    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    • @threeminutepro
      @threeminutepro 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.
