Nikon F2 Body
I have a Nikon F2 Body in great shape. Purchased New and hardly used.
I would like to sell it and purchase a D300. I have no idea of what it is worth today? Clueless, Joe L |

Clueless, Joe L The amount you can get for it depends to a large extent on which finder it has. There were plain vanilla finders, finders with match needle exposure control to be used with pre-AI lenses, and at the very end finders with match needle control to be used with AI lenses. A camera with the first one will bring the least amount of money, and a camera with the last one will bring the most amount of money. Ebay, etc., is the best place to look. Jim |

I would like to sell it and purchase a D300. I have no idea of what it is worth today? Clueless, Joe L As others have suggested, look at KEH, B&H, eBay, etc. to see what they are selling for. If you have a black one with one of the more desireable prism heads (not as described below by "Jim"...) and the camera is in truly new condition (the foam under the prism can be "iffy" and replaced), the camera has MUCH more value as a collector's item than if in "almost" new condition (or less). The amount you can get for it depends to a large extent on which finder it has. There were plain vanilla finders, finders with match needle exposure control to be used with pre-AI lenses, and at the very end finders with match needle control to be used with AI lenses. A camera with the first one will bring the least amount of money, and a camera with the last one will bring the most amount of money. Ebay, etc., is the best place to look. Jim THE most valuable meter head is the second (the very last) one with 3 LEDs instead of the match-needle or 2 LEDs, though for a while with the earlier Nikon F in black in LN condition, the plain meterless prism alone could be worth $800. It all depends on condition, finish, meter type, and quirks of the market at the time... Another thing to consider with thirty-year-old equipment is maintenance, esp. parts like mirror foam/light seals which dry up and decompose. A recent CLA (clean-lube-adjust) by a professional F2 expert adds considerably to the value of a used camera. I'd much rather get one of those even if it has some cosmetic wear and tear, than a "pretty" exterior with brittle rubber and felt, or (worse yet) fungus & corrosion on the inside. -- "It is the individual alone who is timeless.
