What is the cost of developing a 36 roll of film or slides these days, not to mention prints?

I would pay $2 to have that cool antique. My oldest daughter, who inherited my photography genes, uses my 1977 Nikon F2. She loves it!

I've had one (in black) for nearly 40 years, it still will produce photos that really reveal my lack of photographic skills. The most foolproof camera I have ever owned (I'm the fool it proofs). I never could get the filters down pat for the various artificial lighting scenarios. It made beautiful daylight photos In both color and black&white. One of these days I'll take it along to see if I have learned anything yet. Actually I liked the first one so well I got a second one about 30 years ago, just after I got an FE2. Wonderful cameras!
Congratulations!
Congratulations!

Real photographers don't need no stinking light meters...I prefer my FM2 with a broken light meter and a 50mm f2 H lens... Congratulations on your amazing steal of a deal!

You may have a problem finding a battery. I had a Nikon FN and while I could find batteries that were the right diameter, the voltages were different. Perhaps someone at UHH knows a source for these batteries.

The Nikon FE takes 2 S76 or 2 A76 cells, or 1 3v 2L44 battery.
The FE has a test light on the left near the top and you push the lever down to test. If the red light turns on you should be good to go for a while. The batteries last for at least a year or several years.
Ken Rockwell gives some good information on the Nikon FE, so check his web site.
