One says FG on front& not sure its working.
The other says EM seems to work and I think is the newer of the 2 or
least worn. It has 3 settings B M90 and auto.
It took me 5 min to remove 50mm lens -it comes off clockwise! Lot tiny
fiddly buttons - purpose unknown.
The FG had the potential to be a really nice little camera, more or less
Nikon's answer to the Pentax Super Program.
They unfortunately were not a reliable camera from my experience.
Something about a circuit board that stretched across the top of the
camera being prone to crack at a bend and shutting down the camera.
A good repair tech could pop the top off and jumper the board with
ribbon cable and make it better than new.
Or so they told me.
It needs 2 S76 batteries to work. I recall that the more popular 357
didn't work as well as S76.
The EM (ze camera zat goes bip bip) was a really simple and incredibly
tough little camera.
I always thought canikons was a minor league hockey team.
No, that's Maple Loafs.
