It was a budget model made by Nikon and launched with a few budget lenses called Series E. The lenses, while budget priced ,where excellent. The 100mm series E macro was almost as good optically as it's 105mm Nikkor.
Nikon kept costs down on the EM by using a less robust casing than was normal for Nikon products, but the exposure system was good. It was too automatic for my liking...quite the reverse of your new fully manual EM.

I would second that - I can damned near shave with my 50mm f1.8. And it has a low front-to-back profile -it's almost a 'pancake' lens.

Steve,Hi.
I still have one(EM) which I use,don't use the E series lenses though,except one, the series E 36-72mm zoom.Fab results..
I use the expensive Nikkor from the other manual series.Great Camera works a charm.
You can get a motor drive with it (2 frames a second).

Will last a lifetime.
