My recently acquired Nikon F2 Photomic film camera which dates from 1976. I bought this in excellent condition for approximately 1/10th of the original (1970s) price and the 50mm f2 lens was included in the price. There are a few areas of "brassing" where the black colour has worn away but otherwise it seems to be working properly, even the meter, which is usually faulty on these old cameras. I am currently replacing the light-seals and mirror cushion which are in poor condition and then I will be ready to try it out. Photographed with a Nikon D500 camera and AF Micro Nikkor 60mm f2.8 macro lens. Processed with Pixlr. More information here: www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/f2.htm

Photographed with a Samyang 500mm f6.3 catadioptric (AKA "mirror") lens with manual focusing. These lenses are difficult to use but can produce good results when used in good lighting conditions with a fast shutter speed. Camera: Nikon D300S Software: Nikon Capture NX2.
