They were not as robust as the Leicas, but they have their own considerable charm. The SP of course is the flagship camera, but the S2s are great shooters and not to be overlooked. They were made in large numbers and are considerably less expensive than the SP or S3. But there were enough production quirks to keep the collectors happy too. As you've probably already had pointed out to you, Stephen Gandy's CameraQuest website has a lot of great info on the Nikon RFs, and the Nikon Historical Society has some. The guy to talk to, if you're interested in learning or buying more, is Fred Krughof in NYC. He's at www.romdog.com, and can also be found on the NHS site, www.nikonhs.org.
