Great film camera, that can do anything possible in 35mm format.
3 of 3 found this helpful Built with all-metal construction of approx. 700 mechanical gears, springs and levers, the FT2 is an SLR camera built by Nikon from 1975-1977. It will last for centuries if well cared for, and represents a quality of build that(due to market and technology forces)will never be achieved again.
Nikon designed the FT2 for knowledgeable amateurs or those who could not afford the top of the line F2. In fact, the only feature lt lacks from the F2 is interchangable finders and focus screens. It features fully manual shutter speeds from 1 second to 1/1000, large mirror for bright viewfinder, self timer, mirror lock-up, depth of field preview, and a copal square shutter that allowed a 1/125 flash sync. This was extremely fast for the era in which it was made--even better than the F2. It also has a built in light meter which couples with any Nikon lens of the day. I believe this camera is one of the best SLR's ever made. It is very tough and reliable, and this makes it heavier than today's cameras. This review is written from the point of a view of someone who knows how to shoot film--it will certainly NOT be easy to use if you don't know how to do that. However, one doesn't rate a high end sports car or other fine piece of equipment based on unknowledgeable users.

SRT 102--BEST OF BREED
2 of 3 found this helpful The SRT 102 is the top of the line of the legendary Minolta SRT cameras. The series began with the SRT 101 in 1966 and ended in 1981. The 102 was produced from 1973 to 1975. The 102 had the most functions of all the SRTs, and included mirror lock-up, BOTH aperture and shutter speeds visible in the viewfinder and foolproof double exposure capability. The full list of features can be found online in the "Rokkor Files." One caveat is that Minolta dropped the mirror lock-up feature around 1975, so if you are an advanced user and need this, be sure to ask if the one you're interested in has it.
Ironically, the SRTs produced from 1975 to 1981 have FEWER features than the SRT 102--by this time, cheaper to produce, electronic cameras with autoexposure (which could be sold for more) were the craze. In contrast, all SRTs are fully mechanical cameras and don't need a battery to function, just the meter. A few tips to buying an SRT 102 are in order. First, this review assumes you know how to use a manual camera. If you have never had to manually figure shutter speeds and apertures based on film speed, you will need to learn. Second, ALL SRTs used sleeve bearings. These tend to dry out after 30+ years, causing the shutters and mirror return to stick or be inaccurate. When purchasing an SRT, it is HIGHLY ADVISABLE to get one that has been lubricated and had the light seals replaced (CLR'd).

Great Value
This is a handy battery tester! Does its job. BE AWARE, they are a bit fragile, so if you drop it, you may have to buy another.
