There are different versions of the F2 depending on the finder attached to the body. The body comes in chrome or in black. The plain prism finder DE-1 also comes in chrome or in black. All other finders are in black only.

  • Standard F2 has the plain prism finder DE-1
  • F2 photomic has the finder DP-1; uses semi-auto indexing so that the twist-twist must be done when mounting a lens. The prongs on the lens communicates the aperture setting to the finder.
  • F2S has the finder DP-2; DP-2 is similar to DP-1 except it uses diodes instead of needles to show over- or under-exposure.
  • F2SB has the finder DP-3; DP-3 is an improvement of DP-2 using silicon-blue cells.
  • F2A has the finder DP-11, which is the auto-indexing version of DP-1. An auto-indexing finder does not need the lens' prong to indicate the aperture setting.
  • F2AS has the finder DP-12, which is the auto-indexing version of DP-3.
  • F2T or F2 Titan is titanium-clad.
