Probably the best camera Nikon ever made.
This is my second F2 Photomic. These cameras are a wonder to handle. They are "old school." Made out of metal and all manual. In the hands of a skilled photographer it is the equivalent of the brush of an artist or the scapel of a surgeon. With one pull of the shutter cock you will be hooked after feeling the silky smoothness of the ball bearing supported film transport.
My preference is for the F2A. The bodies are the same on the F2. It is the viewfinder that makes the difference and they are interchangable. The Photomic came with the DP1 finder. The F2A came with the later and more user friendly DP11 finder. If you have any intention of shooting film, get one of these, The F2A is arguably the ultimate manual film camera.

Very capable camera. Very easy to use right out of the box. I WANT one!
1 of 1 found this helpful I am a long time part time pro. I normally shoot a Nikon D700. I went to an event this past weekend where I had made the decision to leave my camera at home and just be an observer. I got there and discovered that they were counting on me to be their photographer. I had given my Mother this camera for Mother's Day, and she had it in her purse. I took this camera and I photographed the event. It was outside in mostly open shade. The pictures turned out great. Although I had only handled the camera a short period of time the controls fell right to hand and it was easy to get the shots that I needed. I think it would be safe to label this as the camera that pro's take on vacation. I liked it quite a lot. It has a very good zoom range. The tonal range is VERY good for a sensor this size. Exposure was spot on. I did not use the flash at the event but while playing around with it before boxing it up for mom I noted that it did a very good job with flash exposure and that the light pattern was very even. With this camera you can set it to an auto mode and it will do it all, or if you want you can go all the way to full manual and control everything yourself. Nikon did a good job with this camera.

I made a living with this flash. It is powerful, precise, and reliable.
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought one of these flashes new at a photography store when they had just come out. I was a wedding photographer at the time. I used this flash with a quantum turbo battery and I would typically shoot around 330 images at a typical wedding. I made a living with this flash. I always had two of everything just in case but I never had reason to reach for the spare flash. I eventually ditched the External battery. One day I left it at home and discovered that I could shoot a whole wedding on a set of lithium batteries and still have decent recycle times. This is a very rugged, and capable piece of equipment. I used mine HARD for about six years. It was still functioning well with no signs of failing when my flash was destroyed in a house fire. I liked it so much that I have purchased two more to replace those lost in that fire.
