Dropping this to $100 plus shipping, U.S. only.

Not really game related, but I figured and see if any of you were interested in this before it goes on the bay or craigslist.

Selling my Nikon F2 Photomic, it's been a great camera but I haven't used it regularly for about a year now. Bought it around 4 years ago. It's in really excellent condition, all shutter speeds are accurate as tested by the shop I bought it from (Pacific Rim Camera up in Salem, OR). The light meter seems to be accurate, although I shoot kodak ektar 100 color negative and ilford b&w and those films are pretty forgiving if you're off a stop. I've never shot slide film through it so I don't know if the meter is super super accurate enough for something like velvia. I'm not saying it isn't, just that I've never shot that type of film. If you shoot velvia you most likely use a handheld spot meter anyways. To reiterate, it is definitely accurate enough in my experience to indicate correct exposure for both color negative and b&w.

The camera comes with the DP-1 finder and body cap, mirror is flawless, prism is great, light seals on the back are great, shutter and pressure plate are excellent. Basically, camera works great. The only small flaw is purely cosmetic, the plastic surrounding the eyepiece has a small vertical crack running through it. Doesn't affect anything. Check the pics and let me know if you're interested. I can also take closer pictures of specific things if you need me to. If you're interested, I can throw in a manual old school release, a camera bag, and a variety of filters.

$100 + shipping in the US, I can ship it however you want. I'll pack it up tight. Or pick it up from me here in San Diego! Let me know if you think my price is way off.
Make me an offer! Trades welcome!

P.S. This thing is a tank.

Beautiful camera at a great price. If I had any old Nikon glass I'd snatch this up in a heartbeat!

Alas, I've pretty much gone full digital nowadays, my F100 isn't getting any use either. :(

Thanks dude, I'm still holding onto my nikon primes in hope of using them on a digital nikon sometime in the future.

Everyone, I'm very open to offers or trades for game stuff!

Anyone interested in this? I'll throw in a decent sized camera bag, a fresh unopened battery, and a few rolls of Ektar 100! Make me an offer or offer me a trade! Seriously, I'd be interested in mvs carts or really any moderately cool game stuff.

Last bump, I think $100 is pretty cheap but I understand if there's not much interest in old film equipment.
