IMPORTANT!

The Nikon FE2 is an Al-type (Automatic Maximum Aperture Indexing) camera

which performs full-aperture metering with Al-type lenses such as Al-Nikkor and

Nikon Series E lenses. The aperture rings of these lenses are fitted with meter

coupling ridges iP (see illustration 1). Almost all lenses now manufactured by Nikon

are the Al-type. However, please confirm whether or not your lens is Al before using

it with the FE2. Al-Nikkor lenses are identified by the two holes in the meter coupling

shoe M (see illustration 2).

Although almost all Nikkor lenses that have the Nikon bayonet mount, as well as

Nikon Series E lenses, can be mounted on the FE2, the camera cannot be used

with Nikkor lenses that have not yet been modified to offer the Al facility nor with

a few special-purpose lenses, because the FE2's meter coupling lever is fixed and

the FE2 does not have a mirror lock-up mechanism. For particulars, refer to the

table below.
