About the Nikon FE
The FE (1978) is the electronic, aperture-priority sibling of the FM, with manual exposure as well. It takes Nikon F-mount AI lenses and two LR44/SR44 cells; without batteries it still fires at a mechanical 1/90 sec (M90) or Bulb.
What affects the price
- Whether the shutter fires at every speed. Slow speeds that drag or a shutter that sticks cut the value sharply.
- Light seals and the mirror bumper: sticky or crumbling foam causes light leaks. Cheap to fix, but buyers price it in.
- Battery compartment corrosion and whether the light meter still reads.
- Viewfinder and prism: haze, fungus or de-silvering (dark bands) in the finder.
- Film-tested listings, with sample photos, sell for more than “untested”.

Are these sold prices?+
