Nikon F2

From Camerapedia.org

There are different versions of the F2 depending on the finder attached to the body. The body comes in chrome or in black. The plain prism finder DE-1 also comes in chrome or in black. All other finders are in black only.

• Standard F2 has the plain prism finder DE-1
• F2 photomic has the finder DP-1; uses semi-auto indexing so that the twist-twist must be done when mounting a lens. The prong on the lens communicates the aperture setting to the finder.
• F2S has the finder DP-2; DP-2 is similar to DP-1 except it uses diodes instead of needles to show over- or under-exposure.
• F2SB has the finder DP-3; DP-3 is an improvement of DP-2 using silicon-blue cells.
• F2A has the finder DP-11, which is the auto-indexing version of DP-1. An auto-indexing finder does not need the lens prong to indicate the aperture setting.
• F2AS has the finder DP-12, which is the auto-indexing version of DP-3.

• F2T or F2 Titan is titanium-clad.
