How do you know it isn't my Subliminal HTML at work again....

Coincidence? Only in rangefinders...
 
I like to make a special request.
Tom, Please make sure we see some pictures of Mr. Barnack taken with a Nikon RF;)

You might first begin to think of obtaining a Nikkor 5.0cm/1.4 and then couple it to a CV R2S.

The real value is in the glass.

Mr. Kobayashi "saved" Nikkor RF glass from becoming paperweights.

Capre diem!

Kobayashi certainly helped revive interest in Nikon RFs. However, Nikon itself did, too, by reissuing its two best RF cameras. Neither the Nikon reissues nor the R2S have sold especially well because the original Nikon cameras from 50 years ago keep working just fine.
 
Recently, a nice condition Nikon S2 with 5cm F1.4 lens went for $500 on Ebay.

Prices are down on most Nikon RF equipment, save for the mint- to mint cameras and rare accessories. I've never had to send a Nikon S, S2, SP, S3, or S4 in for repair. They just work. I have cleaned the helical on an S2 myself, was not hard.

I have a Bessa R2, and it gets a lot of use. If you really need TTL metering and want Nikon S-Mount, the R2S is a good way to go. If you are handy with a meter, the "classic Nikon's" have a great viewfinder and are highly reliable.
 
I just passed on bidding for a user S2 with 50/1.4 yesterday - it went for $350 or so! I'm going to hold out for a S3-2000.
 
$350! WOW!

S2's are very nice users, especially for the 50. The finder will give you an idea of how an S3 behaves, and at these prices you can resell it without losing a dime.

Look! It's a Paperweight!

Brian: Thanks for the info on RFList. As for buying a Nikon camera, I know that one day I will get one with a 50/1.4 lens. Your enthusiasm for Nikon cameras is addictive.

No, no, no! You can't give such a cruddy month to Nikon. Therefore, I say we put Feb. as Canon's month!:D Nikon deserves something like May.:cool:
