Nikon F2 Titan Camera

[@99woodcutter]

Beautiful camera. Bought an earlier silver model a while back thanks to your other f2 video

[@RetroLindsay]

Growing up I started of with a practica mtl5 then went to a second hand canon ftb then got a second hand nikon f3 which I still use to this day

[@jazzyman9959]

finally I collected 3 mint-level Nikon F2 titans

GreatVideo thanks for sharing!!

[@peterahn6832]

Could you do a review of Pentax k1000 as well?

[@chenmunn]

Is the F2 Titan body very much lighter than the F2 body? And how are the mirrors in the F2/T DE-1 prism? Do they suffer from desilvering too?

[@japanvintagecamera8869]

I can't discern a difference in weight, titanium is lighter than brass, but the parts on the camera are very thick, and are very difficult to dent. The issue with the de-silvering is caused by the foam underneath the prism cover, so the Titan can suffer from it too. On the other hand, due to its value, the Titan is usually better taken care of, and problems are less common.

On my f2 there is no stop at my shutterspeed dial, is it possible to break the camera, if i switch from 1/2000s to B directly?

[@HansRutenbrecher]

completely normal

[@franciscraig8164]

don't stress it too much. it's not like it's a soviet camera that could break whenever you turn the shutter speed dial after you cocked the shutter.

[@HansRutenbrecher]

@@franciscraig8164 i mean it’s really even a feature and was designed that way. All the Nikon shutters can do that I think contrary to leica where you can’t switch from 1000s to B

[@descase6180]

My shutter release will jot go back any tips?

[@sputumtube]

How do you set the film speed?

[@japanvintagecamera8869]

There is no film speed adjustment unless you are using the Photomic metered prism. You have to program the film speed into a handheld light meter or light meter app on your smart phone.

[@mnragnar]

It's too bad that the rather ingenious use of the self-timer on the F2 to achieve down to 10 second timed exposures wasn't covered in this video. Mechanical shutter speeds from 1/2000 second all the way down to a full 10 seconds. To compliment that feature, the F2AS metering finder could rotate past the "B" stop to enable TL metering down to a full 8 seconds. Glenn

[@matteovrizzi]

excellent point @mnragnar i use that feature a lot! F2AS and also F2SB.

[@neilpiper9889]

Zorki 4k, that's a dent proof camera.

[@simonkeslake2782]

The original F still the greatest!!

[@macbookdieter]

How to you know it’s a Titanium version?

[@f2john]

On the plain ones without a script there will be a T in front of the serial number

[@nicholailuke6165]

Cool camera but how do you set the film speed?

[@ericb6871]

This camera doesn’t have a built in light meter and therefore has no need to know the film speed. You would use a handheld meter or calculate exposure using the sunny 16 rule.

[@HansRutenbrecher]

Is the camera still for sale?

[@FART-REPELLENT]

Not a new one because they ceased production back in 1979

[@HansRutenbrecher]

@@FART-REPELLENT bruh I ment this exact one in his online shop…

[@koby1960]

Looks just like a regular black F2...isn't that brass underneath the black paint?

[@naduncan08]

There is NO 'Y' in NIKON ! If you don't believe me ask NIKON its their company !!!
