Product Information
If you're longing to take striking pictures, check out the Nikon S2 35mm Rangefinder. This 1955 classic lets you capture great shots without the need for an automated pixel machine. As the first Nikon using 35mm film, the S2 paved the way for later models while still taking stellar photos. The S2 is a vintage rangefinder camera that can handle all your basic photo-taking needs.The S2 camera offers multiple features that will put the user in charge of quality control. It comes with a 1:1 Life Size viewfinder with large pupils for easy control. Also included in the finder is a non-parallax corrected brightline to help capture shots clearly and beautifully. The S2's chamber construction for lenses allows you to take eye-popping photos even when the background is highly lit. The f/1.4 aperture can fit NIKKOR lenses of 50mm as well as 35mm, so you have options. Shots using either NIKKOR lens on this camera come out crisp and focused once developed. The perks don't stop at the lens. On these Nikon cameras, levers advance the film when it's loaded and rewind it once the shot is exposed. Accessories like shutter and synchro dials, either in chrome or black, make it easy to time pictures to your liking. The dials rotate automatically during exposure, both for picture taking and for timing the right flashes. Depending on the conditions, the shutter speed can be adjusted at intervals from 1 second to 1/1000 of a second. The focusing wheel will help you get the clarity desired. Simply wind the shutter up and set its speed on the dial before pointing the lens and shooting. The built-in film gate and tripod mount are upgrades for Nikon's 1950s cameras.
