Nikon EM. Here is a nice review of this unit (ours was purchased in 1999). The Nikon EM: A Compact 35mm Film Camera The Nikon EM is a 35mm film SLR camera that Nikon introduced in 1979. It was designed as a lightweight, compact entry-level camera for amateur photographers who wanted to move from point-and-shoot cameras to a more advanced system. One of the most notable features of the Nikon EM is its compact size and lightweight design. Weighing in at just over 400 grams, the camera is easy to carry around and handle. Its body is made of high-impact plastic, which helps keep the weight down while still maintaining durability. The Nikon EM has a fully automatic exposure system, which makes it easy for beginners to use. The camera automatically sets the aperture and shutter speed based on the lighting conditions and selected film speed. It also has a manual mode, allowing more advanced users to take control of the exposure settings. Another feature of the Nikon EM is its interchangeable lens system. The camera uses Nikon’s F-mount, which means it can be used with various lenses. This makes it a versatile camera that can be used for various photography styles, from portraits to landscapes to street photography. The viewfinder of the Nikon EM is bright and easy to use, with a 0.86x magnification and a split-image focusing aid. The camera also has a built-in light meter that helps ensure accurate exposures.
