Nikon FG: The Compact Classic That Grows With You
The Nikon FG may be small, but it quietly made Nikon history back in 1982. Why? You might ask. Well, It was the first Nikon SLR with Programmed Auto exposure, meaning it could choose the aperture and shutter speed while you focus, frame and catch the moment. Itโs classic Nikon confidence with a friendlier first-roll personality: light enough to bring everywhere, charming enough to become part of the outfit and clever enough to keep film photography from feeling like a final exam.
When curiosity kicks in, the FG is ready to grow with you. Aperture Priority lets you choose the depth of field while the camera handles shutter speed, and Manual mode hands you control of the entire exposure. You still focus the lens and advance the film yourself, so every photograph has that satisfying hands-on rhythm.
