Another thing, during the 1980s a huge percentage of all National Geographic photos from all over the world were shot with an F3. It's a legend.

@lensman5762

That is not just a Nikon my friend, it is a true legend. I get a good feeling every time I pick up my Nikon F3-P . The same as when I pick up my M240, or M6. It has that solid precision feel.

@PhotoShootGuy

Fantastic. In my opinion, the F3 is one of the best cameras ever made. The look, the feel, the handling. It truly is a superior camera. Love it.

@cameraprepper7938

I have Nikon F3, but I like my Canon New F-1 MUCH more and I think that the Canon New F-1 are the best analog 35mm SLR Camera ever made ! I do not like the light metering in the Nikon F3, it is much better both in Nikon FE and Canon New F-1. With Canon you have mechanical fast shutter times if the battery dies, there are many more reasons why the Canon are better than the F3. The Canon New F-1 are the Camera that Leica should have had as their top tier analog SLR Camera ! I have never understood why Leica did not make other mounts for fx Canon FD and Nikon F of Leica R series Lenses !?

@deathspawn54

Didnt need to watch, as soon as he said f3, i knew he made the right choice. Best film camera ever. Well done

@mvw5721

I love my Nikon FE (and a few others), but the F3 is on the top of my list. I will NOT admit to having GAS...

@jasongold6751

A wonderful pro camera body! Mine was a press photographer's, well used! I've added my own dents! It's made for motor drive! I won't use one! After short throw film advance on Canon AE-1, the way too smooth, advance on F3, and l o n g throw was like Magellan's circumnavigate the Earth! It's very small, but freaking heavy! Enjoy!

@raywilson9450

I once bought a bulk loader at a car boot. Seller assured me there was no film inside. I could hear something rattling - but, hey the seller said it was empty. Well, it wasn't a roll of Portra, but there was 50' of Plus-X. I opened in daylight...FFS.

@LarryParamedic1

I did a battery experiment with one of my Nikon F-3hp. With the MD-4 removed, I started with a fresh 3-Volt Lithium Battery and shot 2 rolls of 36 exp. film a week for a total of two years. The exposures varried from 30 seconds to 1/2000. Even after my 2 year test the camera still worked fine. As you stated, the batteries will last over a year.

@garymc8956

I went the other way and simplified my life; sold all analog Nikon equipment and bought M3 and M2s so I could use all the lenses bought for my M11. I understand your point but maintaining two systems got to be a little much.

@garymorrison277

I've 2 F3's in my collection now, lol. One of them was made at the very start of production in March 1980, with a little brassing, so it has a bit of character. The other one was made in November 1985 and is mint. Enjoy your F3.

@AdamAllen

You've bought the right one. It's pretty much the only camera I won't let go and I picked up the Zf to pair alongside. 🏆

@philparker97

The Nikon F3 just feels so solid and well built in the hands, definitely my most used of the 4 Nikon Film cameras I own. It has been very reliable also, whilst some people aren't comfortable with it being battery operated, I've never had one problem with it over the years.

@peterm.722

Congratulations 🎉. I also bought an F3 as a Leica user. Great camera with a special shooting experience

@AlainGuindon

Another Leica user here that loves the F3, so much so that I have 3 of them! Looking forward to your next video 🙂

@michaell.6445

I just bought a Nikon F3 and I like it very much. So I have a Leica M 11P ,M6 and a Nikon F 3.

@alexandermenzies9954

My F3 and FE2 are still extant and I exercise their shutters now and then. They never let me down.

@bobpollack6894

Mat,though it is not a F3, I Shota F2A for black and white photography. I don’t care how good mirrorless body or lens,become, it will never beat a F3 or F2 with Tr-x 400.
