2014年1月3日 · The Nikon F2 has always held the top of the pile as being the finest mechanical 35mm camera ever made and having owned 2, I can vouch that they are bullet proof!. I don't know of anyone who has argued that point.There was an issue with the metering on the F2 models but there is a repairer in UK that can re-manufacture the tracking used to get ...

2023年7月14日 · The Nikon FA is a notable exception, it has an early variation on matrix metering and is fantastically amazing. More importantly however is the fact that all Nikon F2 are now more than 40 years old. As good as the metering is/was, don't expect too many of the existing Nikon F2 light meters to be very accurate.

2018年8月21日 · Well, the best low-light Nikon lens you could put on your F2 is the expensive 58/1.2 Noct-Nikkor. Wide open, it has superior resolution and fewer aberrations out to the edges of the frame than any other Nikon lens, so at f/1.4 or f/1.8 it might perform to your satisfaction.

2017年7月19日 · Nikon F2 Wiring Troubleshooting The attached image shows there are three areas where there could be connection issues. 1/ The battery compartment. 2/ The cocking arm points connection. 3/ The Finder points connection. These can be tested with a micrometer starting from the battery compartment.

2023年10月31日 · I have lately purchased a Nikon F2, and I seem to see that it features quite well made double light traps all around, which perhaps would be sufficiently light-tight even "dry", with no light seals at all like Voigtlanders. However, I see traces of …

2021年7月16日 · There are three motor drives for the Nikon F2. MD-1 MD-2 MD-3 I have one MD-1 and two MD-3 motor drives. The MD-1 and MD-2 motor drives are very similar in looks and function. The MD-1 and MD-2 motor drives cannot be removed from camera body when film is in the camera because the film will be exposed to light. The MD-3 motor drives are less ...

2022年11月28日 · I have a Nikon F2 with the standard DP-1 finder and whatever screen came with the camera. As my eyes get older (near 70 now), I'm finding it more difficult to accurately focus my 80-200/4.5 zoom, even in fairly bright conditions. What's the brightest focusing screen available that might make it easier for me to properly focus this lens? Thank you.

2016年1月20日 · Merely an anecdotal observation (meaning, draw no generalized conclusions), but I own an early 70s Nikon F2 w/DP1 finder. Thirty-five years later I took it in for its first CLA. The tech later apologized for charging a minimum fee. He stated that the camera was still in perfect condition. The shutter speeds all within factory tolerance.

2019年7月2日 · But for those who have and love pre-AI lenses (40% of my Nikon lenses are pre-AI), the F2, F2 Photomic, F2S, and F2SB are more desirable. Not only can we still mount AI(S) lenses, but we can mount pre-AI as well. Plus, we meter wide open.

2020年3月21日 · Hello everybody, I have a beautiful condition F2 that, until recently, worked perfectly. The metering system doesn't seem to want to cooperate. It remains in the 'minus' underexposed reading no matter what I do. Here's what I've done so far to troubleshoot.: 1. Swapped out three different...
