Rolf, I'm stoked, can't wait to try it, and even comes with a lens for that
price!
Excalibur, yes, I've heard all the talk (including Russ) about the EM, but
it was my first "real" SLR and the VF is a pleasure to look thru. |

Martin and Jussi, I'm thinking the FE and FE2 will be my most used SLRs. I
have motor drives for both (even bought an extra for spare) and like the
heft and grip it provides. Thanks. |

I now wish I'd taken the FE instead of the Pentax ES-II on the trip. For some reason the ES-II decided to act all prima donna about her metering. And I was shooting slide film too. One moment, she meters, the next, not. Something wasn't right. Luckily I had a trusty Bessa 66 also _________________ -Jussi

I hope the Goddess of Photography smiles down on your slide film, and
always look forward to your Bessa 66 shots!
Shot a roll of Ultramax 400 today, and am happy with the metering in the
FE2:

Vivitar Series 1, 28-90 zoom lens
Really like the build quality with this Nikon and I'm sure the FE is the same, with a good meter as well.
