Severe GAS this week

<p>Found these at estate sales for a combined cost of $100. The Kodak Retina IIIc even works. No stripped<br>

cocking rack or sticky low shutter speeds. It has already had a roll of film run thru it but not developed<br>

yet.</p>

<p>The Nikon F2 came with a Nikkor 1.4/50, a Nikkor 2.5/105, and not pictured a Soligor 35-140mm Zoom<br>

that needs some cleaning. The 2.5/105 looked like it had hardly been used. Gave it some new light seals<br>

and put in a roll of film and took the first pics this morning with the 2.5/105.</p><div></div>

<p>One comment on the Nikon F2. It has as many buttons to push, levers to pull, and knobs to<br>

turn as an Exakta VX and it's a lot heavier.</p>

<p>Damn. The very Nikon and Nikkors I was after.</p>

<p>Good catch.</p>

Good aquisition the lens alone were worth the price I think!! I think an early F has entered my wish list !

<p>Rod great find, that's the "score" of the month !</p>

<p>With the exception of the Soligor, those are all very desirable and easy to receive a ROI.<br>

(Return On Investment)</p>

<p>Even better, that's an F2A with the DP-11 AI finder/meter!<br>

But, yeah, Nikon F or F2 with Photomic finder are heavy, and top-heavy. </p>

<p>You got a very good buy, and if you haven't used the 105/2.5 yet you'll love it. It's a heck of a good lens. I have one in AIS that was cheap because the previous owner engraved his SSN on it (sidetrack: people used to think that was a good idea??) and I use it all the time.</p>

<p>Wow, I'm envious. Awesome score!</p>

<p>Nikon F2 is my dream cam, a mint is a rare find and still very expensive in the third world but always nice to see people with a good find............................. </p>

<p>Nice find. The F2 remains one of my favorites, and my F2S gets used a fair bit. Unlike the fiddly Exaktas, though, the F2 has a titanium foil shutter curtain, among other qualities. The 50mm 1.4 and the 105 2.5 Nikkors will certainly lay to rest any thoughts of Exakta superiority ;)</p>

<p>OOOOOH! Nice...</p>

<p>Nice find. Have fun and post some photos.</p>
