Have a look Stephen's site to see which head you have: http://www.cameraquest.com/classics.htm The F2 has its batteries in the body (unlike the F). It takes the 1.5v button cells just like most Nikon cameras of that period. EPX 76, SR 44, 357, KS 76,10 L 14 and others will all work. Parts are getting scarce for the metering heads so get it fixed soon! It would be a good idea to find a non-metering prism for the camera too. The prices are rising on them as parts for the metering heads dry up. John Collier > From: Chandos <cmbrow@wm.edu> > >I'm largely unfamiliar > with the F2 and have a couple of questions.
