Yeah, that is Doug Napier's camera. He is a long time Nikon Rf collector. Knows his stuff.
Nice guy too.

Nice, I'd love to have one of these, but if I were going to shell out the cash I think I'd go for a Black Dial.

Yeah, it is a very different affliction, to be lusting after black Nikon RF cameras.

Well the auction cannot be seen from the EU :
"Unfortunately, access to this particular item has been blocked due to legal restrictions in some countries.

Regrettably, in some cases, we may prevent users from accessing items that are not within the scope of said restrictions because of limitations of existing technology.

I have bought from Doug Napier several times in the past with no problem, so what's up with this listing so that it's been censored ?

Well the auction cannot be seen from the EU :
I can see it perfectly well from Germany. IIRC it is a issue with externally embedded images on ebay France. France long has fought a lonely battle to convert the Internet into a totally state controlled version of their former Minitel system, and it looks like they are getting close...

Wouldn't it be great if Nikon made a black S2 reissue....some with black dial, some with chrome. The stuff of dreams!

I still cannot see it, very strange because I usually can see Doug's items (unless, how could I have bought from him ?) with no problems whatsoever. Could somebody send me a copy of the description by PM ? There must be "something" within the text, and I guess it has nothing to do with the externally embedded images or the Minitel.

While I admit is has charcter, I'd opt for the S3 2000 in black.

Are these rare cameras? Because that's a lot of money for a very worn camera that doesn't even work correctly. So, the price must reflect its rarity.

Yes, quite rare. According to Mr Rotoloni, only around 1100 black S2s were made out of a total production of 56,000 S2s.
Here's another black one for sale. It looks beautiful.

It's not an original black S2 but a repaint.
