Just bought this Nikon FE (without the lens) from the same charity shop I got the recent MX from.

It's almost immaculate. The back has some white polystyrene from the box stuck to it but it is coming off. It even has the screw in eyepeice still in place. That's normally the first thing to disappear on this style Nikon.

It was less than £100. :-)

Came with the DW-2 and AR-1 but the 28/3.5 I had already.

Remember, you don't need batteries to use this camera in manual mode. It's entirely mechanical apart from the auto mode and meter.
Meter is switched on by pulling the wind on lever out, and switched off by pushing the little 'off' button on the back below the wind on lever.

My MZ-5 (posted earlier in this thread) came to me not working. Broken plastic gear on the motor shaft. Replaced the gear some time ago but this didn't cure the problem. I was having a look again last night and spotted that the aperture actuating lever in the body was in the wrong position. It sat at the top of it's travel rather than at the bottom. When i pressed the shutter release I could see something trying to move in that area but nothing happened. So I tried to move the lever down to the bottom where it should be but it wouldn't stay. I then tried again while pressing the shutter release to see if that would allow it to latch and when I did that the mirror flipped up and down. This was repeated and when I let go the lever it stayed at the bottom. I seem to have fixed it finally and I have a working MZ-5 with a new brass gear on the motor.
Now all I have to fix is the broken flash spring....

In Scotland a vest (UK type) can be called a "simmet".
