Hmmm, the FE-2 is a gem (compact, nicely made mostly metal body
with a great ambient-light meter, TTL flash meter, 1/250th flash
sync., changeable screens [therefore cleanable VF], DOF preview
button, sorta-mirror-lock [using the self-timer], very sharp
viewfinder screen for easy manual focus, accurate quartz-timed
shutter, pleasant ergonomics) - so is the FM2n (same features,
but for the 3-LED meter, lack of TTL flash metering, mechanically-
timed shutter [not as accurate, but works without the battery]).
Hope This Helps
