I'm guessing it was some kind of promo by Nikon, the F2 had just been released in sept 71.

Amalfi again, dsmr kind of design to the cathedral as Seinna though I agree.

Not actually that isolted as it was an hours drive from Naples and pretty close to the tourist towns on the coast, was obviously alot cheaper though, stayed at a decent hotel half board and went to the local bar most nights without having to take out a morgage.

Indeed, on the Amalfi beachfront. One overlooking Bomerano, the town I stayed in.
