Nikon F2 - Vintage Camera User Experience

Today we're looking at a Nikon F2, first released in 1971 as a fully redesigned successor to the popular Nikon F. F2s were widely adopted as the "PROFESSIONAL'S SLR". Nikon kept the F mount from the previous model, which was great for people who were upgrading to the F2. The F2 is modular, accommodating various accessories and interchangeable prisms. This all-metal classic weighs 840 grams without a lens.

I love that it's a simple, and fully manual camera - that I only need to set the aperture and shutter speed, relying on my own ability to gauge exposure. And that this camera will probably outlive -me-.

Thanks for watching.
