Nikon F2 H (High Speed)
The Nikon F2 H (High Speed) is a specialised 35mm film SLR based on the Nikon F2 professional body, adapted for high-frame-rate motor-driven shooting. It sits apart from standard F2 variants as a low-volume, purpose-built tool produced in limited numbers.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the F2 H have ranged from about £2,200 to £5,000, with a median around £2,800 — placing this among the more valuable F2 derivatives in today's market. Because the sample of wholesale saleroom results is small and spread over several years, what a given example is worth and sells for at auction depends heavily on completeness, cosmetic condition and the presence of matching accessories.
