Nikon F2 Photomic A F2A Black SLR Body

Description: For sale is the legendary Nikon F2A, a truly iconic camera in the history of photography. This particular unit is fully functional, though it does show some signs of wear from regular use, as seen in the photos. While the camera is in excellent working condition, the mirror foam will likely need to be replaced soon. The foam, which cushions the mirror when it flips up during exposure, tends to deteriorate over time. Replacing it will help ensure smoother mirror movement and prevent potential light leaks or vibrations that could affect image quality. Shutter Speeds: All shutter speeds function accurately, ensuring precise exposure control for a variety of lighting situations. The Nikon F2A is well-known for its robust mechanical shutter, offering a wide range of speeds from 1 second to 1/2000 second, plus a bulb setting for long exposures. Light Meter: The built-in light meter works perfectly, providing accurate exposure readings. I’ve just installed brand-new batteries, so the light meter is ready for use. The Nikon F2A is part of the renowned F2 series, considered one of the finest mechanical cameras ever made. Released in 1977, the F2A came with the DP-11 metering prism, which allowed for full-aperture metering with AI (Automatic Indexing) Nikkor lenses. This was a significant upgrade from earlier models and made the F2A a popular choice for professional photographers who needed reliability, precision, and durability in the field. Some of the standout features of the Nikon F2A include:Mechanical Excellence: The Nikon F2A is entirely mechanical, which means it does not rely on electronics for its basic functions. This makes it incredibly reliable, even in harsh environments where electronic cameras might fail.Modular Design: The F2 series was designed with a modular system, allowing users to swap out different viewfinders, focusing screens, and motor drives. This flexibility made it an extremely versatile camera for a wide range of photographic tasks.Durability: Built to withstand the demands of professional use, the Nikon F2A is constructed from high-quality materials, ensuring its longevity and resistance to the rigors of daily shooting.Viewfinder and Metering: The DP-11 viewfinder prism provides center-weighted TTL (Through The Lens) light metering, allowing photographers to achieve accurate exposures in various lighting conditions. This was a significant improvement over earlier models, making the F2A highly sought after by professionals. The Nikon F2A remains a workhorse camera, cherished by collectors and film photographers for its unmatched build quality, precision, and mechanical dependability.
