Yes
Can you guess what it is?
 
You are both right :-)

my beaty F2 is going off foe a full service and a complete overhaul of the the photomic light metre

 
Well I had a good long think over the last few months, I have a Nikon FM2n fully manual lovely camera and the F2 which is the same fully manual (only does up to 2000/1 but hey) so it was only one or other as I realy want to focus on just one.

After a lot of thought the F2 won out despite the fact its going to cost me a few £100 to overhaul it.

Money well spent. It'll come back good as new.
 
Its all boxed up good to go, I took the lens off as that brings it down in weight to 1.2kgs for special delivery :-)

Now I just need to think about that 24mm in classifieds
 
Well email from Mr Wong it has arrived :-)

4-5 weeks turn around

pre-service report in a few days
 
Sounds like he must be busy these days. Mine took a lot less than that a couple of years ago. Worth the wait though, and it's not like you don't have any other cameras to play with in the meantime :).

To be honest I am not playing with anything at the moment, in fact this year has been a washout as I have been in Erskine working away. The plan is with the F2 though is to focus on it a bit and sell my FM2n and a few of those lenses. I have just completed a sale in classifieds for a 24mm for it and with the 50 I have looks like fun for next year :-)

Same here mate. I've used 4 rolls of 120 all year, and I think 1 of 35mm :(.
 
Update from Mr Wong shutter speed tests are in pre service.... it did pretty damned bad :-(
