I always loved these cameras. I already have an F2A and an F2AS and this was an opportunity I couldn't let pass by to complete my F2 family - a meterless F2 (also called eyepiece). It was also a certain bargain. I traded in a nice 24/2.8 AIS I wasn't putting to much use since I'd bought a 20/2.8D plus something around US$75. Considering the finder itself is hard to find and usually go for more than US$200 on eBay, not a bad deal since it came with a quite used but far from abused body and an interesting Nikkor-HC 50/2.0. This lens seems to be quite nice, I'm with a half shot film on the camera, can't wait to see the results. The kit have a 1960's look that attracts me even more. The camera's quality is unsurpassed - the best mechanical SLR ever. I can use ANY Nikkor on it with no problems - there's no meter... Only G and DX series present some inconveniences, like most DXs being made for APS size sensors which would result in vignetting. The body is from 1979, the lens from 1972/74. Both are in perfect working order and will last longer than me. I think they're a new and involving experience since you have to slow down a bit and can concentrate on composition much more since there are no bells and whistles or electronic gizmos. On the finder you see only the scene you're focusing, nothing else. Not even aperture or speed. You set them via a handheld meter (Minolta IV F in my case) and forget them - provided light doesn't change, of course. I picked it on friday and began shooting yesterday - half a roll yet. From this experience I really believe it'll help me improve at least my composition. Let's see what history the pictures will tell.
great choice ,congratulations ,I ve owned similar silver f2 body it was mechanicaly in perfect condition but the scratched focus screen forced me to abandon it as I couldnt find and alternative ,best regards
