Nikon S2 instruction manual

Bill's comment that one should always set the shutter speed after winding the shutter is not true on the S2.
Predicting the shutter speed on The Nikon S and old Leicas was difficult unless the shutter was wound—allowing the index mark to line up with the selected speed. The S2 has an center mark that can be used to select the shutter speed whether the shutter is wound or not. I almost never wind before selecting the shutter speed on my S2, and never have had a problem. Now my Nikon M is another story. You have to wind before setting. WES

Thank you for your kind words...looking forward to learning more about the camera and operating it myself one day!!

jl,
If by some wild chance dad's Nikon S2 is all black, it is worth about ten times more than what you paid to get it out of storage...:angel:

I have a manual for the S2. I am willing to scan it and post a PDF if someone will tell me how to upload a PDF to RFF. 😉

Thank you everyone for your responses...I can only make a quick reply at the moment...it isn't all black and thank each of you for your offers. I will have to get back to you...we are having a family crisis right now and I won't be able to be online for several days. Sorry. I so appreciate all your kind words and offers.

If you do decide to give the camera a CLA, I would consider Pete Smith in Fl. He did a excellent job on my S2 , and my 50mm 1.4 ,the cost was very fair , and I had the camera back in a little over a week.

Wonderful story!

I`d love to see some of the slides, I bet they are lovely🙂

It`s not often we get to relive fond memories in that way, I do have priceless slides from my Mother who was beautiful and we lost her way too young at 52
......she was also a part time PinUp model back in the Mid 1950`s 🙂 Bless Her!
