New F2AS!

[NaChase]

Woohoo! A dream fulfilled! I got me a Nikon F2AS (BGN) from KEH. Naturally, the only reason it's "bargain" grade is that it has minor brassing and paint loss. The meter works great, the shutter speeds are spot on and it looks so damn good! I can't wait to take it out. It certainly complements my F2S, which was the first camera I ever bought. Man, I am super excited!

Congrats, Nick. It took a long time from when I first set eyes on an F2 untill I finally got an F2S. Never gonna let it go!

I know what you mean, between my two Leicas and Nikons I am pretty much set. All of them classics, and, in my opinion, the most beautiful representations of their respective brands: M3, M6, F2S, F2AS.

Although I love Nikon F3's, the Nikon F2AS is the sexiest camera that Nikon ever made. Wish my F3 had infinately variable shutter speeds like a F2 and the LED's on the metering instead of LCD's.

Recently got reacquainted by buying two F2's with DE-1 eye level prisms. Felt like coming home because a Nikon F2 was my first camera when I was in art school.

The best of luck.
