Starting With Nikon FA 35mm SLR

[@knutvikgundersen4048]

I believe you got several things wrong; 1) The camera won't meter until you have taken at least 3 shots after changing film. 2) The contact on the front I believe is flash synch. 3) There are no red light indicator inside the viewfinder, just a LCD which displays shutter speed etc.

@@ahsanabbasphotography Thank you.... it might need a CLA but i'll find out shortly.

I'm pretty sure the new lenses without aperature rings will also get stuck at their max-aperature with the FA, and that they revert it to center-metering instead of matrix.

The FA is a forgotten camera I own one it’s metering is good every one goes for FE or FM they are great value for money I definitely recommend one to anyone

[@ahsanabbasphotography]

Definitely! A great little bargain awaits for a budding film photographer!

My FA doesn't have any colored lights to determine under, over, or corrected exposure. Its a plus or neg symbol. Could you please clarify? Thanks

[@ahsanabbasphotography]

Yes, that's right! Thank you for correcting!
