That camera had some physical issues, so I replaced it with another that had more issues, and then I replaced it with another, which is the one being reviewed in this article. I cannot remember why I selected this particular model, but knowing myself, it’s probably because I thought it looked cool and it was cheap.Īfter getting that camera and shooting a few rolls of film in it, I quickly fell in love. +Infinity for being the best camera ever made, with no faults whatsoever, no matter what you say…īack in the summer of 2014, I bought my first film SLR, a Nikon EL2. This was my first Nikon film SLR and I’ll admit to having a bit of nostalgia for it, but even now, I cannot find any faults in it. I appreciate the larger size and high build quality of the older Nikkormat body with the addition of modern features like an infinitely variable electronic shutter, twin Silicon Blue Cell exposure meters, an extremely bright and easy to use viewfinder, excellent ergonomics, and support for both AI and Non-AI lenses. The Nikon EL2 is my favorite Nikon SLR and one of my favorite cameras ever. Weight: 993 grams (w/ lens), 773 grams (body only) Speeds (Manual): B, 8 – 1/1000 seconds, 1/90 mechanical with no batteryĮxposure Meter: 2x Silicon Blue Cells (SBC) and Aperture Priority AE, -1 to +2 EV override, AE-lockįlash Mount: Hot Shoe with M and X Flash Sync, 1/125 X-Sync speed Speeds (Automatic): 8 – 1/1000 seconds, stepless Shutter: Copal Square Vertically Traveling Metal Focal Plane Viewfinder: Fixed SLR Pentaprism w/ split image and microprism circle focus aides Lens: 50mm f/2 Nippon Kogaku Nikkor-H coated 6-elements + others The Nikon EL2 had a very short life, being replaced by the functionally similar, but much smaller Nikon FE a year after it’s release. The Nikon EL2 was also the first fixed prism SLR produced by Nippon Kogaku to be sold as a Nikon, rather than a Nikkormat. Like it’s predecessor, the camera featured a Copal Square electronic shutter with aperture priority automatic exposure, but improved upon it with a new metering system powered by twin Silicon Blue Cell (SBC) exposure meters, a slightly revised shutter speed scale, and support for new Automatic Indexing (AI) Nikkor lenses. The Nikon EL2 was a replacement for the earlier Nikkormat EL/ELW from 1972. This is a Nikon EL2, a 35mm Single Lens Reflex camera produced by Nippon Kogaku K.K.
