+100 on this whole thread. Got my start with an FE2. Sold (and now regret selling) an FM3a. Now have two other FE2s and an FM2. How many more do I need to buy before its a stockpile?

I can help prevent that from happening. Send some my way ;)
Fe2 is the best camera ive ever used.
Excellent cameras. I've several: FM, FE, FE2, FM3A
Yes ,FM and FE are good cameras. But I prefer my ugly nikkormat and fancy F2. The life is sometimes easier with mirror lock up, distorsion free viewfinder(100% on F2). And shutter on F2 cause almost no vibration . And you can
use a nikkormat as hammer. It does not matter,every camera is good camera in proper hands.
Unfortunately I dropped my FE2. I need to find another one. But right now I am selling off my stuff.
Things I dont like: the viewfinder eyepeice is round and it cuts off the corners. The exposure compensation is hard to use.
The Nikon FG has a nice square viewfinder and the exposure compensation is 100 times easier to use. But the shutter sounds like an android having a hernia.
The self timer on the FM, FE and FE-2, also activates the mirror lock-up.
KK
The FE and the more manual Nikkormat FT3 are my favorite 35mm SLRs. Neither has failed me once in the decades I've had them.
I went out today and shot some tri-x on my FM2n. Looking forward to riding this dinosaur into 2013!
The FM3A is the Best camera I ever used, good for Travel.
