This listing is for a Nikon F2 Photomic Silver DP-1 35mm SLR Film Camera Body, designated as a 'For Parts/Junk' item. The Nikon F2 is a legendary professional SLR, renowned for its robustness and mechanical reliability.

We strongly advise potential buyers to review all details carefully as this camera is NOT in working condition.

Condition and Grade

Grade: For Parts/Junk

Appearance of the item

  • This camera exhibits significant cosmetic wear consistent with its 'For Parts/Junk' grading. Visible scuffs, deep scratches, and damage are present across the camera body. There may be areas of paint loss, brassing, or minor dents.

Functional

This camera has NOT been tested for any operational functions. Therefore, we CANNOT guarantee its workability. All mechanical and electronic components, including the shutter, mirror mechanism, film advance, and light meter (in the DP-1 prism), are untested and presumed non-functional. The battery compartment has not been inspected for corrosion. This item is sold strictly 'as-is' for parts or repair.

Inspection Results

Optical System & Viewfinder Inspection

Due to the 'Not Tested' status, a detailed optical inspection was not performed. We cannot confirm the condition of the viewfinder for dust, dirt, haze, or fungus. The focusing screen's clarity is also unverified and may contain debris or scratches. Assume potential issues with clarity.

Known Potential Issues for This Model

As this camera is listed as 'For Parts/Junk' and untested, it may exhibit common issues specific to this model. Potential problems include, but are not limited to:

  • Mirror Mechanism: The mirror may be stuck, sluggish, or fail to return after firing due to dried lubricants or worn components.
  • Light Meter (DP-1 Prism): The built-in light meter is highly likely to be non-functional, unresponsive, or inaccurate. This could be due to battery compartment corrosion (uninspected), circuit board damage, or a faulty meter cell.
  • Power: The camera may fail to power on or respond to controls, indicating a complete loss of electrical function.
  • Missing Parts: Essential components (e.g., film door, take-up spool, battery cover, advance lever parts) might be missing or severely broken, rendering the camera incomplete.
  • Viewfinder & Focusing Screen: Significant dust, dirt, haze, or even fungus may be present within the viewfinder optics or on the focusing screen, affecting clarity.
  • Cosmetic Damage: Significant dents, deep scratches, scuffs, and paint wear are already visible and explicitly noted.

Included Accessories

  • Strap (as pictured)

  • Collectors who require cameras in excellent cosmetic and functional condition.
  • Anyone who expects a working light meter.
