Nikon F2AS (DP-3 Finder) – Fully Mechanical 35mm SLR – Tested, Good Condition
The Nikon F2AS is the final and most refined model in the Nikon F2 lineup. It features the DP-3 metered prism, offering full manual control with TTL center-weighted metering and compatibility with Nikon’s AI lenses. All mechanical shutter – no batteries needed for core operation – with a dependable build that still holds up for everyday use.
This example has been tested and works well. Shutter speeds sound accurate, the meter is responsive, and the film advance and mirror mechanism are smooth. Cosmetically, it shows signs of regular use: some wear to the finish, minor brassing, and light marks – nothing unusual for a working camera from this era.
What’s included:
•Nikon F2 body
•DP-3 metered finder (F2AS configuration)
•Body cap
Condition:
•All mechanical functions tested – shutter, advance, mirror working correctly
•DP-3 meter is active and responds to light changes (uses common SR44 batteries)
•Viewfinder is clear with some minor dust
•Cosmetic wear consistent with age – no dents or cracks
•Compatible with AI and pre-AI Nikon F-mount lenses
Straightforward, tough, and built for practical shooting — a classic manual 35mm SLR that still performs well.
