This Nikon F2 Photomic includes a DP-1 metering prism that's compatible with any Nikon lens equipped with indexing tabs (the "rabbit ears"). The F2 is Nikon's last (and arguably be st) all-mechanical pro SLR, with classic all-metal build quality and speeds to 1/2000s. In very good cosmetic condition, with some cosmetic wear, mostly on the baseplate, which has an ID engraving. Body and prism are just back from a complete overhaul by F2 specialist Sover Wong, for years of trouble-free service. Repair notes are below.
