Considering my first 35mm camera.

Why do you like the f1.4 more? From what I've read, the 1.8 is sharper, has less distortion, and cheaper.



In what way does it not match up with pre-AI lenses? I'm not entirely familiar with Nikon's lens history. And I have zero interest in flash, in fact I'd put the FE2 under the category of having too many features I'll never need.

I like the f/1.4 over the f/1.8 for the extra speed. It's there when you need it that way. It was at f/2 most of the time indoors for me, but it was nice to have that extra there when I needed it.

As to the pre-AI, I've never had one.

Another vote in favor of FE.
I've been shooting it for just over a year now and I love it.

Split prism focus, Aperture priority mode, and a match-needle center-weighted meter are, for me, the most important features that every camera should have.

I do wish it had a better shooting grip and built in flash of the F80.

Cheers,
Som

I have a Nikon FG and really like it. It can so many lenses as well. It was not very expensive
