I don't recall having any problems with the Nikon bayonet, though I never did move into the autofocus era with them. Setting the maximum aperture on the meter on the F2 was a bit of a slug, and having to set the aperture to 5.6 on the F wasn't the nicest, but this is very old tech, and was cutting edge for the day. I switched seamlessly to Pentax, the button placement never bothered me, the mount/dismount direction being backwards to what I was used to was a bit of a nuisance for a while, and I really liked being able to switch lenses while watching what I was supposed to be shooting.
