Hallo Christian,
auch da muss ich Dich schwer enttäuschen. Es ist zwar richtig, dass die ersten F2 in 1971 mit 7100001 anfangen, aber das Jahr ist nicht eindeutig aus der Seriennummer abzuleiten.
Zitat:
>>>>My serial number is 76xxxxx. What's significant about it?
The Amazing Kreskin (the amazing who?) says ... you have a chrome F2. Amaze your friends! Awe your coworkers! Tell them that if the serial number's second digit is an even number, the camera is chrome; if odd, the camera is black. The legend that the camera was made in the year shown in the first two digits is thus probably false, unless you think that Nikon made only one color per year. The major exceptions to this are the titanium versions of the F2, which begin with serial number 92xxxxx and have a black pebbled finish, much like the F3/T in black finish.
"Moose" Peterson says that early (71xxxxx and 72xxxxx) F2's have a small problem with the take-up spool: these can supposedly cause some frame overlap when using a motordrive (but should be fine if you wind-by-hand).
I've received information in the past weeks that there do exist chrome 73's and black 74's. Apparently Nikon changed the serial numbering scheme with the 75's and later (which should follow the even = chrome / odd = black system). <<<<
Bei der Nikon F ist es auch nicht anders. Die ersten wurden 1959 mit 64xxxxx Nummern gebaut. Die letzten Nummern in 1973 fingen mit 74xxxxxx an.
