Dear; Sir: Enjoyed your video very much. Thank you for your photos very good indeed. Enjoyed your views on this fine cameras and your personal take on them. God Bless to you. Roger
From my recolection the film rewind button on the F65 is there to allow for removal of the film part way through.. whereby it does not wind the leader into the cassette so it can be loaded into another camera or part processed more easily. Of course, I could be wrong and that feature may actually be on one of my Minolta bodies. You didn't mention eye diopter adjustment on the F65 which I know this model does have. 😉
The F65/N65 was the #1 AF SLR, which lets me being frustrated, because i simply hit the shutter button, but the Nikon won't focus on anything, i was pointing it to. So at times, i was just focusing manually with it, then i could take the shot. The F75 doesn't had that issue, and was also showing me, which AF point i was using, either auto, or choosen by myself.
The F65 is peanuts, ultra-cheap these days. I've bought mine into 2002. I own also the F100, and N80/F80. Thing is, one can't go wrong with the F65. It's a very basic, very lightweight, no-nonsense camera. Pros: 1) LCD top display 2) very lightweight, only 395gr. 3) Supports AF-S, AF-D, AF-G lenses, and VR 4) runs two CR2 lithium cells (can being used with rechargeable batteries, that's what i do) 5) did i say, it's dirt-cheap into 2022? 6) standard metal F-mount, the even cheaper F55 does have a plastic bajonet mount (!) 7) It's a no thrills, straight to the point, basic AF 35mm Film SLR. You can give it everyone, into auto or P mode Cons: 1) no backlit top LCD 2) only one command dial 3) no continious mode shooting 4) small, dim-lit pentamirror OVF, instead of an all glass, bright pentaprism 5) 92% viewfinder coverage, instead of 100% (it's just a consumer, amateur SLR) 6) no weather sealing 7) AF goes only down to 1 EV, not at least -1 EV, like many Nikon SLRs 8) AF is slow, hunting, not that good, compared to even the F75/N75 successor 9) AF points are not being illuminated, like into the F75/N75 and upwards 10) the backside and handgrip could get way sticky, due to a vaporizing adhaesive, inside the faux leather (plastic) Besides the shortcomings, and the often average to so-so AF, it does get the job done, that's all what counts, at least into good light situations. That's the good thing via 35mm Film SLR, you can make the same kind of quality shots, like with an F5, F6 literally, when using the same lenses and 135 film. (albeit, these models do have much better, sophisticated 3D Color Matrix metering, which leads into better exposed pictures...)
Brilliant analogy Marc. It's fascinating isn't it? These days the equipment definitely makes a difference whereas, in the days of film it was undoubtably technique. The SLR's could only really expose the film to the light - whichever one you had. Yes there's more AF technology, higher fps etc, but all the cameras do the same job.
@@seancameronphotographic3740 Exactly. And i'd not exposre one of my better SLRs into rain, or heavy snow (which is really rare these days..due to climate exchange nowadays...but anyway) I'd shoot my F90x into a drizzle, or even the F65...but the lenses aren't weathersealed...which is then a issue... Back into the film days, it was all about the quality of the film, which kind of film (iso/asa speed) and which lenses are one is using..so into the end, it's your own creativity...
Hello good evening, I really liked your video about f65/f4/f5 nikon, very technical on the subject, very beautiful photos, I recently bought my first f5 analog camera, I haven't used it yet, I'm anxious, but I don't know anything about the development and digitalization of films, do you have any videos of yours that teach you about the subject? thank you very much!
Thanks for this. Makes me feel better for using my older, simpler cams (F/F2AS) which compliment my selection of pre ai lenses! Nothing against newer cams. I do have an F4 coming which I looking forward to trying out but I think it is going to be too feature-laden for me! Love your channel, I am subscribed!
You are going to love your F4, its so well built. Don't worry about the features, there's only so much a film camera can adjust and you'll soon wrap your head around it
This is one of the best reviews I saw online. Just bought the f65 as a backup to my d810, because I needed a camera that does the job on film, can use with my G lenses and is not that perfect to distract me from the digital work. But still one day maybe I will buy the F5. :))
Amazing I have been trying to update it and baaam after watching your videos it is updated. Thank you so much. It helped alot thr firmware for the camera now it is C: 1.20 and LF I belief it's for the FTZ adapter 1.01 do I need to update the adapter too? When I try to install the new FTZ adapter it says delete firmware update(mount adapter) I am a little confused too but the camera has been updated thanks alot. Big love from India

Answered all the questions that I had... thanks for creating and sharing!
Thank you so much, it was fun to do
Thanks For The Great Video...😀😀😀...Professional cameras even though they are analog!... Thanks.
Thank you, it was so much fun to do, It was something I wanted to test for ages

Thank you so much, I can understand why you bought the F65. If you get the chance do try the F5, it's such a modern feeling camera.
@@seancameronphotographic3740 I will get one too for sure 😅, but not for the moment.
Nice test. Looking forward to seeing the f5 vs the f6!
Ooh, the F6, now there's a thought
Amazing I have been trying to update it and baaam after watching your videos it is updated. Thank you so much.
