FE Chrome Body Only
Released in 1978, the FE is a manual-focus SLR with manual exposure control or aperture-priority autoexposure, and electromechanical components. It also incorporates the "match-needle" exposure control system. This consists of two needles pointing along a vertical shutter speed scale on the left side of the viewfinder. In manual mode, a black needle points out the shutter speed recommended by the built-in, open aperture, through-the-lens (TTL), silicon photodiode (SPD) light meter, with 60/40 percent centerweighting, while a translucent green needle shows the actual camera-set shutter speed. The photographer adjusts the shutter speed and/or the lens aperture f-stop until the needles align. Extremely hard-wearing, the chassis of the FE became the basis of most of the F-series cameras until 2006.
