Nikon followed the popular Nikkormat FTn with the FT2. More an evolution than a sequel, the FT2 incorporated user feedback to help improve the design. Touches such as the plastic, plus and minus symbols on the viewfinder light meter, contrured advance lever and ASA lock stemmed directly from customer feedback. The FT2 represented a significant improvement on the FTn and, in many ways, is the best Nikkormat camera Nikon built. Also the last camera designed specifically for non-AI lenses, the FT2 represents the end of a lens technology.
