I have the Nikon 50 mm 1.8 ... I took it off a Nikon Em and I'm using the lens on my Nikon F4 .. the 50mm 1.8 it is Silky Smooth to focus

That iMac G4 though 🔥

ah, i see. Bro is a fan of the right side of the saturation slider

I've a copy of Nikon 50mm f:1.2 AIS. I bought it brand new in 2016. This is the Nokon's best 50mm lens. Yes, it's a manual focus lens which I use with my Nikon D810 DSLR but I've Nikon FM2 film camera as well. Monirul Islam Dhaka, Bangladesh. 18 Jun 2024

I'd take a Nikon FM2 any day over the F3 these days. I don't need all that extra crap. Just need a camera that does everything manually and nothing more.

bro messed up the Closed caption :(

Your thoughts on the 35mm F2 would be interesting? For me, it's quite a "funky" lens with poppy color.

You deserve one million follower only for this video. Sublime

This content is way to good to have less than 2k subs mate ! Great images and solid content

Dunno i already got milvus 50/1.4

I just got f5 for its afs compatibility and waist finder. But i plan on getting f3 mint after i sold my fg. I love street shoot. And waist is the best for street. Even better than rangefinder

great review of a great camera , really enjoyed your video , look forward to seeing more

brass, not steel though

All well and good, but there are now serious roadblocks to using film. And I should know as I started in the 1960s and have been with Nikon ever since. Film cameras are great to use and Nikon lenses are plentiful but the downsides are these. 1. Film costs a lot of money to buy and get developed. 2. Places where you can get film developed are becoming rarer and they charge more than $1 a shot. 3. Unless you own a darkroom with $3k worth of equipment, you will scan your negatives. So you are back to digital output anyway. And a good scanner can cost $800. If you use a digital camera to scan, then the output is from that camera, not the original film. So whats the point?

Great video. I enjoy my 3 Nikon F3 HPs too. Thank you RS Canada

Great review.

The FM3a was even more manually operable, and that wasn't even introduced until 2001.

Where did you get the roger deakins shirt lol?

Really bad audio... Sorry... Back button

For multiple exposures of overlapping subjects, it's best to set your EV to -1 (for 2 exposures), or -2 (for 3 exposures).

Very beautiful photos and video, thank you so much. I want to take my Nikon F3 to Kawaii with me and hope I can get beautiful photos like yours. I already subscribed your Chanel. Any suggestion about travel with film to get through Security and the airport?

F3 F3HP F3T F3P F3H F3AF F3L

I probably have more than 20 old MF Ai,Ais and none Ai Nikkor lenses. This one is one of my absolute favorite. Makes soft dreamy photos at f1.2 , perfect for Christmas snowy photos, then its super sharp, especially at F4. Lovely lens.

I couldn't agre more with title. I own m4, IIia, Mamiya 645j, But Nikon was made for pro not to be jewelery. This is tank. Anyway some idiots sey that it isnt pro becouse it has electronic shuter but. If You can have 20 roll of filn You can have battery to. 2001? Mi was from 2003 but heh it could stay in storage forawhile. Protip for wiewfinder from me. Snowboard sprey for glass. Protip 2 You can have custom back even with this window ;). What can i sey. It have F mount :3

Hi, such a great video. thanks for sharing. I had some questions, which F3 is the best? also is the Waist-level viewfinder mode with magnifier is included with the camera or do I have to buy that little open-up door seperately?

I really enjoyed watching this review. Usually reviewers will take photos of boring things like their cat or a vase. You actually showed what it is to use it in the real world with beautiful, artistic (meaningful) pictures. Subscribed.

The other benefit of entering the focal length info is having the correct IBIS compensation in the camera.

😢My workhorse for 20 years. Use it still today. However you are not loading the film right. And you shall never take off the wivfinder without replasing it with another. The shutter is made out of titanium, so it will last almoust forever. I have all lenses and eqipment to this kamera. and everything works fine. Bought it new in 1984 and have shot several hundreds of thousends photos with it.

Great pro workhorse (if that's what you need), but for manual focus excellence just get a Canon T90. Reliant on batteries (just like the F3) it has many more shooting and metering options and has the vast array of peerless colour-coded FD lenses at its disposal.

I recently acquired a mint condition Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 AI-S. From the moment I mounted it on my Nikkormat FT3 and looked through the viewfinder, it became my favorite lens. The larger barrel size feels better for larger hands. As noted in your video, the focus ring is stiffer, but that not only does not bother me, I prefer that tighter but still smooth operation. The view looking through the finder is tremendous. I am anxious to shoot some film and digital with it. Thanks for your post.

Back in the days when photography was enjoyable... it was the best camera ever. It has more than you need in a camera. The flash system sucks, but I used a Metz 45 connected to the PC socket

Bravo!

It's not that great on DX bodies, love it on my D3 tho

Hope you have a fat wallet

Tyler, I wish you didn't muck up your videos with annoying music

I was gifted a Nikkormat FT N. That is as close as I can get right now. Only shot one roll so far. I'll get it back in ten days... maybe. I will pick up an F-3 one of these days.

Good one. At the time pros (and they do talk to each other) were telling me to stay away because of the bad electronics in them. In any case my terminal film Nikon was a F2a.

I have this f1.2, 50 mm lens and love it.

I think the F4 is much more comfortable and better looking imo. It is also obv more capable, but then so is the F5 and then F6 too.

I absolutely hated this lens and traded it for the magnificent f2 version, never looked back

Nice Video as general introduction to F1.4 Nikon.However please shoot some head and shoulder portraits with it wide open F1.4 with proper fill flash or using reflector to make a point to why people really buy that lens.

Doesn't G mean gelded rather than gilded?

Did not know this camera could be used fully automatic (without hiccups) and that it used such small, easy to get, and long lasting batteries... I always saw the F3 as some instagram hype, but objectively speaking, it suits my needs perfectly.

The film cartridge view is a genius idea!

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or super egocentric vloggism lmao

You lost your mojo with shaving that mustagé

I bought my first Nikon, a used F with a prism finder, in 1967 and have never looked back. The F2 has long been a favorite and I have several, but the first time I held an F3, I was in love. I currently own three F3s: 2 with HP fnders and one with an action finder. All have MD4 motor drives. This is an excellent review of a fantastic camera! Oh, I still have and use that original F.

I am using a D850, and a F6. My principle lens is a Sigma 50mm F/1.4. I want to use it in manual focus, but let the camera figure out the F stops and shutter speed. Will the F3 HP, do that?

have you or anyone else done a comparison of this lens to the Noct version?

Ive got a mint one from Japan- what a Beauty indeed!!
