I did, although not a lot. I used the Nikons for weddings every
now and then and, although the F2 was usually loaded with B&W,
the possibility to mount the flash was a great thing.
Think that a week before I bought that one, in another shop I
saw a *brand new* (I'm talking about 1998) F2 AS, a remnant they
discovered that day... They asked me for body only and without
flash adapter the same amount I was going to pay for mine
(complete outfit *with* original ER case!) few days later. I've
never regretted I skipped that collector body...

All the Z/PZ series cameras had that feature, it was one of the
things I really liked about them (along with the Hyper modes).
The flashes didn't have the possibility to be centered over the
lens, but you always had the weight in the right place (right
hand). I do prefer to shoot verticals with my right hand up, so
the combo made perfect sense to me.
