Yep, in my bag right now I have an F2 plain prism loaded with Tri-X and an F2 Photomic loaded with FP4+.
I still have six F2s in my arsenal (four F2ASs, an F2A and a plain F2). .
Last week i sold my F2AS and then i "couldn't fight it anymore" and bought this week a F2A model.
Does anyone like the F2A model better than the F2AS model? I had the "AS" (led readout, selenium cell) but i find the analog needle more comfortable in the viewfinder (less distracting), plus I feel rather assured that the battery will last longer (than in the LED model).
The F2AS is the only F2 I owned, and I didn't like it at all, it just felt wrong compared to my old F. It's a good solid camera but we never had the basis of a long-lasting relationship, and I quickly sold it on.Does anyone like the F2A model better than the F2AS model?
Suggest David is correct the door and body have triple baffles and don't need foam the mirror box needs foam to stop light leaks rather than as a buffer.The mirror seals are for light, I think. They're also usually gone. My "quick test" involves pushing down the mirror seal with a q-tip - if it does not return instantly or sticks even a little bit, I change all mirror and rear cover seals.

I have the (hope i am getting the nomenclature right) DP-1 and DP-2, which I guess makes it an F2S. Any of you guys have much experience with the "S".?
Anybody prefer their F2S over the others for some reason.?
I have not handled mine enough to really know what to think yet.
... I think the "S" is as far as I will ever move up the Nikon F2 Alphabet.![]()
