Robust, dependable, workmanlike, honest, no frills system camera.

General Comments

I've owned this Nikon F2 35mm SLR camera for the past 10 years and its never let me down and I doubt it ever will. No it isnt like the modern marvels that to my mind take away a lot of the photographers thinking. I've owned and used many SLR's Olympus OM1 Leica R3 and Mamiya RZ, ALL GREAT CAMERAS and all have their own merits but theres just something about the F2 that feels different. To my mind its easy to use at speed when your used to it and has never caused me any probs in that dept. Many say its a bit too heavy but hey, quality is never light in weight is it. Hand built to withstand anything the F2 and I'll be keeping with it for years to come. But what about digital..?...Ah well, heres one fella whos never been really won over by it. Its fast yes, no waiting about for films to be sorted but its just so clinical dont you think. Quality ? well can it really compare to a projected slide or a great print taken from Kodakchrome 25?.
