Like New Condition | 35mm SLR Camera | The Elegant, Ultra-Compact Analog Masterpiece

The Nikon EM is a masterfully engineered 35mm SLR, designed to provide the legendary precision of the Nikon system in the most compact and accessible form possible. This unit is paired with the Nikon Lens Series E 50mm f/1.8, a "pancake" style prime lens celebrated for its surgical sharpness and incredibly slim profile. Launched in 1979 with industrial design by the renowned Giorgetto Giugiaro, the EM features a sophisticated Aperture-Priority auto-exposure system, allowing photographers to focus entirely on composition while the camera manages the shutter speed. With its lightweight copper-silumin aluminum alloy chassis and tactile simplicity, the EM delivers the mechanical soul and analog warmth that defined the golden era of Japanese SLR design.

Introductory Paragraph The Nikon EM is the definitive choice for the photographer who demands the "Nikon Look" in a package that fits easily into a daily bag. This specific kit is a standout because of its "Like New" preservation, maintaining the pristine cosmetic finish and mechanical fluidity that are rare for a camera of this vintage. The Series E 50mm f/1.8 lens is a perfect match; it is a high-contrast performer that renders colors with a natural, vibrant palette. Because it utilizes the standardized Nikon F-mount, the camera serves as a gateway to one of the most prestigious lens catalogs in history. Whether you are a street photographer seeking a discrete tool or a beginner looking for an honest introduction to film, this Nikon provides the digital-age convenience of auto-exposure with the timeless brilliance of analog optics.

Condition Report Like new condition. The Nikon camera body (S/N: 2937926) is in pristine aesthetic state with no visible signs of wear. The Series E 50mm lens is optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or scratches. The mechanical shutter has been tested and fires accurately across its electronic range and the M90 setting. The light meter is highly responsive, the viewfinder is clean, and the film transport mechanism is smooth. The battery compartment is spotless.

Specialist Note "The Nikon EM and the 50mm Series E are a match made in heaven. What I love about this model is its 'no-nonsense' philosophy—it doesn't distract you with complicated dials, it just lets you shoot. The lens is surprisingly sharp, often outperforming much larger optics from the same era. It’s a rugged, honest piece of Japanese engineering that is perfect for anyone who wants a lightweight, professional-quality film camera. To find an EM in this 'Like New' condition today is a true rarity; it feels like it just stepped off the shelf in 1980."
