Nikon EM – Compact 35mm SLR for Nikon F Mount (SN: 6330696)
A lightweight entry-level Nikon SLR with automatic exposure – perfect for beginners.
The Nikon EM is a compact 35mm film SLR camera introduced in 1979, designed for amateur photographers who wanted Nikon quality in a simple, lightweight body. It features aperture-priority automatic exposure, with manual ISO setting and electronic shutter operation. Though compact, it maintains compatibility with Nikon’s vast range of F-mount lenses, including AI and AIS types.
Originally marketed as a beginner’s camera, the EM has since gained popularity for its solid metal chassis, classic Nikon styling, and ease of use. It’s ideal for street, travel, and everyday photography.
