Pre-Owned - Nikon AS-1 Flash unit coupler for F2 Film camera
The Nikon AS-1 Flash Unit Coupler is a specialized hot shoe adapter designed to mount standard ISO-type speedlights onto the proprietary flash terminals of Nikon F and Nikon F2 film cameras. Because the Nikon F2 places its flash mount directly underneath the film rewind crank rather than on a traditional top-mounted prism shoe, this coupler acts as a bridge to expand your flash compatibility options.
Key Specifications & Features Functionality:
Converts the unique Nikon F/F2 mounting base into a standard, universal ISO hot shoe.
Metering Compatibility: Operates as a Non-TTL adapter. It passes a basic electronic sync signal to trigger manual or auto-thyristor flashes, but does not support modern Through-The-Lens metering.
Camera Sync Speed: Allows you to sync your electronic flash at the Nikon F2's standard sync speed of 1/80 sec.
Supported Flash Units: Works natively with vintage Nikon speedlights (such as the SB-10, SB-15, and SB-16B) as well as modern manual third-party flashes.
