The F2's a wonderful beast. I picked up a late-production black one with a DP-11 head a few months ago and it's quickly become one of my two main film bodies. I'd take the F2A or F2AS over the F2S though, AI coupling is less hassle. And the DP-11 (F2A head) is noted as the most reliable of the F2 metered finders. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
