My M5s need red dots!
Igor, from Igorcameras, has a Nikon S2 with lens for sale on eBay.
Be aware, he's a bit optimistic in his descriptions, but otherwise very good and a fast shipper.
Item No. 140521933953

Igor is a good guy. I met him at a Nikon convention - knows his stuff and is very nice.

And reasonable to bargain with too. Don't be shy with discussing prices with him if there is something you want.

I bought my current S2 from him... and it came with lens hood and cap, leather case and strap for $495 (I think). With shipping I paid still a bit less than $520. I inquired if that was his last price... but then, it couldn't be better for what I got.
Only problem: the RF was out of alignment in the horizontal. Still works by aligning vertical lines. And the lens is ferociously sharp.
Thank for adding your comments, Vick!

Thanks for that heads up! Now I hope this thread doesn't get it too much attention...

RF vertical alignment is easy to fix, can be DIY.
Is it still out? You need to take the front plate out, which comes off by itself, and there is a screw that is accessible easily, near the middle of the viewfinder optics, to adjust it.

I tried. In fact, Brian sent me a PM with photos and all, but I just don't have the right tools. Since the VF needs a cleaning (the patch is not easy to view in low light), I'll send it to Don or to Pete sometime soon.
Just yesterday, I developed some film shot with this camera. Just family snapshots, but they look incredibly sharp and contrasty. I'll see to scan some later today...
BTW, there's one bid on the camera right now.
