F2s Photomic with DP-2 Prism 35mm SLR Film Camera Body (Used)

Samy's Camera — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 08:00:00 GMT

Manufactured from 1973 to 1977, the F2 S Photomic used the DP-2 head. Although it looked very different, the DP-2 was functional very similar to the DP-1. It substituted an all solid-state light-both-LEDs exposure control system using two arrow shaped light-emitting diode (LED) over/underexposure indicators for better visibility in low light situations and better overall reliability. This was important, because the DP-2's CdS meter had better low light sensitivity than the DP-1 – down to Exposure Value (EV) −2, instead of EV 1, at ASA 100. A chrome Nikon F2 S Photomic with Nikkor 50 mm f/1.4 lens had a US list price of $961 in 1976.

The Nikon F2-S Photomic offers the serious photographer the ultimate in quality performance, convenience and versatility. At the same time, it is engineered to take the guesswork out of photography with automatic features anyone can learn to use in minutes. While most older SLR system and in particular, mechanical SLR cameras are so much differently incorporation when compared with today's auto-everything high-tech SLR, to get the most out of your Nikon F2-S Photomic, you ought to study the instructions carefully and practice using the controls before you load any film in the camera.

This is a USED camera, the body has some signs of age and wear, curtain is free of tears. Overall great condition for it's age, shutter appears to work with no issues, can not test the shutter speeds to confirm the are accurate.

Samy's Camera — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 07:00:00 GMT

The W-Nikkor 3.5cm f/3.5 was believed to be only having a chrome on brass barrel outfit. Chrome and black finishing or simply single color design were available only at later years.

S Rangefinder 35mm Camera Body (Used)

Samy's Camera — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 07:00:00 GMT

The Nikon S, was made available early in 1951; it is a Nikon M with flash sync contacts, two sockets at the upper left-hand edge of the body. All cameras sold with this feature are considered a Nikon S by the factory, even if marked M. Despite its shortcomings, the Nikon S sold well, and became the first Nikon on the US market. By chance, a number of Nikon S cameras have one more serial number digit, known as the 8-digit Nikon S. When reaching 6099999 the engraver continued at 60910000, but it was soon realized that the long serial number was impractical, and after some 1200 cameras, the numbering reverted to 6100000. The 609 prefix refers to the date the design was approved in September 1946.

This is a USED camera. Overall Great shape for it's age. Does have signs of wear and age on the body. The shutter seem to work properly by human ear. Shutter has not been machine tested. Curtain is also in good condition.

S Binocular Microscope Kit w/Original Wood Case (Used)

Samy's Camera — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 07:00:00 GMT

Interchangeable parts made the Model S microscope a versatile tool for studies in biology, medicine, and metallurgy during the 1960s and 1970s. Depending on the user's needs, the microscope could be equipped with various combinations of eyepieces, eyepiece tubes, objectives, condensers, and stages.

The model S was equipped with a wooden accessory cabinet that could later be used for storage when the microscope was not in use. A two-sided reflecting mirror provided illumination for the basic microscope model. One side had a plane surface, which was used with the condenser. The other side had a concave surface, which was used without the condenser when employing an objective with a magnification of 20X or less. Illumination could also be provided by an ordinary 60-watt light bulb, with a daylight filter in place, or by the Köhler method with a Nikon universal microscope lamp. Nikon also provided built-in illumination alternatives. A small 15-watt substage lamp was available as a replacement for the mirror and the S-Ke model was equipped with a built-in Köhler illuminator.

There were four selections of eyepiece tubes available for the model S: inclined monocular, binocular, and two versions of trinocular. Four interchangeable stages provided a choice of surfaces for examining specimens and included a rectangular mechanical stage and a graduated, circular rotatable stage. The nosepiece could hold up to four objectives. A variety of achromatic and apochromatic objectives were available, designed specifically for either metallurgical (episcopic) or biological/medical (diascopic) studies

This is a USED microscope. The paperwork inside the case on the door, states, Model SM, however, I could find no information regarding an SM model. The scope is in great shape, the case contains everything you see in the photos and has a key to keep the case locked. I did not see any signs of fungus inside the lenses. There may be debris, but due to the age this is expected. The above information is about the Model S.
