I just bought this camera for $70 on ebay, came with a nikon 50mm prime lens, 135mm vivitar lens, 28-85mm sigma lens, a large bag and a few other doodads. So far it works fine and is in mint condition👍🏼
I bought one in c.1990 ... on getting it home, I realized how much I hated the cheap-look and the over-complicated controls. Fortunately the dealer agreed to take it back, and give me the FM2 instead. Never looked back: FM2 still working like a dream!
makes actually a lot of fun to take photos with the "J"-focusing screen! (for manual focusing lenses) and works just normal with the AF as well :) if you get one of these screens, buy it! I really like this camera and its hybrid design. It really feels like great quality. The only negativ thing about this camera is the rubber/leather problem. BTW I'm using 4x AAA(800mAh-rechargeable batteries) in it. They last veeery long.... I would recommend this camera!
Posiadam Nikon AF 501 w wersji amerykańskiej oznaczonej Nikon N2020 AF z obiektywem AF Nikkor 35-105mm 1:3.5-4.5 z tylną ścianką z datownikiem Nikon MF-19 i z lampą błyskową Nikon Speedlight SB-20. Całość- komplet w doskonałym stanie. To doskonały, niezawodny sprzęt.
Nice overview! Many people don’t like the appearance of the F301 and F501, but I kind of love it. I bought a very nice F301 (I don’t necessarily want or need auto focus on my film camera’s) for little money.
So i got a Nikon N2020 and for any of you film camera Gurus out there. When i press down on the camera to advance the film nothing happens. I relplaced the batteries and still, nothing happens. Is my camera garbage or am i doing something wrong?
Hi. I`m a Nikon User from Austria. Maybe you can help me. I have bought a Nikon f-501 on ebay and I am not sure if the camera works. When i press the shutter release button (in position S) nothing happens. Only the red LED is blinking. Has it something to do with the battery? Thank you very much
films camera are cute! but ,no ppl know it ,in so manual work horses ! but the pictures are very best,better than ...... digital camera can be better ,see your ! see more video taking.... digital can are small ,cute,light weights. SD cards can reuse against and against ... so solid ...

Very helpful, thanks. Hope the F501 I've just bought actually works :-)
Thank you for the overview! I've just got mine back from getting repaired, and i couldn’t remember how to turn it on 😅 problem solved!
Glad it helped!
Wonderful video ❤

Smart camera from the mid 80s!
Just got this camera for 50 bucks in mint condition.. I’m soooo lucky 🍀
Thank you for this video it helped a lot :)

So lucky!!
Talking about NOS or mint condition. Genius!
My frame counter is stuck inbetween 18 and 16(so 17?) even when I put film in the camera and advance it. How do I solve this issue?
Hi, my camera seems to work good without battery... can that be? Which exposure mode do you recommend? P dual/ a or 125?
long life camera ! film camera ! old folks are gone ! so goods will gone too? o my god ! love it!keep it ! buys it! safe it !!! but ,not ban it!!!
can you use it for self timed photos ?
Yes, it has an electronic self timer.
Do you used the 85mm of the Nikon F3AF, on this camera? Works the AF ? Thanks
Yes!
:) Grazie
Claudia Fede It's a pleasure!
do these need a battery cause i recently got one but it doesnt seem to turn on
Yes!
the nikon engineer responsible for that battery compartment design needs to be publicly flogged
this camera is pretty much the same as the n2020 btw!
is the body made of metal or plastic? Thanks
A metal inner structure but plastic/rubber outer.
Wow
hi, that is not an AF-D lens, it's only AF. AF-D came later.
How much is the value of the camera right now
It really depends on the condition and how much you want to pay.
So i got a Nikon N2020 and for any of you film camera Gurus out there. When i press down on the camera to advance the film nothing happens. I relplaced the batteries and still, nothing happens. Is my camera garbage or am i doing something wrong?
Check the battery chamber contacts for corrosion.
@@Samsung9alaxy Thank you so much!! I tried it and now i have a fully functioning camera!! Much thanks!

Klaus Zitek If you don't have a film in the camera, ensure the ISO setting (around the rewind crank) is NOT on DX!
Samsung9alaxy thanx! but there is a film. lady grey black and white iso 400.. it should work on DX, shouldnt it?
Samsung9alaxy ok! if i set the ISO manually it seems to work :) thank you!
Klaus Zitek It's a safety measure to try and ensure you have film loaded before wasting your time taking photos!
Klaus Zitek DX films have a black & white strip on the cassette (like a bar code). If it doesn't have that you have to set the ISO manually.
I saw this at value village for $39 with extra lense
