The 180mm 2.8 is the cats meow. Great for fashion

I have f2 and f3 amaizing

Well I had sworn I wouldn't buy this, since I typically switch between the FM2n and the F6 (sometimes F5). Now I just did it anyway, and I am exited as a child before Christmas 😊. With the F3 and F4 in the cupboard, I will probably end up getting an F as well to complete the collection of single digit F's.

Thanks! After watching this video a second time I'm even more impressed. Hoping $5 Yankee Dollars will get you a pint somewhere. Or a coffee.

Am planning to buy one and this is very useful review 😊❤

I'm moving up the rung. Started with the FG...fantastic cam....got the fm2...fantastic cam...I just need one of these...and then a casual point and shoot automatic...and i will have a full film lineup.

It is always a positive thing to see people printing their pictures. As an old school film user, who prints also RA.4 in darkroom, it is good news. I am quite concerned about the trend of young people shooting film, but only for digital files. They will be in a cloud service or on a hard drive, but these pictures can probably never be recovered when the technology changes, and the old files can´t be accessed anymore with the computers in use after maybe 15 years from now. Many of those people even discard their negatives after scanning them digitally. And for digital photographers the problem is the same - the files can´t be recovered from old media when technology advances. Print will keep for a long time, if it is made properly - with either C-type process or printed with archival quality inks on a good quality photo printer paper.

This is really useful! Thank you for sharing

Hi. I have a BM-302. On frame 24 the camera made a clonk sound and rewinded my film (even though it was a 36 frame roll) Now the camera will not pick up a new fresh rolls, just stock on zero. Do you think my shutter button died?? I was only able to shoot 24 damn frames!

“Which is why I didn’t justify it” - moto for camera lovers 😂

The F5 is such a beast😁

I had a couple of these years ago and sold them. Just bought another one in great condition. Just because I love the feel of the camera. Nowadays, people look at you like you're from outer space when you shoot with a chunk of a camera like this. They scratch their heads and walk away, shooting wildly with their smartphones. I shoot it mainly with AIS lenses in manual focus and aperture priority mode which allows me to control the depth of field to my taste.

You're amazing at picking up the exactly right gear for your needs, I just get stuck in the research phase and buy fuck all

I agree, this camera is fantastic

I agree with you regarding the adapters. It does make me wonder if Nikon did this on purpose to encourage longstanding SLR users to buy Z glass

titanfall 2 poster in the background talking about nikons? yep, this is me in 20 years

I pick F4s if it's overall dimension reduced by 10%. F5 is easy to use, however, I always go out with F3p

I'm still very happy with mine, brilliant camera.

I have an F4S and an F4E. Love them both. Great video too!

❤❤❤ Nice video. I own four Nikon F in various condition.

One month ago (november 2024) I went with my F6 from 2004 to Nikon France because it had the very first firmware and the backup battery problem. They made a precise repair quotation (really expensive) and said that the job would be done by Nikon Germany. Three weeks later my F6 returned completely fixed.

Personally i have a Nikon EM

F4 and F4s here which I will never sell.

I swear I have some expired 220 in the freezer. I think it's Kodak VC.

Any chance its for sale? 😉

Thank you for explaining about the different Nikon lenses you can use with this camera. I wondering if that includes Sigma and Tamron ? Becuse of it's size you are certainly going to draw some ooh's and ahs, however with the SB-20 Battery pack it's no bigger than some of the Tp-of-the-line Canaon and Canon's.

Yes 8k is better! Did you know there is still a debate that 4K is just as good lol. And it's a lot of people.

Very nice to have come across your channel... you seem to have the same interests and quirks as me 😂

Won't an independent maker produce one ?

Very interesting how a simple white border improves the picture 😂😂 very true that the best camera won't make you take better pictures, gives me pause in my bug-eyed search for a bargain z8 😅

You don't have a Pen F for quick do nothing snaps it's for the experience of using a manual film camera, exposure get a SH Weston and add to the experience, two shots per scan go to a better lab

Best 35mm film camera ever made

Nikon could solve a lot of issues with the Z8 by making a real battery pack that takes EN-EL18 batteries. It would be more in line with the Z9 ecosystem and still support a Z6iii for a backup. It would shoot longer. It would handle better. It would look better. And they don't even have to change anything on the camera. I mean, seriously, they could just license Neewer or Mieke to do it for them if they don't want to do the R&D. As for charging batteries in camera being a good thing, well, I'd rather carry around a $15 little extra piece than have $4,000 plugged into a wall.... wow. that's just plain stupid.

That is not many, at best it is a timid beginning.

6:03 que?!

Upvoted for the lens collection. Also for that Pokemon poster

is the Light Metering on pen ft reading thru the lens? i am planning to use an ND filter on the lens, will the LM work?

From June 1985 till July 1990, I had the F3HP, and really liked it. You could drop-kick it, use it as a Hockey Puck, even hammer small nails with it, and it just wouldn't quit

Another nice thing about the F6 is that it’s the only film camera that Nikon will still do maintenance and repair work on!

I love the F4 (and F5). I'm a big Nikon digital shooter, but have never used my Nikon film cameras- just thought I should have a couple....

My FM2n is my favorite SLR ever. I'm not in the market for a F100 since I loved my Canon EOS 1n so much back in the days.

I watch all your videos. My favorite is the black quilted crossbody Chanel replica. The kislux bag will be on my list. Thanks for everything. Good luck to everyone.

Nikon F100 user here.

A nice overview of the F cameras, i own several. On 750 exposures: that was only possible with the mythical MF-2 back for the F2 camera (try to find one...) F6 downside: no interchangable finders.

Your setup with a Fuji GFX100 with 16x Pixelshift is what I plan for 120 formats and 4x5 format scans, maybe also for all 135 or at least some high value pics. Note: For 135 film I use right now old Minolta scanner with ~ 40MP in 16Bit. What I miss is the outcome/comparison using the full Fuji 400MP. Reasoning especially with BW is that I miss resolution already on my Minolta 40MP scans for 135, For sure not for online use, small prints, etc. But why do I miss it despite your and all data of film resolution power of film translated to pixel is right for ordinary films (ignoring high res film stock)? Because this is for the detail resolution while taking a picture., not the grain. And this is my point. The beauty in my eyes of analog grain - specially BW - is the grain and the grain sharpness itself, regardless how sharp/non sharp the picture content itself is. And to get the grain sharp(er), for 120 formats, my primary analog format nowadays, I need already ~160MP to get my 135 format 40MP experience - being insufficient as written. ==> I would be not surprised that I prefer for 135 resolutions >= 160MP, what would mean for 120 >= 640MP which obviously the Fuji (nor Hasselblad, ...) can do at moment. But 400MP is still better than 100MP BTW: For 4x5 format, I see this focusing on grain not, That format and even more 8x10,... had always the concept to being w/o noticable grain.

If you're on a budget? F4. If you're not? F3 if you don't need autofocus, f6 if you do

I have to disagree with you on the best version of F2. A much better, and rather rare, choice is the F2 Sb with the DP-3 meter prism. It's a Silicon Blue cell meter just like the DP-12 but it's designed to fully function with any Nikon lens featuring an aperture ring. BTW all of my AF Nikkor's have had that metering prong added. Final it uses the old string and display wheel method to show the lens aperture and if you ever compare the DP-11 or 12 aperture display to that on the DP-3 you'll understand the benefit of the older design.

Great video, well presented. I regret selling my F2 😢

Great video! I have an F3hp, F4s, & F5. Looking to grab a F2a then the F6. I'd only waste my money on a mint F1.

I recently bought an FM2N and an F4 from an acquaintance. I think the FM2N is close to the F3. I love the film advance on it. It feels so good to turn the lever. The F4 didn't work at first. Then I watched a video on it and the guy in the video said you have to use good quality batteries in it for it to work. I had cheap batteries in it and had to swap them out. There was already a roll of slide film in the camera. It was on the 10th frame. The woman I bought them from had inherited it. I think she said he was get mom's ex husband or something like that. I got both cameras, a PB-6 bellows, 12 rolls of Fujii slide film (some of it is Velvia 50), an older Lowpro backpack and a few other accessories that I'll never use, all for $400 US. The F4 goes for around $275 from what I've seen and the FM2N sells for around $300. Both are in near mint condition. I think the film is nearly $20 or $25 a roll of I'm not mistaken. Even if I can only get $15 a roll I can still make some money off it. I have no need for slide film. I guess I could shoot it and then scan it. I want an F3.
