    Thanks freecom2 – I’ve watched a number of YouTube videos on how to do it to a variety of cameras – I’ve not seen one for the F2 tho – I’m guessing down the sides of the mirror will be tricky – but I’ll just do it when there’s no kids or interruptions and take my time – I just hope that after...

    I used to develop B&W film all though the 90's and i'm looking forward to picking it up again - Neopan 1600 was my favorite

    Ahhh - well done I've been searching for a standard back door and they don't seem too pricey - Think I'm going to do the seals first and then run a roll of film through before I go too mad - Also just a battery coming tomorrow so fingers crossed the meter still works or it's Sunny 16 all the way !!

    Thanks Trevor – I’ve heard his name a lot over the last few weeks of researching this camera – I heard he had a 14 month waiting list !! I’ll email him a better photo of this back and hopefully he can help – I would really prefer a back with no extra goodies on it as it makes it feel quite...

    Nikon F2 AS

    Thanks - everyone was saying the same - I can see it's a much loved camera by the feedback - that's why I thought it's a good idea to clean it up and get it used - It was filthy and I didn't really know what it was and it ended up being boxed and forgotten about - That's really good to know...

    Nikon F2 AS

    Hello everyone - Last week I found an old Nikon that had been given to me about 25 years ago - I put it in a box and forgot about it… I found it and realised thanks to the film community on Twitter that it was a F2 AS – Many many people made comments of such a wonderful camera that I thought I...
