They were well behind Nikon, which had a Shutter-priority version of the F2 in 1974 or so.


Did the F2 have shutter priority? I thought it was strictly manual....


The F2 Photomic S (F2 with the metered prism DP-2) with an EE Aperture Control Unit DS-1 gave shutter priority capability to the F2 series in 1973 (I was off by 1 year). All subsequent F2 variants offered Shutter priority with an Aperture Control Unit (Each was specific to the finder version) Actually, Nikon's first Shutter Priority SLR was the fixed-lens Nikkorex AUTO 35 in 1964, but I'm not counting that as it was a leaf shutter and fixed lens, not a system camera like the F2.
