Halo, Jerry. Just found an interesting picture, at eBay: Item#: 270197520218 (there's a Nikon F2A DATA, Serial#7719701, with an MF10 stamped B770538 inside).

Sover,

I should be more carfull when I see the picture with explanations. I thought MF17 was the brother of MF11, which was made for some special request from someone. Althogh I have MF17 I forgot it. Probably one of the reason came from the big amount of variation of peripheral equipments by NIKON.

When I was Bern in 1984 to 85, I frequently visited the PHOTOAntique in the celler at Kramgasse. The owner asked me let me to buy entire shop including the items. He offered me...

The MF-17 is for the F3 MF-4 250 back, and not the F2 MF-1 250 back.

The seller on eBay put the F3 250 data back onto a F2 MF-1 250 back, probably lost the MF-1 back.

When were you at Uni Bern? I spent 5 very happy years in Bern working for Ascom and Swisscom.

Sover,

Still I was wrong. MF17 is for the 250 back on F3. The one I saw was the F3/250DATA wasn't it?

MF-11 is the data imprinting back for the MF-1

MF-17 is the data imprinting back for the MF-4

MF-11 and MF-17 have the same dimensions, but the rollers are at different places.

Sover thanks a lot for your qick reply. I completely misunderstood the 250 back for the F2 and F2/DATA. According to your explanation, MF-11 is just the 250 back without data printing door but normal back for the F2, and MF-17 is just the back door for the MF-11 enabling data printing.

71083 is the lowest MF-10/11 I've recorded so far. 72697 the highest.

The MF-17 is the data back for the MF-4. It's the same size as the MF-11, so it can fit into the MF-1. The clock module is quartz, instead of mechanical, and the date module has 00-99 for year, instead of 91 maximum. It is possible to put the MF-17 modules into the MF-10/11.

Avobe mentioned Ebay seller also shows 250 databack having the name MF17. What is the difference between MF11 and MF17?

I love happy endings.

Stuff like this only happens on the internet. Think about it, if gonikon didn't start this thread....It works best when everyone contributes.
I don't have a F2 DATA, otherwise I would be the first to publish my number.

Updated: Jan. 08 '07.
It's believed that some 500-1,000 F2 DATA's were ever manufatured. The "Hand-Crafted" F2 DATA was (arguably) the costlier Nikon F2 ever-made (as per same period price lists, the F2 DATA was more expensive that the F2H).

We're trying to record all of the Nikon F2 DATA's. Please, kindly, let us know about your F2 DATA Set:
