I thought I was done selling stuff, and did have a stable outfit for several entire days:smile: But I suddenly have 3 new Zeiss mouths to feed, so am selling my nicest Nikon stuff (still keeping my old black user F outfit).

I think this gear is amazing, and hope you agree; much cheaper than a time machine.

Nikon F2S outfit in LN- condition (maybe something descends to EX+, but I don't really think so). This came from a meticulous local amateur who put his lenses back in the original boxes when not actually shooting with them. There are some signs of use and dust, but not much. My local store saw the camera and said they could just put it on the shelf and call it NOS (they did sell it when new). Most of the original warranty cards are included (filled out by the store).

Nikon F2S with everready case, translucent plastic "shipping" body cap and bottom cover. Very clean and in good working order. I've shot a half dozen rolls with it and everything seems right to me. Some dust and some bright marks on bottom and very, very slight scratches around the tripod socket. Some wear on the case. That's all I notice. Original instruction book (some wear) and "The Nikon way to photography" booklet (forgot to include them in the photo).

Lenses are all the period correct "K" models that are multicoated, rubber focus, and look like AI, but are just immediately prior to AI. All have been with this camera since new.

50mm f1.4 Nikkor originally sold as an outfit with the camera (both serial numbers on the warranty card). In box with original info/instruction booklet and original "shipping" translucent plastic rear cap. In my opinion these K's may be the best of the 1.4 normals; they were substantially tweaked from the "S" and even slightly from the "SC" version that Modern rated very highly in their testing. It holds its own well against my new Zeiss Planar.

55mm f3.5 Micro-Nikkor with PK-3 auto extension tube. In box with caps and original instruction booklet. A great sharp multicoated macro.

200mm f4 Nikkor telephoto with built in hood. In box with caps and original info/instruction booklet. A compact and very sharp (from full aperture) tele.

Hopefully priced to sell quickly at $450 plus very reasonable shipping. Payment by PayPal as a "gift". US only. Preference to Apug regulars but others welcome if I can tell you are legit (I mention this only because I've had some suspicious inquiries and offers in the past).

Lots of pictures coming as a get them done. I will be adding a couple more tomorrow.

Man, I guess I am happy to see that it's spoken for. I was simply drooling over all of that, especially the F2S (a variant I don't have). Hope it's going to a good home -- if things don't work out, well, let me know!

You had better quickly put this camera back in its protective packaging, all of our drool is going to corrode it!

Oh my, what an amazing kit - you could probably get double what you're asking for for it. I'm an Olympus OM man, but if I did not see your message that this was already spoken-for, I would have bought this without a second thought.

Wow.

Mark,

Just received the F2 and it was more than I expected the camera and lens do not look like they were ever used, The case has a better shine than my dress shoes when I was in the Air Force and the little tabs where the strap attach to the camera look new. I am glad you put the camera and lens back in there boxes because the drool would have hurt them. Thank you for the quick and safe packing and the extra teleconverter and flash adapter.

John
