Well, somewhat against my better judgement I picked up another Nikon F2 today. I really wasn't looking for one as I have two bodies already which I've complained several times about the troubles I've had keeping them in reliable condition. Anyhow, I saw one today that is probably the cleanest looking one I've seen. Shutter seems accurate (I'll run a test roll anyway) film advance is smooth as is the rewind mechanism. If going by the condition of the pressure plate, it looks like this camera has seen very little use but maybe those can be replaced. Light seals look OK but I may have to replace the foam for the mirror bumper before too long. All in all I had a good feeling about it so I went and bought it. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed I don't have trouble getting it repaired and maintained down the road like my others.
