Does Nikon F2 have a meter?
The exposure meter of the Nikon F2 Photomic features a center-weighted thru-the-lens metering system coupled to the shutter-speed and lens-aperture controls. The meter reads the light over the entire focusing screen but favors a central area. This allows you to make precise reading of the selected subject area.
