Not surprisingly, I find myself drawn to the F prototype.   Not only does it have a beautiful prism, but it appears to have a quick viewfinder on the left.   I want one.

Thanks for adding the F2 protptypes, I wondered if they were missing.

Very interesting! Thanks

Perhaps it is a non-TTL light meter? (look at the front).

This was just the tonic I needed to start my day! Thank you so much for posting that link. I'm going to go and give my F and F2S a big hug, now.

Ive been meaning to thank you for your efforts in documenting these important (too us Nikon tragics at least...) historical objects.

Your photographs are terrific, and thanks for taking the time to put them on the web for the rest off us to enjoy!

Cheers, Lyndon
