Question: My nikon FE2 doesnt work !!!?
im just starting out in film photography (used d-slrs before) and i have a nikon FE2 and after i put the film in, i try to advance the film with that lever, but it gets stuck half way, is it because my battery's dead !?Www@QuestionHome@Com

If your camera has locked up, and the shutter hasn't fired, then yes your film will jam!. Replace the battery!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it's more likely that something's gumming up the works!. I have an FM2, which is very similar, and you can still use it without batteries in it at all! All they power is the meter!.

Take it to a camera store, preferably a small locally owned store!. They usually know more about older cameras!. They might be able to fix it for you, or send it in for a good clean, lube and adjust!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
