Pros: A masterpiece of mechanics and ergonomics

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Together with the Nikkor F 55 f1.2, it was my best match for my unfortunately rare moments when I felt like a 'genuine documentary photographer'... What can I say... It was built by people who loved sturdy, well-made things... Beautiful to look at and pleasant to use. I don't think there is a device that better synthesizes phototechnics 'on the ground'.

Pros: You can use it all day as a hammer after which you go to work in the studio, on the streets, anywhere and you don't miss a picture.

Cons: NOBODY

Opinion: I used the F2s (if I remember correctly with the dp2) for several years with the lenses 55 mm 1.2- 35 mm 1.4 and 85 mm 1.8 nikkor fixed lenses, for every kind of work, with these lenses you could do almost everything (apart from sport of course) when I worked for a commercial TV as a stage photographer (to date I think the most famous) I carried two f2 on one mounted the 55.1,2 and on the second a 80-200 focal 2.8 if I remember correctly... then I used a kodak 160 iso tungsten film, and at the end of the work no PP of course ... I think I "burned" maybe twenty photos in I do not know how many years ... heavy? :)))))))) On TV you caught 9 episodes out of 10: singers, dancers etc ... (all people who stood still waiting for you to naturally shoot :))))) ) ergo not to miss even a shot "carpe diem," I mounted an MD2 and (at that time a 5 fps monster) between motordrive full of batteries, machine and lens you had to go to the gym to keep it still, maybe shooting at 1/60, last but not least once you set the iso, you had to move the shutter speeds with your right hand, the diaphragm ring with the left, focus, with the second ring, roll the light meter, and then Bang!!! Well the photos were incredible, the lenses did not forgive you, but they gave you a lot if you knew how to move working on the times and the diaphragms ... I miss him??? Absolutely NO for the simple reason that I still have 3 that I keep with pride and total passion ... and I will NEVER sell! Currently I use a D300s with the old BG, dated, but "you have to give it" if you want it to give you, a bit like the extraordinary queen of 35 mm cameras. THE Nikon F2.

Pros: Designed for mature professionals (people trained in the street). The right completion of the NIKON F project. All the PROs you could want in the early 1970s.

Cons: Don't own it.

Opinion: Bought with many sacrifices in 1977, after i had worked for a year on a motorized with MD2, owned by the photographic studio in which I entered to be a shop boy, back in 1976. The only lens I had at the time was 105 mm. f. 2.5; Wonderful! The rest of the optical kit and the engine came later, when I opened my photo studio. I used it with great results for at least 20 years before they stole it from me. I never wanted to switch to F3 because, apart from the automatic exposure I hated at the time, everything else seemed to me to have gotten worse than my beloved F2. I'm not going to list all the technical solutions that made it the ONLY reflex in the world that could worthily replace hasselblads for the vast majority of professional applications. It was built to never stop! Who owned it, I'm sure he loved it like me. At the time I loved to say that he was more faithful than a woman; he never cheed! ;) In short: A MYTH that even today, in the right hands, would bring home, in many fields of application, excellent results!

Pros: The best 35mm mechanical camera in the world.

Cons: Slightly heavier and bulkier than FM/FM2. But it has the interchangeable sight.

Opinion: Nikon was able to improve the excellent F, creating an excellent mechanical machine. Almost indestructible, shutter with pure titanium tendon, precise and reliable. Ability to change focus screens and crosshairs. Motorzatable. Even today it is pure pleasure to photograph with this excellence, it does not go unnoticed... Of course it's not usable by everyone. Manual focus and exposure.
