Was the Nikon F100 the best modern film camera ever made and is this the right camera for you?

Great video as always Darryl! Look forward to the video on the F3!

Thanks Sam, maybe a couple of videos on the F3 😉, planning on taking it to Japan in a couple months 😁

Agree 100% Darryl. I bought an F100 as a backup to my OG Nikon D1. They were $1000 USD at introduction! The D1 was untested in March of 2000, so having film in my bag and an F100 gave me piece of mind. Be thankful your career started with the Nikon D3. The early years were a struggle. I shot the D1/D1H/D1X/D2H/D2X before Nikon introduced the D3. It was the first Pro Nikon to shoot full frame with reliable AWB. Cheers!

Love Nikon. My F5 gets regular work. The F100's big brother.

For the money you can not go wrong with F100, but the F5 is still King of the Nikon film cameras

The F100 is a great camera, especially for the money. My only issue with it is the plastic film door latch - but there are metal kits available online to address that problem. I haven't needed to use one - yet - but that day is getting closer!

I am a Nikon fanboy have a couple of FM2N, FM3A and a F6. The F6 is a tank as well and is my go to when it rains :)

@DarrylCarey 24 күн бұрын

What lens are you using on the F6 in rain? I have heard the weather sealing on the F6 is much better than the F100

@jean-claudemuller3199 21 күн бұрын

modern E type Nikkor F lenses are not compatible with the F6 nor any other Nikon film camera

I have one but I have to say I prefer the canon eos 3. I bulk load vision 3 and the f00 is not good for bulk loaded film. It retracts the film all the way back in the canister and I’ve also noticed that the Nikon tends to think my bulk loaded films are at the end long be for my 36 exposures.

I didn't know Nikon made a 35mm 1.8 G lens, except for the dx format lens. I'll have to look into that one. Yes, I would love to see you do a video on the F3. I have two of them.

@DarrylCarey 24 күн бұрын

The 35mm f/1.8 G is a really nice lens, been around for a while now and very sharp wide open. Whats the number 1 thing you like about the F3? 😉

@BeingWolfy 24 күн бұрын

@DarrylCarey - I like several things about the F3, but the #1 thing would have to be the amazing 100% viewfinder. Next would be the build quality and the smoothness of the frame advance. It's the smoothest advance I've ever used. Better than all the Leicas I've used, imho. One other thing I like about it is the fact that the frame advance doesn't need to be pulled out to turn the camera on and take a picture. I hate that about the FM bodies.

I love mine. but I wonder if the F6 is better. I am not planing to drop it, even if it is, but eventually, it's going to die. Mine is used.

@DarrylCarey 24 күн бұрын

I know the F6 is a better camera, but the prices are still crazy compared to the F100. The F6 was made between 2004 -2020, which is crazy to think was still making a film camera in 2020 😱

@RonEMarks 22 күн бұрын

I am very happy I have an F100 but it sits mostly unused since I got an F6. I won’t sell the F100 though. I save it for times when I don’t want to risk the F6 to damage or theft.

@alanreid208 24 күн бұрын

I love my F100's. But I'm afraid my Nikon F6's take the crown for the ultimate film camera. But for the price, the F100 is a no-brainer for anyone wanting a well-built camera. The colour matrix metering is amazing.

@DarrylCarey 24 күн бұрын

Still looking for an F6 at a good price 😁 The Nikon F5 is an awesome camera and love the fact you can add a waist-level viewfinder to the F5, wish they had kept this on the F100 and F6

@jean-claudemuller3199 21 күн бұрын

The Nikon angle finder just works perfectly on all bodies

@morelife3750 21 күн бұрын

I’m new to cameras and was wondering what is it exactly that the matrix metering does ?

@alanreid208 20 күн бұрын

The camera meters a wide area of the frame and sets exposure according to tone distribution, color, composition, and distance for results close to those seen by the naked eye.

@jjuarez83 6 күн бұрын

F6 price is still up there but they have dropped in price. I will have to keep my eyes open for a deal on a F6 as I suspect I may like it better than my F100.

@sonholee5769 24 күн бұрын

I go between my f100 and f3. I just have D lenses for my f100, but I am thinking of getting some used G lenses for them as well. Typically yeah, the experience with the F3 is more fun. I thought about getting the waist level viewfinder for the F3, but I've read in places, that it is not that great... Shrug.

@DarrylCarey 24 күн бұрын

The nice part about the Nikon G-Series lenses is they are more affordable 2nd hand with a lot of Nikon shooters switching to mirrorless. You are right about the F3, I enjoy shooting with the F3 over the F100.

Reminds me of my ol F4,4S,5 THE GOOD OLD DAYS~~ WAIT... You were just in japan. No Waist level VF'S there?

@DarrylCarey 24 күн бұрын

I had a look around, but sadly could not find one 😩 I'm back in Japan and Taiwan in a couple of months, will have a look again. I have to be careful as I end up buying more than I planned.

@gewglesux 24 күн бұрын

@@DarrylCarey I'm surprised. They're plenty of good shops in Tokyo. i'm sure the next time in town you will find what you're looking for. I've never been to Taiwan so i can't comment . Good luck

These used to be $100 before all the hipsters thought they wanted to shoot film LOL. I've always liked the F100. Hard to find used one without the sticky backs

Easy to clean up the sticker. Can get a deal most of the time, if the seller doesn't know that .

Hi Darryl, Cheers for that and I too look forward to your F3 video. It's one camera in my collection that I won't part with......well to be honest I don't want to part with any of them.

@DarrylCarey 24 күн бұрын

Something special about the F3 and they look batter as they age. The viewfinder is still one of the best for manual focusing 😁
