Sold the Nikkormat, listed the N8008s tonight, and the EM is packed and waiting to be shipped to a fellow RFF member. This is all I have left of my Nikons, and I'm keeping it. Everyone should have one of these. Wonderful lens.

Don't laugh. If any first-generation copact AF deserves to be called a classic, it is this one.

Just a hastily arranged shot from some time ago. I've added an FM, a busted FE, an EM, and a motorised F since then.

And a better look at the F2S. Sorry, the motorised F is in parts on the bench right now.

I bought the F2 in the summer of 1973. I also purchased a lens a month for a while. This of course was when I was single. As much as I still enjoy my F2 today, I wouldn't trade a day of my past 37 years with my soul mate for it.
