1/8/2024 0 Comments Fa camera retroOlder AI lenses only run in the standard program. If an AI-s zoom goes to 135mm or longer, it selects the fast program at all settings. When using AI-s lenses of 135mm and longer, the program shifts three stops. The FA has two programs: normal and High. Some lenses have diaphragms which are calibrated so that they may over or under expose a little, but on an FA, they all expose perfectly. This way the FA corrects for any errors in the lens' diaphragm mechanism, so I get exposures more consistent from lens to lens than on newer cameras. This means that while displaying the exposure any time the meter is on, the FA measures the actual exposure after the lens stops down to its taking aperture, just an instant before the actual exposure. The FA has a closed-loop exposure system. ![]() Newer cameras stop at 30 seconds of night exposure, while just like the FE, the FA will sit there for minutes clocking off a perfect time exposure. Unlike any newer Nikons, the FA is also the only camera with Matrix metering which can meter exposures of seemingly unlimited duration. The F100 can't Matrix meter with manual lenses, so I had to buy all AF lenses as well, all part of Nikon's master plan. ![]() This may seem like a weird set of conditions, however almost all my shooting is done in Program auto and Matrix, so its important to me.īecause of this, I used an FA for all of my most serious 35mm shooting from 1992-1999 when I replaced it with an F100. ![]() The FA is the only camera on earth that can give Program auto exposure along with Matrix metering with all AI and AI-s manual-focus lenses. The Nikon FA is the most advanced manual-focus camera ever designed by Nikon.
