I'm still certain that the F2 body will be the one found by the 
archaeologists in the year 2464. Don't know if it's UL or not but 
there's a story of a photojournalist in the late 60's that happens upon 
an African villiage that is camera-shy (Amish headhunters?) so he 
quickly stows the camera and lenses in his waterskin for several days. 
Air dried the body, added new battery and lens and he was shooting the 
following week.

I'm still trying to locate an F2AS body in proper condition. The beat up 
ones are selling for a few hundred US on the net but local offerings are 
meager. Mint condition bodies /still/ get nearly 700 US.
