I have one .

Nice setup but I’ll stick with my Canon P and Canon 50mm 1.4 lens

I was curious if you had any guidance on where I could get great videos to learn photography. I've had this camera for over 10 years actually and I started learning it but was still a beginner and lost a lot of my knowledge. I was hoping to hire someone maybe once a week to teach me but not sure where to even go for that. Any guidance you have is appreciated. Great video!

Nice analog vibes in this video!

Loveeee it, thank you. Do you remember the settings on those pictures?

I’m not sure if my camera works, I can’t see out of the window on top. How do I develop the film?

Thank you so much for this!!! I also take photos to help my anxiety. Thank you for helping me feel less alone! I just ordered a 500G up and can’t wait to try it! Love your channel and your photos! Super inspiring!!! 💙

Cool!

I've got 2 ME Supers and a MX, with a LX on the way.

Beautiful Photos!

Awesome Video. Thank you for sharing, Aly!

Thanks I just found the camera

You can use pre-ai lenses in stopped down metering mode

My cousin was a photographer in the Vietnam war. He told me that they would return to base with the Nikons caked in mud and hold them under the hose faucet!

Nice 👍

I always thought it was pronounced pho-tom’-ic.

Nice! Digital Nikon owner here thinking about returning to analog in order to counteract digital manipulation and ai. Subscribed

A minor correction: the longest shutter speed is 8 seconds, not 1/8s. Nitpicking aside, great review, better than most I've seen on the F3. So many reviews just say things like "it takes great pictures!" (as long as it's not broken, why wouldn't it?) and "I just loved using it! without really going into any detail on the features or how it compares with other cameras. After getting a D200 in 2006 I didn't shoot film at all until 2018 when I decided to get an F (FTn) on eBay. I used that for a few months before I decided to get an F3. Like you said, it just feels very pleasant to use. It has heft without feeling heavy and the controls just all feel very nice. It seems dumb to care about the film advance lever so much, but it really is very satisfying. I just feel like I want to take photos with it. I do agree with the common complaint that the LCD is less than ideal though, and the light for the LCD is completely useless. I was gifted an FE2, and while in some ways it's better on paper, I just don't enjoy using it that much. The overall feel just doesn't seem as nice, and since I view with my left eye, I really hate that the film advance lever has to be pulled out to activate the meter. I accidentally turned the meter off several times with the bridge of my nose. As far as aperture priority goes, my first SLR was an EM, which *only* had aperture priority, other than flash sync and bulb. So that's what I'm used to. I shoot in manual mode occasionally, but most of the time if I'm up against difficult lighting I just point it at what I'm basing the exposure on and recompose while holding the AE lock button, which is arguably in a good spot. I want to shoot some more with my F too, but the meter is currently being more flaky than I would like, so that's going to have to wait until I can take a close look at it.

Oh my goodness I could cry. Thanks to your video, this is the first time I've successfully done a small fix on one of my cameras. Thank you!

Aly, I'm just about to buy the Rolleikin kit for my 2.8F. Your videos are just what I needed, thank you. Hope all is good for you and the family. Looks like Milton was north of you. Be well.

Very helpful for my Argus camera. I couldn't find a video on how to remove the viewfinder lenses and came across this video so thank you for showing the process on how to take them out.😀

How do you set the photo so that it is not blurry?

Congrats for your review! Love it. Greetings from Brazil 🖤

Nikon F3. Say no more

Just brought a camera today. Will need to do this! I brought 120 film. which has a slightly larger lip will not fit in a 620 film camera. cutting the extra plastic. getting an empty 620 spool will be easier. I decided purchasing both

Can i use this len on Nikon dslr D810 ? please.

Hi,i have one .Saludos desde España.

Thanks a lot for the video. I want to buy a rangefinder and I've been considering options

Love this camera. Picked one up at a similar time to you and it comes everywhere with me. Now looking for a good 1970s styled Auto exposing camera for my daughter. Any suggestions? Other than Trip 35

THanks for making this video. It's nice to watch and it has helped me to figure out how to use my new vintage canon 7. I'll be primarily using mine to take pics of my newborn daughter as she grows. I picked up a little bit pricey canon 85mm lens for portraits. But now I am confident on how to set the light meter, and can't wait. It is a beautiful camera. Thank you!!

Always dreamt of a Bessa 2 back when I was starting out my film photo journey, but never could afford one (let alone a Leica). Now my GAS transformed into a film camera shop with 1000+ cameras :D

Dope Accessory! Never seen this before. Always thought those 35 - 120 adapters that we sell are a relatively new invention. Thanks for sharing!

You are shooting an Exakta too ?😮

I just bought an old Nikormat to get this lens. Mine has some fungus and dirt inside. It's going to be a winter project cleaning it out. Can you recommend any videos on disassembly of this lens. I really enjoy your videos, and i just bookmarked your website.

Anyone have suggestions on someone that repairs and services (CLA) these cameras?

What a treasure

Bessa R2c plus a Helios 103 would make a hard-to-beat combo

Great, looking forward to the review.

I feel weird having lived the time when these cameras arrived on the market.

I went for the Fuji. It's been CLA'd now.

I grew up with film but with point and shoot cameras. Mostly 110 film. I got my first DSLR 7 years ago and got into photography. I love digital photography and gear but I found myself going full circle back to film. I bought an old Canon AE-1 back in April and just last week I bought a Minolta srt 202 for $40. A couple of weeks ago I bought a scanner and last week bought the stuff to develop black and white film. Hopefully this weekend I can get started developing. I bought Ilfosol 9 at a local camera store (2 hours away). I'm going to give it a try first. I like the look of the HC 110 though. A man I know used to work for Kodak for over 30 years. He mostly shoots medium and large format. I've seen some of his pics on fb using the HC 110. The contrast is similar to how I edit my digital pics except film is better. I think that's what I want to try next time.

I use this lens on my F4 and Nikkormat cameras, but my favorite use is on a Sony Nex7 for taking wild mushroom photos. It's light and has excellent excellent focus aids on the Sony. Thanks for all your videos.

What lens hood for this lens?

Is that camera about 3.5A?

Good informative video. Thank You.

I went back and forth between the F3 and the F4. I ended up getting the F4 mainly because I had a few Nikon af lenses . I'm putting my 1st roll of film through it now. I think the F3 is in my future, but I'm really liking the F4 also. I also plan on shooting slide film so the matrix metering was a plus. I'm glad you are taking so many pictures of your child. I didn't take enough. I always enjoy your videos. We have the same taste in cameras.

Ihagee made the Exacta line left handed because they wanted their cameras to be as perfect as the left handed people who bought them. 😊
