General Comments
The F2 is everything a camera should be. Many will argue that it is heavy; I personally think this is one of the most comfortable and well balanced cameras ever made; most of the modern lightweight cameras feel too flimsy to me. The shutter release is positive, and everything just seems to fall at your fingertips - there when you need it, but not obtrusive or in-the-way.



The Photomic prisms suffer from the typical old-Nikon woe - once the ring resister wears out, it's tough to get repaired. These cameras have also held their value incredibly well regardless - good for sellers, bad for buyers. A good F2 with the motor drive can sell for a LOT of money.



This is my primary shooter, and a camera I'd never even try to call myself a photographer without.
