SPT - Nikon F2 Guide
Comprehensive service and maintenance technical guide for the iconic Nikon F2 camera, published in the SPT Journal of January/February 1983. This document provides detailed procedures for disassembly, adjustments, and repair operations on this professional-grade instrument. It identifies similar models (Nikon F), specifies required batteries (2 S76 cells), and features precisely annotated internal component diagrams. The guide systematically catalogs all critical adjustment points: shutter speed control lever, slow and fast speed mechanisms, curtain release systems (first and second curtain), springs, and operating levers. Comprehensive adjustment procedures cover curtain travel times, focusing mechanisms, brake assemblies, and eccentric adjustments. A dedicated disassembly section presents the exact sequence: bottom cover, front plate, wind-side top cover, mirror box, and related assemblies. The manual addresses frequently repaired sections including second curtain replacement, speed-selection lever repair, and photometric meter contact troubleshooting. Enhanced by high-quality photography depicting internal mechanisms and critical access points, this guide serves both professional technicians and dedicated camera restorers requiring authoritative technical reference material.
