Nikon F2 , the professionally workhorse of the pro’s of the 1970. ( 1976)
Though very different internally, the F2 was made as ergonomically identical to the original F as possible. Even the weight of the body with the initial DP-1 finder was kept within an ounce of the weight of the departing F with an FTN finder. But the improvements were extensive:
Extended shutter speed range of 10s to 1/2000
ASA 6 to 6400 with initial DP-1 head
Larger reflex mirror to minimize viewfinder vignetting with some lenses
Shorter 120 degree stroke, and integrated On/off switch in film advance lever
Rounded contour body for better ergonomics
Rewind crank with a 6mm raised position for easier manual film rewinding
Removable hinged back .
