I used it with my 100 APO-Macro for close-ups until the Ms bumped the R6.2 from VR shooting duty, which in turn took over the 100 APO shots and thus bumped the F2A(R) into the camera bag, where it has lain unused for 8 months now. AFAIK it is the only one of its kind in the world - a fully mechanical camera which mounts Leica R lenses and has true MLU, a 10sec - 1/2000th titanium foil shutter and can use interchangeable finders. The down-side is you always shoot at working aperture. The built-in meter in the DP-11 works in stop-down mode too (I never used it and only just found this out!). For more details about the R-mount conversion and photos of the camera + various finders, see: <http://nemeng.com/equipment/f2ar.html> What's for sale: * Body: Black Nikon F2A (#F2 7921xxx) with Leica R lens mount ring * Finders: Nikon F2A DP-11 photomic Nikon DE-1 compact pentaprism Nikon DW-1 waist level * Focus Screens: K (Maxwell Hi-Lux surface treated) G2 (scratched, but still clear) * AS-1 flash hot-shoe coupling unit Total Price = $US 830.00 (which includes insured airmail shipping) And no I won't break this set up - all or nothing. Everything is at least 20 years old, so none of this stuff is mint. But everything is in Ex to Ex+ condition and well looked after by me. The shutter speeds are accurate. The pentaprisms are all clear and free from de-silvering or yellowing. The metering circuit in the DP-11 works, although you can only use it in stop-down mode here.
