Nikon EL2 (Nikkormat EL2)

[obede]

Hi, dear

 

I have a Nikon FM2 and I intend to buy a Nikkormat EL2.

A friend of mine offers one to me. It is pristine.

 

Is it a good camera?

Where can I get its instruction manual (free)?

How much does it cost?

 

Thank you very much.

Does the EL2 offer any advantage over the FM2 which is one of the all time classic manual SLRs? If you need a second body, perhaps consider another FM2 or the slightly later one the FM2N.

There's spme info at (also look at their index for other articles)

If the price is right the Nikon EL2 is a fine camera but its

been superseded by FE2. The Nikon EL2 does not offer TTL flash

where as the FE2 does. The Nikon EL2 offers a top shutter speed

of only 1/1,000th while the FE2 offers 1/4,000th. A Nikon FM2 and

FE2 make a very nice pair. I prefer the FE2 during the day and

with flash and the FM2n during the evening when using fast prime

lenses.<br>

I hate to recommend against such a fine camera but for the best

results Id buy a clean Nikon FE2 or FM2n. Im a former

Nikon EL2 owner.<br>
