Nikon F3: A Mad Review (sort of...)

What can I say about the Nikon F3 that so many TH-camrs haven't already? Who knows, but this is my perspective on this legendary 35mm SLR, which I have owned and loved for many years. Trust me, I'm a LOT better at still photography than I am at videos, which are more an exercise in public speaking anyway.

    From my personal experience with 3 Prakticas and 3 Spotmatics, if you are getting an MTL/LTL/L and a Spotmatic of roughly the same age from a completely random seller, chances of latter failing are higher. And even after CLA, being put in a hard conditions like constant temperature spikes and drops (I tend to take my cameras with me to hiking, skiing and often work expeditions too), Spotmatics often fail and slow down shutter speeds, while Prakticas work fine. That's obvious, since Prakticas metal blade shutters are superior to Spotmatics long outdated cloth ones. Prakticas are also cheaper and overall sturdier, I'm not afraid to let my MTL3 rest on a snowy bench for a while or to lightly smack it against a guiderail accidentally. I also have Nikon FM and Nikon F5 as well, they are great cameras, but when I go rough I always pick either my MTL3 or Yashica FX-3 just because they share a very good and sturdy metal blade shutter, are light and cheap and have proven being able to carry -30°C.

    Even at Nikon, there are differences between copies of the same lens: My 105mm f2.5 was only average, while the f1.9 version is superb. My 28mm f2.8 never showed sharp cornes, no matter how I stooped it down. The 35mm f2.0 is super. My 85mm f2 is superb, although it is often reviews as "not great". I had a Noct Nikkor 58mm f1.2, it was OK but it could beat a 50mm f1.4 hands down only at the price.

      I just started with 2 D200s, both from Ebay with under 2,500 clicks each. I am excited to play with them. You will like the D300. I grabbed it the other day to grab some bright sun, midday shots (outdoors), came home and put the pics on the PC, and was amazed. I have been shooting the Z9 with S glass for a year or so - so that is the IQ I am used to. The D300 shots were beautiful. I also shoot Leica and would be happy to bring any of my early Nikons to a Leica gathering (won't ever happen, not my style to gather) ... but I would. The D300 and D700 are great. I use the D800 for more detail-driven use cases. And the Z9 gets saddled up with the wonderful 180-600 for my sports shoots. Sorry about your equip loss - those sting.

      I had the 300 f4.5 ED IF - AIS. I dunno why people like that one. I sold it and replaced it with the 300 f4 AF crinkle coat/ screw drive. Far superior lens. Of course, about 3 times the $ but still, for just $250 or so, it's worth having a good 300mm prime. I would replace the 300 f.5 ed w/ the 200mm f4 ai/ais. Now THAT'S a nice little, super sharp lens and great bang for your buck. Though the same could said; the 180 2.8 AF for about 3 times the money is far better, but still, it's nice and light and easy to carry around.......but it does have the 300 f.45 ed if vintage look to it too.

      No. There are some FANTASTIC, high end lenses made in the 90's that are even better than 60's and 70's ai/ais lenses. Look for the lenses with crinkle coat. Not the average "d" lenses of the era; though some of those are good too like the 105 2.8 micro! A true 1:1 prime and it's GREAT for macro! Check out the 180mm 2.8 AF - the 80-200 AF -300 f4 AF. Top grade pro level 90's! That 180 2.8 AF does what the 105 2.5 ai/ais does, but better!!

    An old friend gave me his old MTL 5 B , shutter was broken and the 50mm aperture ring was also broken ( stuck at 1.8 ) , I love it so I ended up buying a working body for 15€, I´m taking my university photography course right now and I wanted something more exotic to photograph with, I already knew how to work analogic and digital photography so it´s just for fun, It´s working perfectly and the aperture ring being stuck at 1.8 sure gives a little more challenge to it, next one I might buy a Nikomat of some kind, I love to photograph analog and the praktica just gives me another piece of love that I have for it

    The D7100 also has that similar D700 look, sensor also made by PANASONIC. My D700 is just an outdoor camera because it can't handle tolerable noise above 1600, unless monochromed... but man if you hover around that 200-640 ISO it has that CCD orange-y warm look that can't be replicated by any other modern mirrorless... So your best bet is that use it with a fast 1.4 prime so that you can keep that ISO level to acceptable noise levels

    I have D810, D800, D300, D200 and still have my D70. I also have Leica M digitals and film cameras and an old Canon 5D MKII. I have been shooting film in all formats for over 50 years and still do. There is nothing wrong with MFT cameras, the sensors are more than capable of producing great results even in difficult lighting conditions. The one crucial factor in all this is the photographer and his knowledeg and skill in using the equipment that he has. No one really needs 100MP sensors to shoot skinny models with bad skin, nor do they need it for any type of landscape photography. Those stuff are designed and manufactured to appeal to the ego of the Photographers, Art Directors, Editors and Retouchers whom seldom konw what the hell they are talking about, so the bigger the equipment the more sense of security.

I was zone focusing and developing my own B&W at 12. Nothing beats a mirrorless with good IBIS and focus peaking. Well unless you’re going for a soft shaky cam pic.

And cause I have to sorrow, in a land so young and fair, To see upon those faces stamped the marks of Want and Care; I look in vain for traces of the fresh and fair and sweet In sallow, sunken faces that are drifting through the street- Drifting on, drifting on, To the scrape of restless feet; I can sorrow for the owners of the faces in the street.

THEN: c1900 NOW: 2022 The footbridge comprises a deck connecting Trafalgar and Terminus Streets, with stairs that lead down to the platform and the streets. The structure rests on brick piers, cast iron columns, arches and steel trestles. Refurbished in 1992 and 2023/2024, the footbridge has a concrete deck and stairs with painted steel handrails and balustrades. The riveted metal lattice work underneath the deck is original. The Bridge was designed by George Cowdery, who was a prominent engineer associated with the early development of the NSW Railways and Tramways. Petersham Station is heritage listed, and has been maintained in good condition. Over the past 12 months, Sydney Trains has undertaken repair and repainting of the overhead bridge, addressing metal corrosion. The work has been conducted during weekend track closures. Due to be completed early 2025. The brick structure, left, is the remains of the original amenities block. Above it was the original ticket office, linked the Pedestrian Bridge.

      He mistakenly called it 100mm 2.5 It's actually a 105mm 2.5 it's the popular lens used by the dude who took the photo of the girl on Nat geo mag cover back in the day. I recently grabbed a copy and it's even better than everyone says it is. He's right to show it as #1. It probably is the BEST (average, consumer priced) vintage Nikon lens that everyone should start with. It's pretty amazing. I'm surprised Nikon doesn't just keep making it. They should probably make one just like the old vintage one, manual focus and a make one just like it optically, with AF.
