The “blue button” EMs were the earlier models. The chrome were the later ones. No significant change except the rewind lever was made a little bit more robust since it seemed the earlier ones tended to break.
Hi, sorry I don't have one yet, though it is on my wishlist and searching for one from Japan in excellent condition, as soon as I bag one, a review will be coming, had several requests for the " New F1" so it's definitely one to get.
Hi i have a question. My my film advance lever doesnt work. It keeps sliding. At first i thought there was a srew loose but upon opening it up the shutter was stuck.
@@thephotographersbag thank you for responding. It was working properly. I just recently changed the battery like a few days ago. I was actually using it the same daybit broke. It did not fell on the ground or what so ever.
The EM was launched by Nikon to very belatedly stop the bleeding of new camera sales toward the then-new class of small, light SLRs, such as the Pentax ME and Olympus OM-1. Nikon still had the image of being the pro's camera, so the EM sold well as a cheap access to the Nikon line of equipment. The replacement FG is a far superior camera in terms of both features and technology, being also used as something of a test bed for technology used in the Nikon FA, then in development. Today, used prices for the FG are only a bit greater than the EM, if at all, so even used the EM is an "also ran". His praise for the Series E lenses is questionable. Apart from being largely plastic, Nikon also saved money on the lens coatings, using a single coating rather than the multi-coating which was then standard. The lenses as a group are not "highly recommended". A few, the 50mm, 100mm, and 75-150mm zoom are quite good. On the other hand, the 28mm may be the worst prime lens Nikon ever sold - a dog.
Hi, thanks for your comments and I have taken them onboard, will track down an FG model and give it a try, did the come with a Series E lens or a proper Nikkor? I agree re the 28mm lens, I find in general they are usually quite poor compared to other focal lengths, your views are appreciated....
