Why do they always forget to mention the mirror lock up?
Thank you for your kind explaining~ I bought one yesterday. I am going to try to take a picture with this. I want to study the art of photography perfectly with Mamiya M645 1000s. Thumbs up for you. Thank you. Again
I bought this camera for £5 &pp from BHF ebay shop , the battery can be found in Halfords in the UK but for more than the Camera was to buy but it works well but I prefer the F90x I bought from the same seller for £32.00 (much more weight but manual lens metering & manual film speed setting and 1 AF point as well as a excellent build quality).
I’ve recently bought the F75 (video coming soon). I think this is amazing, and much better than the F60
I think Vivian Maier used one of these.
Yip
I think if you're going to use one of these, you really need your own darkroom.
Thank you! I've now put film in my Rollie!
Good luck!😉
Thanks for keeping it short...
Welcome. Glad you liked it 😀
Can we use the lenses for digital camera?
Yes, digital cameras that have the Nikon F bayonet😀
Is it better than 505si?
Haven’t reviewed that one, but I think they’ll both be great cameras.
Sadly the plastic plate that says Pentax on the front turns grey and then the camera does not look good. Nowadays my eyesight isnt so good so i like the ME Super or the Ricoh XR2S better bebause they have red green and orange light meter
did you polish that leather case?
Haha! No, it’s naturally that shiny 😀
Great video! I shoot both a Rolleiflex 3.5B and Rolleiflex 3.5E (aka 3.5C in Europe) and absolutely love both the feel of shooting with them, and the results I get from both. I will likely add the Rolleiflex T at some point just because I love its looks.
Thank you 😀 I wanted a Rolleiflex for so long, and then found this beauty on ebay a couple of years ago. Really happy with it.
Lovely video! You just feel the calm love for the camera in every minute of it!
Thank you so much 😀
With the absolute utmost respect it gets kind of tiring hearing people dredge-up the battery drain problem every time they talk about the OM4. Legend and myth have exaggerated the issue way beyond actual reality. The whole issue was fixed by 1986, which fair enough *was* three years after the original OM4 was launched, but it was also literally 16 years before the camera was discontinued (as the OM4-Ti). The quantity of cameras sold without the problem outnumber the quantity of cameras sold with the problem by about 100 to 1.
Fair point
Thank you, especially for covering using the new Nikkor G lenses on the F3.
Welcome 😀
Thank you for this video it was a lot of help!!!
You’re welcome 😀
Hello, aware you posted this some time ago but I've just purchased a rollei T and am having an issue, I don't appear to be able to move the needle as you do at 5:35. Is there a lock I am unaware of? Great video as well, ta.
It’s quite likely that the meter no longer works. It’s a selenium cell, and they often conk out. I always use a separate light meter so that I can see exactly what’s being metered.
@threeminutepro Apologies I've phrased this wrong, the needles moves but I cannot turn the dial to align the red needle, only the focus dial underneath. This may ofc be the issue you're talking about anyways. Cheers mate
Wow! Great images! Keep it up!
Thank you 😀
Few reviewers including yourself mention the absolute USP of this camera which was off-the-film metering: totally unheard of at the time and quite revolutionary especially with flash photography. Good video otherwise, apart from the tiny errors mentioned elsewhere.
Fair point. I’m planning to do something covering TTL metering on film cameras, so I’ll make sure to cover this.
Hi, I have this camera, how do I test if the light meter is correct? I have a OM1 can adjust the apture and shutter speed manully, the I can compare to my digital camera see the correctness. How about this one?
Yes, you can compare to the OM1. Or you can download a light meter app to your phone to compare. Make sure to point both at an evenly toned area, so that the different metering patterns don’t introduce inaccuracies.
@@threeminutepro Sorry, I still don't quite understand. The OM1 allows manual control of both aperture and shutter speed, so it can be compared with a light meter app. But the MV1 only lets you set the aperture, and the shutter speed isn't displayed. How can it be compared with a light meter app?
@@小糕儿不喜欢 Yes, I see. Turn the aperture until the yellow light comes on in the viewfinder, don't turn any further. That's 1/30 of a second.
@@threeminutepro Thanks!
So it looks like you need a dark box to remove the film when done?
No. Once it’s wound round with the paper it’s pretty much light tight. However, best not to change the film in bright light
I love the ganged Aperture/Shutter speed. Could use that on modern cameras. :)
It definitely speeds things up once you’ve taken a light reading
I loved the process of these cameras. Sold mine many years ago😪
They’re quite affordable now if you want to go back to it.
Found one for 44 USD with MINOLTA 28-80/3.5-5.6 AF D lens. Honestly, I don't think I even need it because I have an X-370s with my first film not fully used yet xD I think I lik buying such stuff.
What a bargain 😀
I have a MF icon on my screen and i dont know what does it mean and how to get rid of it
Check page 34 of the manual. You have the lens set to manual focus.
does it have a panoramic mode button?
Nope
Does anyone know why the shuuter release on this camera will not work. No shutter action when pressed. Thanks.
Batteries in?
@ Yes
@@HerbieHerbHerbI think you need to get the camera serviced
I just got one, great video and super informative.
Welcome 😀
Question for you! I currently pay for and love using the mobile application. I have recently installed the photoshop plugin and am loving it as well. I guess my question would be, is one better or more “professional” than the other? Or am I already achieving the best results possible within the mobile version?
I don’t know. It may be a question for Dehancer support. I prefer to use a PC if I can because mixing Lightroom with Dehancer gives more scope to my processing.
It's so amazing to me that in this time we're living TH-cam videos of people reviewing cameras everybody will repeat the same stuff as if they don't really have a real interaction with the camera. The f3 has all the hype but people never mention things as the annoying situation to use a common flash, or the lack of battery check mechanism, the ridiculous LCD metering that is as good as nothing when in a dark place or the fact that is so hard to guess how far off you are under or over exposed, ridiculous red bottom supposed to help illuminate the screen but is so hard to press because its so small, and what about this emergency shutter release why in this place why not just the same shutter release bottom as in other nikon cameras. All this bullshit with the famous Italian designer that forgot to put a a battery check bottom in an electronic camera that at night you can't see your settings in the viewfinder. .. sounds to me as if the nikon fm or the fe are way better designs...coming from someone that have been using the f3 since 2007 and that uses as well the f2 the F, the fm and many other cameras from other brands
I hear you. The FE is a much more useful camera
What is a reasonable price for one of these cameras used these days? Is Ebay reputable? Do you have any recommended sellers? I’m in the US.
Bought mine on ebay. Look through and find comparables to price it 😀
The Olympus is the most beautiful one.
Yip 😀
Great overview, very helpful, I just picked one up from a charity shop, just ordered a battery for it as I have no idea if it even works yet?
I think it’s a beautiful camera
It's been awhile! I love your channel.
Thank you 😀 If you can share the video that would be great
0:33 it’s cool you say that because I just had this camera passed on to me from my dad who got it from my grandfather!
Any Nikon from that period lasts forever.
I used to have one, used it for years and years, made a friend happy with it when I went digital
Do they still use it?
Hi, what brand flash bracket do you use?
This should be fine: amzn.eu/d/52HOaoU
@@threeminutepro Thanks!
Can this be used to scan 120 film?
Yes
This was my first "serious" camera, back in the early 90s, loved it and still have it, although I´m not sure if it still works, but thinking to get it back out and get some decent film. I still miss the more thought out process of shooting film, because you only have 36 frames to get it right and cant mess around with it in photoshop afterwards (unless you scan the negs/slides) but have taken many of my best photos on this camera.
It’s a great camera. One of the first EOS models, which were beautifully designed and very modern when they were released
Wonderful camera, I am the happy owner of one myself. But the door to the battery is the one on the left and the connector for the motor drive is the one on the right as several people pointed out, but otherwise a nice video of a masterpiece, indeed. Many thanks!
Haha! Yes, my bad 😀
I do not use flash, so any limitation of the F3 for that function as irrelevant to me. What I do resent is the tiny, red plastic button just below the finder housing, which is pushed to turn on the illumination of the finder information LED in dim external light and at night. Mine is very stiff and unreliable. From what I've read over the years, mine is not the only body so afflicted, and there does not seem to be any practical repair. This concerns me a lot less now that I've "upgraded" to the F100 as my primary 35mm camera.
It’s a fantastic camera, but I wouldn’t buy one. I use flash quite a lot, and am planning to experiment with the very advanced Nikon TTL flash exposure. The adaptor costs quite a lot. The Nikon F801 seems to me to be better suited to this, and costs much less.
@@threeminutepro The only autofocus Nikon I used before my F100 was an 8001S, which is a hugely underrated camera. The 8001/801 was ignored for its slower autofocus compared to the F90 series, and while it was ignored, that was both trivial and largely updated in the "S" upgrade. That is also the only Nikon I ever purchased an accessory back for, as there is a huge number of features added to the camera operation by microchipping the new back. (Never did much with it, but nice to have.) When I switched to the F100, I gave the 8001S to a film beginner, who later passed it to is sister, where it soldiers on today.
Suspect CLA worth the investment?
Probably cheaper to just buy another - there are loads of cheap working models on ebay. Even better - buy an FG20.
Always wanted a F series camera but the curtain shutter always puts me off it. They don't age as well as vertical blades IMHO.
I found the shutter had problems for a few frames as the camera hadn’t been used for a while. Fine after firing it a few times. Checking on reddit, I found several people had the same problem.
Very jealous of the blacked out version you have! Its the same finish that Leica uses (black chrome rather than just black paint) and was done for Minolta by Leica I believe. One additional thing worth noting (for people interested in this camera) is that the MD series takes older MC Rokkor and SR Rokkor lenses (which are all use the same SR bayonet mount), but you loose some functionality with the older lenses. Because the pre MD lenses lack the ability to set the aperture automatically, shutter priority become non-functional. They still work fine for manual and aperture priority. You need the "MD" Rokkor lenses specifically if you want to use shutter priority (and the "secret" programme auto) mode.
The camera meters again as soon as the aperture closes, and adjusts the shutter speed to compensate, so it’ll get the exposure right for MC lenses, even though you don’t know what the shutter speed will be.
I have my grandfather's S3. Needs an alignment I think. The 85mm is front focusing quite a bit. The viewfinder is interesting that it has no magnification. Keeping both eyes open it is almost as if the camera disappears. Too bad those selenium meters can't be fixed!
I think Sendean might be the only company in the UK that can repair an S3
Thank you. Im researching scanners. ✌️
Welcome 😀
I’ve had a 645 for years now, had no idea about the leaf shutter lens, picked one up yesterday! Super stoked for a new old lens 😂
Happy New Lens! Yes, it’s an amazing piece of kit.
The Minolta X-700 is such a timeless piece of gear. I’ve got one myself, and it never fails to impress me with its performance.
It really is beautiful to use. Great ergonomics
I have one - got it for my 21st birthday in 1982! Still have it but it doesn't work (stutter doesn't fire).
Big shame! It’s such a wonderful camera 😀
コメント失礼致します。 このカメラは電池無しでもフラッシュ以外は動作しますか? 電池無しでシャッターを切ると幕が閉じないような気がします。 また電池が必要である場合、型番を教えて頂けると助かります。
No batteries needed 😀
