Sinar F / F1 / F2??? How can I tell?

[mortuus]

Another way to determine the difference between the F, F1 & F2:

F = Rear geared focusing only. One lever for both swing and shift.
F1 = Front and rear geared focusing. One lever for both swing and shift.
F2 = Front and rear geared focusing. Separate levers for swing and shift.

Not exactly. I have an F-1 and an F-2. The F-1 does not have geared front focus, it slides only. The F-2 has a geared front focus.

Puzzling. I used to own what I came to believe to be a F1, with front AND rear geared focusing, and shared levers for swing/shift. What model may that have been then? A F1.5, maybe ?

I believe that would be an early F-2. I think the seperate levers were a later improvement.
