Made by Nippon Kogaku, this is a Nikon Camera Rain Protector designed to be used while the Nikon S2 is stored in its case. It fits S2 bodies equipped with standard lenses, except the f1.1. Made of vinyl, the lens compartment features the word Nikon printed in white.
The zipper is made by YKK and located at the bottom, allowing the camera to be inserted and removed from below. On the right side (facing the front), there is a hole for threading the camera strap. When the camera is taken out, the strap remains looped through the hole, allowing the case to hang from the right side.
It’s hard to say whether it’s convenient or stylish (perhaps not, frankly), but that’s the idea.
This was a domestic-only item and was apparently never exported.
There is some minor deterioration due to age, but no signs of actual use. It doesn't appear to have ever been used on a rainy day either (laughs).
The YKK zipper operates smoothly, and there are no cracks or tears in the vinyl sections. While its practicality may be questionable, it still retains its original functionality.
The original box is included, although it shows some fading.
A truly amazing accessory in the history of 20th-century cameras. A collector's item. An ultra-rare piece.
