[QUOTE="Brian, post: 247529, member: 17621"] I bought this Nikon F Photomic "Bullseye" in 1979, the third nikon that I bought, after the F2a and Nikkormat FT2. I had the 5.8cm F1.4 on the Df this weekend. The Nikon S2 rangefinder, one of the first made, #219 . Bought it used from an Artist that used it for 35 years. And people think the F could take a beating and work! The S2 has a Russian Helios-103 on it, a Planar formula lens. The lens is built to the Contax/Zeiss spec, I modified the focal length by rearranging the glass in it. And I used the F to take this picture in 1979, of a 9-year old that I just taught how to use the F2a. She did a good job, got her picture into the University yearbook- This portrait, and the picture that she took.
