My Nikon F2, I love it for many reasons. Sometimes I enjoy simply looking at it, I marvel at the build quality. My example I believe Made in 1974 . Hand assembled. Probably never been serviced yet it works flawless. Beautiful pictures it makes with my help of course. I know I would never sell this camera because it gives me joy it inspires confidence, it needs no batteries it is a proper tool for anyone making photographs. To anyone thinking of getting one I would say yes, its a no brainer . Let's face it what modern camera will out live you. F2 will. For those who moan about film cost I say shoot both. A roll of film in my camera could last 1 week or 1 month. Great video my friend just subscribed and clicked the bell and liked. Best wishes from Rep of Ireland

I've got two Nikon F2s but I rarely use them these days because of the huge weight. If you're young, fit, healthy and strong then no problem. But if, like me, you're old and past your prime, these cameras are massively heavy with almost any lens attached. They are indeed beautifully made, but the metering heads on mine rely on the little red diodes which can be hard to see sometimes. The DP11 metering head relies on the old fashioned +/- needle system though. When I've saved up enough money, I'll buy one to see if makes my F2's easier to use.

I’m strongly considering a F2 for my next 35mm and I think this video has given me the answers I needed! Also $300 for the camera and those rolls of film is unheard of haha great score!

Either you're using some weird mist/bloom diffusion filter on your piece to camera section, or you haven't graded the footage properly. It looks like you need to clean your lens!

i guess you can take the same kind of picture using Nikon EM
