It's true! At least it works, I've made a million cycle with two Fs! The shutter worked but the mirror mechanism, even locked, was not so happy...The F2's MLU was much better! I've also made more that one million shoots with a F3P which worked beautifully. It sounded a little bit used after that but I freely got a new one from Nikon who wanted to check a "million cycle" F3. Of course, everything I'm telling was made in a lab with a 250 frames back for the F and the F3 and a 750 frames back for the F2. >I'd check those specs.
