Nikon F2 (MD-2 and MB-1, black)
The Nikon F2 is a professional 35mm film SLR, introduced in the early 1970s as the successor to the Nikon F. This configuration pairs the black F2 body with the MD-2 motor drive and MB-1 battery pack, the dedicated power accessory set that converts the camera into a motorised system for press and action work.
Sales data for this specific body-and-motor-drive combination is thin, but at recent UK auction the two recorded hammer prices sit at £480 and £850, giving a working range of roughly £480–£850 with a midpoint near £670. Today the value of an F2 with MD-2 and MB-1 is highly condition-sensitive: complete, clean black sets with a functioning motor drive sell for more than bodies sold separately, while examples with worn finish or a non-running drive sell for considerably less.
