Please have a look inside the legendary Nikon F2 When the first Nikon F was introduced in 1959 a new era took its beginning. Professional photographers got in their hands a 35mm SLR camera of very high quality and durability. The Nikon F had a bayonet for interchangable lenses which still is up to date 4 decenniums later on. The camera was designed with the possibility of interchangable viewfinders and lightmeters as well as a motor-drive and a lot of usefull accessories. In 1971 the Nikon F was followed by the Nikon F2. In many ways the construction of both cameras was similar, but the Nikon F2 got a more rounded shape, a faster shutter and many other advances. Also the complete new-designed optional motor-drive MD-1 was strong, fast and durable. As you can see on the pictures, each part of the camera was produced with an excellent finish. Even to day you can use the Nikon F2 as a professional tool: The bayonet of the camera fits even the most modern AF-S Nikkor lenses.
