability of a robust mechanical design with the convenience of electronically controlled shutter speeds and aperture-priority automatic exposure. It also features a mechanical backup shutter speed (M90), allowing the camera to remain usable even if the batteries are depleted. Compatible with Nikon's extensive F-mount lens system, the FE is an excellent choice for portraits, street photography, travel, documentary work, landscapes, and everyday film photography.

This camera uses standard 35mm (135) film, producing images in the 24 × 36 mm format.
