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.

I bought this same camera new in 1979 along with 3 Nikkor lenses. With the emergence of digital and in a moment of insanity, I traded all of it in 2002. To be fair, it was well used and showing its age. Having been shooting digital professionally for the last 10 years, I've become nostalgic about the days of film. I found this camera on eBay and snapped it up. It appeared to be in mint condition and I was delighted to receive it, and having added new batteries and run film through it, found that it really is perfect in every way. I'm so happy to have my old Nikon back again, only this one is in much better condition! By the way, the Nikon F2AS is considered by most aficionados to be the last, best constructed, metal 35mm camera ever built, and along with the superb Nikkor F lenses they produce fantastic images.Read full review

I wanted an F2AS many years ago but settled on the then new FE followed by the FM with motor drive. Since then I've owned the F2 Photomic, F2A and finally the F2AS A beautifully designed camera and the LED display is a photographers dream-quick and accurate. My only qualm about it is it's a bit difficult to see the meter display in bright sunlight with the sun at your right or left-it just seems to disappear. Any other angle or an overcast or cloudy day there's no problem. This is the camera all us wanna be photographers wanted in 1977...I finally achieved my goal!! There's no moving up I've already arrived.:)
