Unfortunately, yes, a mess. I haven't been here for a while. I think I had some lenses stolen and was checking here for my information. There was a place to list all equipment with serial numbers, etc. Gone? Damn. I hope Philip made enough selling this to set up a scholarship fund for MIT students.

I've lost my F2 somewhere and I am going a little crazy. I am about ready to give up and buy a new one and write the other one off as a stupid

mistake.

Anyway, my question. My F2 was a '71, and the few I've seen are ranging from about '74 to the early eighties. Did these cameras improve or, as is

often the case, did they start using cheaper materials or skimp in other ways? I guess I want to know whether there is any advantage to buying

older cameras over newer ones or vice versa.

It's a real bummer losing a camera from the first year, but the winding arm didn't stay out for exposure, and the collar around the shutter release

was stuck so maybe I won't end up losing too much (except that lens, of course) by replacing it over fixing it--he tells himself over and over

rationalizing...
