    The notches on the top left of the frame (horizontal shots) indicate to me that your camera has seen pro use in its life. Usually these were put there to let the photo dept know which photographer to credit or which camera to service if there were problems with the images by the different patterns on the edge of the frame. I have two F3s, great camera. Remember some spare batteries.

    This was my main camera for YEARS. I still bust it out occasionally It's one of the pinnacles of Nikon's history. (Controversial at the time because of the electrics - the Nikon F and F2 were 100% mechanical except for the light meters inside their "photomic" prisms.) Great stuff! Keep up the good work!

  • @puddsy

    One of the things I love about the F3 is the sheer volume of accessories available. Shooting waist level with the viewfinder off is good, but Nikon made a waist level finder for some extra magnification and dust protection. I also bought a Type E focusing screen that I adore. Really easy to personalize it to make it the ultimate shooting experience.

    The Nikon F3 is my favorite 35mm SLR. A friend let me borrow hers for a year and I fell in love. She asked for it back and the desire to shoot film has gone down because the experience isn’t the same. I am definitely in the market to buy my own F3.

    Really enjoyed this. Ten years ago I stopped being a film guy (sent my Nikon F-601 to the charity shop (my mistake), and went down the Leica digital route. I’m now wanting to get back into film photography and strongly leaning towards a Nikon F3. Saw one body only advertised for €450, which I think is a bit steep so still on the lookout.

    • @DPer4mance
      @DPer4mance 9 місяців тому

      €450 should buy you a really mint one. I recently bought an F3 with some light signs of use for €200. Took me a bit of time to find one at a decent price, but that goes for all the F’s. It’s worth keeping an eye out for them.

    I just got my first 35mm camera (not counting the disposable ones as a kid), and it's a Nikon F3! I got it at Dot Dotsons in Eugene, Oregon. I love it so freaking much. It came with the SB-12 Flash, an electronic film winder, and they they're in a free 28mm .2 lens! All for $220, and the only issue remotely even with the camera is that the film counter gets stuck, so I think it just needs a cleaning!

    My first love of photography began in 1975 when I took a course in photography. Naturally, I was not familar with the aspect of artistic and development at first, however, the more I progressed, it became a lifetime fascination. Today, I enjoy digital and learning software to enhance my photographs, but nothing beats the nostalgia with 35mm camera development and printing. FYI, last week, I have purchased a F3 from a seller on Facebook Market Page and shooting with Ilford XP2 super 400 film.

    I still shoot film at times, coincidentally with one of the same Nikon F3s I shot professionally back in the day (Yeah, I'm old). But while I do own a film scanner, it is rarely used. I don't see the point of shooting on film and turning it into a digital image, instead of shooting digital and editing it in photoshop if the result is a digital image in both cases.
    The "film look" is a result of shooting film and printing it directly on paper. Your photos are great, but seem to miss the point for me.

    I don't know how I've never noticed you have a channel but I'm glad i found it! Love the layers in the shot at 12:19. (Can't wait to see you shoot color next year)
