Pandas aren't from Germany!

[Huss]

My Nikon F2 Panderized cuz I'm bored working from home...




The panda thing is popular amongst Leica doods and is a result of mixing bits of chrome and black Leicas together. Thus the panda. Of course pandas aren't from Japan, but, ya get the point!

(Is it 2022 yet?)

Without your hint I was clueless about the german thing.
And without the photo even about the Panda thing...

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

Black and white makes it a Panda thing? If that's the case, then most of my gear is...

Is that the expensive grip that's not as good as the Buttergrip?

 

[Chan Tran]

The MD-2 motor drive isn't avaiable in all black version so using it on a black F2 would make it panda too.

That reminds me of something I came across doing some research for the Nikonos thread. The "White Nikonos."

Yep. Looks cooler but not as comfortable to use.

That actually looks pretty cool. It doesn't look nearly as good the other way around - with a chrome body and black finder.

Reminds me of George Jefferson. It's a Zebra marriage!

Hmm, not so sure.

 

[Ariston]

Not as appealing to me... of course, that's how my F has been, by necessity, for a long time, so maybe I am just jaded.

Yeah, and you don't have to carry 10 AA batteries

I'd like to see a panda Pentax LX. I have the technicolor haggis one.

 

[RLangham]

There are some from Switzerland, aren’t there? Some of the later Alpas seemed to come like this by default.

 

[BradS]

The real thing.

 

[lecarp]

For a true Panda you must change the advance lever as well!
Oh! don't forget to feed it Bamboo leaves.

Somewhere around here I have a Voigtlander Bessa RF from the 30s with white leather.

Not a Nikon guy but that F2 looks pretty sharp like that.
