From looking at recent eBay auctions does not seem like there is much of a demand for F2Hs anymore!!! If I had to sell it is not promising!!!

My vote is for Lenster! It sounds a way better than "The Guy of the Fish-Eyes!"

Uhhh...more like 700,000

Question is, what did Chamster pay for the F2h? Seems to be the hot topic these days...
Question number two, if Chamster sells all his...

So not that rare...! The same would be for the Nikon F, isn't it? Why going after one of the first...

Oz can be very humid in the summer, and lenses are more prone to fungus than cameras. If you start collecting expensive lenses, then make sure they are kept completely dry. Some Oz collectors have humidity chambers, and some put they stuff in sealed bags.

Obviously the F2H is worth the most, there is a posting about it here on the forum now.

But here is my advice...

I began collecting what I loved, which were black Nikon S2s and the black lenses that when with them. Somewhere along the track I became derailed and began acquiring everything Nikon made with little sense of why.

I ended up with a bit too much, to put it mildly, and did not love much of it. I wanted to love early Nikons like the ONE and M, but...

Hi Kiu,

My rationale would be NOT to jump from branch to branch on the collecting tree, I have done that a few times myself.
Take it easy for awhile...Consider your decisions carefully and wait for the right opurtunity to buy.
The three pieces you mention are all fairly hard to come by....Down the road,you may regret selling them.
One last note,although the first 300 F3T's came with matching lenses and certificate, the F3T continued to be produced in the Champagne finish for a few...

Good Morning,

I am relatively new to collecting and have mainly collected Nikon SLRs ranging from Nikon F to Nikon F5 50th anniversary edition. My collection highlights are Nikon F3H (NIB - bought from a trusted NHS member), F2H (LNIB even with the outer box & warranty cards!, small paint wear at the MB100 battery knob only) and F3T Limited edition NIB (Champagne) with matching serialed 50/1.4 lens (one of 300 made with all the paperwork etc, bought from a trusted NHS member)....
