Nikon EM film camera, 

Series E 1.8/50mm lens, 

case

Purchased at a recent camera club swap meeting, this is a classic camera made between 1979-1982 and much loved by Nikon fans, Cocked and fired in all three positions (B, M90 and AUTO), I inserted two A76/LR44 batteries (supplied) and I could get a response from the light meter and viewfinder needle – so the circuit seems intact. Camera is in Good to Very Good condition, has a few chips, serial no is 7657131. Comes with a firm old style leather camera case and two Nikon straps. (3623/Woolies3)

Around the rim of the lens is printed `”Nikon LENS SERIES E 50mm 1:1.8 3324905 (serial no). Short pancake type lens, of the later silver version, internally clean, f/1.8-/f22, aperture blades move smoothly, all dials turn smoothly, no caps.

• At the casualphotophile entry Josh Solomon reviews this lens with example pictures. He concludes

At a time when film photography is becoming more glamorous and pricey, a humble, high-quality lens like this is worth a lot.

• Ken Rockwell also reviews this lens – and states

With this lens and almost any 35mm or digital Nikon, it could be the only lens you'll ever need: sharp, light, fast, and devoid of distortion.

• Dig down and find the entry by mir in Malaysia – as usual, excellent

I can post this camera, lens, case and straps around Australia in an eBay satchel for $12.00, or it can be picked up in 

Norman Park, Brisbane. eBay direct or cash on pick up is my preferred payment method.
