Hi, Everybody!
I have been a digital photographer for many years, and though I trained on an Olympus film camera in the U.S. Navy’s journalism school many years ago, it has been more than a decade since I picked up a “manual”. (My Olympus was an OM-1 or OM-2, I believe, but it was Navy property and I had to turn it in when my tour there was over. I would soon thereafter get my hands on a Fujifilm prototype digital camera – what would be called the “beta” version if it was computer software – and my photo habits were forever changed.)
I am here because I have a Nikon s2 Rangefinder to sell, posted in the classified section, but it seemed rude to sell something without a hello to the folks out there who really love the Rangefinders. When a friend of mine asked me to post the camera for him, I was pleased to find the Rangefinders have their own fan base. I shoot with Nikons myself – a D5500 and an older D80 – and am familiar with Nikon’s quality and versatility. But I was happily shocked to find out just what level of quality was involved with this particular camera.
Like a kid on Christmas morning, I was all smiles as I assessed it. The engineering is beyond belief. This nearly 60-year-old camera is as solid and fluid as the day it was born. So I understand everyone’s love of the s2. I hope this camera finds a happy home.
I note that though I am new to this forum, I am a longstanding member of DeviantArt, also under the name DansArtRealm, as I am with Pinterest and the Adobe Creative Cloud. I am also a new member on nikonforums.com.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Check out the camera if you’re in the market for one, or just check it out if you’re curious. There are plenty of photos to show it off. It’s a whole outfit, essentially, in its original carrying bag. It’s quite the little marvel. Wicked cool, as we say here in New England.
Peace Out!
