Nikon FG-20 - Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 - 35mm Film SLR Camera
Year Released: 1984
Fun Fact: This camera was never very popular. The FG-20 was often looked down on by photographers upon its release because the model lacked many of the latest and greatest features, but there is truly nothing to hate about it!
The Nikon FG-20 is a 35 mm film single-lens reflex (SLR) camera with interchangeable lenses. It was released by Nippon Kogaku K. K. (now the Nikon Corporation) as the successor to the earlier EM and FG cameras. It is actually a downgrade from its most direct predecessor, the FG, lacking the FG's program auto exposure mode. It uses the same vertical-travel metal focal-plane shutter as the FG, with electronically timed speeds from 1 to 1/1000 second as well as bulb and a mechanically timed 1/90-second speed. The FG-20 could be considered a variant of the FG, as the differences between the two are the omission of program mode, exposure compensation dial, and TTL/OTF flash metering from the FG.
One of the most intriguing features it has is that when set to aperture priority mode, the shutter speed was stepless. In other words, if the proper exposure for the chosen aperture is 1/75th of a second, or 1/840th of a second, the shutter can work at that speed. You can, of course, set any speed manually from 1 second to 1/1000th of a second in full stop steps as well.
This camera is clean, functional, and fully covered under Film Scouts' 30 day warranty. Overall, the FG-20 is light, portable, and fitted with a classic Nikon lens of that era, the 50mm Nikkor. You won't be disappointed with this SLR!
