I’ve been thinking about acquiring one of these and figured I would see if anyone is looking to sell theirs. Seems like people are very happy with this model but you never know till you ask…
The F2 has to be "assembled" out of the camera case and the lens mounted. The H1 (which I have) takes up more camera bag space. But the standards are already "erected" and a lens already mounted when you take it out of the bag or store it away. That makes it a little more convenient to set up and tear down.

Just keep in mind that you might need more depth, let;'s say 5-6 inches, for your camera bag for it to fit. I originally tried to get one of those bags with the wheels and extending handle. But the handle internal to the bag prevented the H-1 from fitting. So I went with a regular backpack bag that came with two film holder bags carrying 5 (4x5) film holders each.
