#NIKON F2 VIEWFINDER MANUAL#

It doesnвЂ™t say but I think AF lenses can be used if you stick to manual mode. If you stick to AI and AI-S (including E lenses) youвЂ™ll be safe. The manual lists lenses that вЂcanвЂ™ be used with the N2000 and says anything not on the list should not be used. There are also three specialty non-metered finders available for the F2: the DA-1 Action Finder (gives 63 mm or 2.5 of eye relief), the DW-1 Waist Level Finder. I havenвЂ™t noticed that battery life is a real problem with the AAAs though. Good to know!Д«attery check is done on any setting but B by lightly pressing the shutter release and looking for a red LED on the right side of the viewfinder.There is a Nikon AA battery holder (MB-3) that will allow you to use 4 AA batteries instead of the smaller, lighter AAA batteries, the weight tradeoff gets you 3x the battery life. Nikon F2 vs FM/FM2 - viewfinder and and general 'quality' feel as compared to an Olympus OM2n Gear/Film Big fan of Nikon for many years - I started in photography with their 1990s black plasticky electronic SLRs - think N90s, F801s, that generation there. This camera also has a feature which I mistook for a fault at first вЂ“ when you load new film in the camera, the first time you press the shutter it fires four times to wind the film on past the leader for you. Schneider) The DP-1 (the designation for the standard TTL prism) features a center-weighted metering circuit with CdS photocells. The viewfinder is very big and very bright. Push the film rewind slider and the adjacent rewind button simultaneously to release the spool clutch, then rewind manually with the crank. The Nikon F2 viewfinder displays the shutter speed and aperture, conveniently placed next to the meter needle. Set the mode switch to L (Lock) before rewinding the film.

Tips & TricksДЇilm speed is set automatically when the film speed index is set to DX, or you may set film speed manually. Light seals will need replacing at some point. There is an exposure lock lever on the front of the camera that saves the exposure setting in all auto modes for purpose of setting exposure and recomposing. The manual says to set to P for ease of use, the second range of Programmed auto modes (P HI) is essentially a high speed mode for moving subjects or when using a telephoto. Standard eyepieces supplied with Nikon SLR cameras have no corrective value and are for. It was replaced a year later by the autofocusing N2020. The Nikon 2923 is a replacement eyepiece for Nikons F2/F3/F cameras. Very ruggedly built, itвЂ™s a great choice for tossing in a backpack and heading wherever the feet want to go. Pictured here with my whopping Sigma AF 28-200 DL zoom, a great choice for AF bodies such as our often-used N6006 (unfortunately the built in flash casts shadows with this large lens). Four program modes (two Programmed auto, Aperture-priority, and Manual) make this functionally equivalent to a point and shoot SLR, minus the autofocus.

Four AAA batteries deliver a fast 2.5FPS. Super-cool general purpose Nikon body, with built in winder that adds neither significant weight nor bulk.
