Does it make sense using a Nikon EM film camera in todays digital world? I recently came across a supposed working example of a Nikon EM 35mm SLR camera from 1979, bought some Fuji 400 film, and plan to take the thing out to see what it can do after all these many decades, more than I have been alive.
The Nikon EM was among the first cameras to implement computer components in order to help users find the best exposure without being an expert at photography. The portion of the exposure triangle taken over in this case is shutter speed. Simply tell the camera what speed of film you have loaded, set the aperture for what you are trying to accomplish, and the camera will set the shutter speed to whatever it needs to be for perfect exposure. At least it's supposed to work that way in theory.
Today we are going to see if the Nikon EM can still pull it off after all these decades using 1970s technology.
