Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Film Cameras
We are now in the age of electronic cameras and the results obtainable with electronic wonders is amazing. However, mechanical cameras, which reached their apex decades ago, can be astonishing mechanical wonders. Sure, a Leica M3 is marvelous, but so is the Nikon F2, particularly a late F2 AS. Oozes precision, the viewfinder is sharp, bright and contrasty making focusing a snap. Batteries are still readily available for the F2 Photomic finders. The F2 is the last of a venerable line of cameras, and its successor, the F3, is also great (I own both). Which is better? Neither but I do find some features are better on the F2 while the F3 has some better fetaures.

If a manual 35mm film camera is what you want, this is the one. Just oozes with quality. It's a little heavy but it's built tough. Great pictures, properly exposed and sharp. Been looking for one of these for a few years. In great condition.

Some things get better with age, and these all-mechanical Nikons are the ultimate expression of this thought. Properly serviced, there's no reason why it wouldn't last the rest of one's life and beyond. Imagine finally having bought the last camera you'll ever need; how that would free one up to actually then make photographs - rather than obsess over what's coming next, should you wait, etc. The F2AS incorporates enough modern technology in the DP-12 metered prism to be highly accurate and very useful with modern day lenses, while still possessing the magical qualities an all-mechanical, robust, highly engineered nuts and bolts old-school camera provides. It really is the perfect blend; the ultimate expression of engineering and technology for today's photographer interested in exploring the world of film.Read full review

I am a Nikon guy. I have several newer ones and a large collection of the best 35 mm film cameras as they are going up in value. I keep this F2AS and my F4 loaded with film at all times. I like the F2AS best. It is sweet and fast handling and the build is so high quality it is a joy just to hold it in your hands. Spend the money and get all black and as close to mint as possible. It is like owning a $40,000 Swiss watch that is an astonishingly good camera.
