Thanks for posting these assorted camera reviews. In particular this FE review. I find the style kind of nutz and boltzy, which seems appropriate given that its mostly a mechanical camera.

Couple of questions, the "lab report" starts in mid sentence, and continues on page 230. Any chance of adding the missing text?

Likewise the reviewer short-cuts the review by referring the reader to an earlier review, 1977 Nikon FM, for more details. Any chance you having that review available as well?

The 1977 FM review would be interesting. The Lab Report may not have anymore information, so don't bother if it does add anything.

I can't help smiling at the thought of the reviewer handing back a bag of parts to the Nikon Rep, "here's your loaner back".

Imagine what their faces would look like today if a reviewer did that with a D700 or similar digital camera.

Here's the rest of the review - I'd posted the lens test results in the lenses section of the forum

Thanks very much, greatly appreciated. Never had one of these cameras when they were new. I love the one I have now, but don't use it any more because of some funky behaviour. One of these days, with enough documentation, I'm going to pull it apart.
