Review of Nikon FE
2 of 2 found this helpful Nikon was pretty much the only 35mm SLR brand professionals shot in the 60s and 70s, and there was good reason for this. Nikon had very high standards, and didn't offer entry level stuff. Until the 70s, they wouldn't even put the Nikon or Nikkor name on anything but professional quality gear. The eventual consumer grade lenses were called Series E instead of Nikkor, and the non-professional cameras were called Nikkormat. These were still very high quality items.
I have owned or used several 70s film cameras, and the Nikon FE is easily one of the best made. Many of these other cameras like the Canon AE-1, A-1, Pentax ME, are great cameras, and offer the same feature set, but there is a difference in quality.
If you want something with aperture priority auto exposure, full manual, and prefer a better build quality to lower weight and smaller size, the FE or FE-2 is hard to beat. It is also likely to have less problems than other cameras of that vintage.
Additionally, the Nikon lens range available for this camera is excellent. This camera can handle older non-AI lenses in stop down metering mode, and can use every Nikon lens until the recent G lenses, with some odd exceptions like the lenses designed for APS and DX.
How about some specs:
Nikon FE
Shutter speed 8-1/1000 + Bulb
Without battery Bulb and M90 settings work
Max Flash sync speed 1/125
Hot shoe and PC sync port for flash
~10 second self timer with mirror lock-up
Self timer lever pushed the other way will do exposure lock (not reflected in VF)
Exposure compensation from -2 to +2 in 1/2 stops
ISO settings from 12-3200 in 1/3 stops
Depth of field preview lever on side of lens mount
Compatible with pre-AI F lenses in stop down metering
Compatible with AI and later lenses with an aperture ring and designed for 35mm full frame
About my only want would be a small grip extension on the front, like the Canon A-1. In all, a good solid camera. Nice compromise on the weight and construction of a pro level camera like a Nikon F2 or Canon F-1 vs the smaller size and light weight of cheaper cameras aimed at consumers. This was often a pro's backup camera. All the features you need, but simple to use.

Caseta is a solid path for smart lights
3 of 3 found this helpful I had trouble with Z-Wave, so I decided to try Lutron Caseta after hearing good things about the system. I’m only about a month in on Caseta, but so far it has been rock solid.
Installation is nice because it only requires 2 wires, no neutral needed. I know people often prefer switches that have screws instead of wire tails, but for some reason it’s been a little easier for me, maybe the way my house is wired.
Coming from the GE Zwave switches I really like having the lights to indicate the dimming level, and the Pico remotes work really well. Lutron also integrates well with many other products, including HomeKit, which is a really nice benefit over Z Wave.
Buying the switch from eBay (new in box) saved me about 25% over buying in a store, so I really appreciated that as well.
