ニコンF2の魅力を語る：巻き戻しの驚きの構造と、私の愛用Aiニッコールたち【Nikonカフェ】

What a Well-Maintained F2 Teaches Me: The Joy of Mechanical Control and Spending Time with Your Favorite Lenses Today's Nikon Cafe is about the Nikon F2. Recently, I've found myself naturally bringing out my F2 when shooting film. It's a camera that frequently appears on the Akayama Shu Channel, and this particular one was overhauled at Photo Studio Kiitos. I'll be sharing this with you as I load some test film into the F2 and talk about it. ⸻ ■ The Surprising Rewind Mechanism For this shoot, I actually rewound a roll of film I'd already shot. The F2 even lets you rewind film while the rewind crank is extended! A viewer told me that there's actually a reason for this design: It was designed to allow rewinding even with the EE Control Unit attached. But even without knowing that, I believe this feature itself embodies the "value of ease of use as a machine." It's a moment when you feel the unique "comfort" of the F2, as it responds obediently to the user's hand movements. ⸻ ■ My favorite Nikkor lenses introduced today • Ai Nikkor 45mm f/2.8P • Ai Nikkor 20mm f/3.5S • Ai Nikkor 50mm f/1.8S • Ai Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8S *I found and purchased this 55mm at my local Yamaya Camera. Yamaya also offers color negative development and digitization services. I plan to use these lenses more and more when shooting film with the F2. ⸻ ■ The joy of using a well-maintained F2 The F2 overhauled by Quitos feels truly smooth to wind and release. It has the "joy of operating" that only a perfectly maintained camera can offer. I'm looking forward to receiving the other F2 I've commissioned Quitos to "use." ⸻ ■ How to Remove the Eye-Level Finder In today's video, I also shared tips on how to remove the eye-level finder from the F2. I also showed you a customization I've been using for years: replacing the F2's viewfinder screen with an E-type grid screen for the F3. ⸻ When you play with and use the F2 every day, it has a certain charm to it, like the recently popular Bandai Gashapon toys, as a "fun machine to play with." Today, relax and enjoy the world of the F2 at the Nikon Cafe. [Shu Akayama's Recommended Nikon Goods] 2 Nikon 52mm Screw-On Lens Hood HN-43 Perfect for the Nikkor Z28/2.8 and Z40/2.
