I did not plan to buy this Nikon F2...

That person must love and care about you a lot.

 

[Mystyler]

Damn it, I hate it when people do that! At least they bought you a nice example. 😀

The F2 is a fine camera. I still have the one I purchased in 1974. I must admit that it does not get used as often as it should.

A mint F2 is a special camera. My F2 is beaten up, but it works well.

Congrats. It sure looks to be in very good condition! Enjoy it and thank this mysterious person who clicked for you 😀

Seems like the OP is laying the ground work for an insanity defense. 😉

Ah , Nikon F's its a miracle that I only have one. I do have three Nikkormats however so I do understand these gremlins....

 

[Ljós]

Oh, a nice catch - by whoever pressed the button! 🙂
Great condition at a very good price.

I must say I've been on a spending spree lately - 40 expired original Velvia professional 120, 30 expired Fujicolor Pro 160S 220 and now F2. I think I am getting ready for the summer...

Nice looking camera for £100, My first F was an F2.

Does that same button pusher have a lens for you too...???

Let's not go there...

I don't need any lens
I don't need any new lens
I don't really need it..

My favorite Nikon, I think they are the acme of mechanical cameras, if I thought I could bag one like that for a century I would be happy!

Best,

normclarke.

Yep, You do... 😀

And there are F2s with black body, with chrome body & with titanium body. Not to mention the different viewfinders. Sooner or later y want to have em all.

 

[Paul Jenkin]

I've got a chrome bodied one with a working Photomic head. It cost me a lot more than £100 - but it is in pretty fine codition.

My F6's batteries packed up on me on Sunday - just at the point when I wanted to take some photos. I love my F6 but, unlike the F2, NOTHING works without batteries on the F6. Progress? Discuss.....

 

[Alpsman]

Because of failing or leaking batteries meanwhile i have 11 mechanical cameras.

Unfortunately, you're absolutely spot on. I'm always itching for an F2AS and F2SB 🙁

I only like the finders with a needle. The green & red lights are to much electrical schnickschnak for me.
