Just pulled the trigger on a standard prism Nikon F from Japan. Should arrive by my birthday later this month.

Of. course there's been no subliminal influence or enabling here on RFF......

I'm also eyeing one in chrome, for much less. Guess the S2/3 RF will have to wait until Christmas.

The only camera I ever regret selling is a Nikon F, black 64 with plain prism. So smooth, so worn, and didn't have that annoying ping that some SLR's have. Didn't cost much to buy it; didn't get much when I sold it either during 'the Great Camera Selll Off of 2018.' Nice camera, wish I kept it, and non-ai lenses are really good with B&W film.

It’s going to need a good cleaning.

Nice. They're such lovely machines! This is mine ... an early, plain prism F (1964ish vintage):
It was a terrible mess when I got it, my old camera tech friend did a fantastic job of bringing it back to life.

It has a reputation for being an absolutely superb lens, Sigma came out with two at about the same time that were no holds barred optical quality. (The other was their 105/1.4 which is so big that it has a tripod foot. I just found one of those, too.) The SL2 will be mostly for my M glass, but I figured having a couple of really first class lenses that are fully depreciated would be fun. I won’t lose much if anything if I decide they are too much.

Have fun with it, supposed to be a very good lens. Basically the SLR version with an adapter for L mount built in.
I have the 35mm f1.2 DG DN which is fantastic as well. Crazy sharp wide open and renders beautifully.

I hope it meets your expectations and performs brilliantly.
Me? I'm uninterested in any 40mm lens that is the size of a bazooka.

But wait until you see how cute the donkey is that I use to drag the cart used to haul the lens!I hope it meets your expectations and performs brilliantly.
