Nikon F3 or Olympus OM2...which one would you choose?

Definitely the worst Nikon camera I have ever tried. The plastic film advance lever is a joke, the iso ring that you have to lift can stay up diagonally in between settings and if you accidentally press it, it can bend. The meter display LCD inside the viewfinder is again a joke, it just indicates full stops and is hardly readable today because most of them are old. In studio, the flash sync is slow (contemporary cameras reached 1/125) and there is no flash shoe to attach a trigger. The first two photos are fixed at 1/80th and you cannot change the speed preventing you from shooting frames 00 and 0. And the best part of all: if you try to overcome the fixed shutter speed of the first two frames by engaging the multiple exposure lever, you will break the film advance gear inside! WOOOW. FE2 is actually a much better camera as there is nothing actually useful that the F3 does that the FE2 cannot do.

This was extremely helpful. I'm a high school student, and I haven't used my camera for a year . A lot has happened within this past year, so this was really refreshing.

Thanks you

I’ve had this camera for about 5 years and I am just now learning that it comes with a double exposure feature I’ve been doing this manually wow

I bought a K 1000 in damn near mint condition The light seal was a mess I cleaned that up A little bit ended up on the focus screen but I just removed it with a clean bit of tissue and distilled water Nothing more This is very important or the screen can ruin Put film in despite no seal replacement I was lucky no leakage But they need replacement. Just one other thing the shutter sticks on 1 sec But all other speeds work fine. The camera will need a general servicing. I think I got it less than a hundred because of these factors Very lucky to find it in camera shop They go for Much more Especially if fully serviced

Awesome tutorial! Thanks!

What happens if the iso is increased to 800?

After chosen the ISO depending of the film, the first thing to do after measured the light is to set the EV value on the lens, BEFORE the apperture and the time.

Thanks really helpfull

Ordered this camera today. I haven't used film since I was a kid and that was with disposable cameras.

Knee-con F3

finallly a straightforward video that properly explains every function and setting, thank you so much!

Thank you for making this video. I have been tasked with liquidating a late relatives things and a F3 is one of those items. There is a half used roll of film in it so we're curious enough to finish the roll and find out what's on those shots.

Please clean your camera before Making a video

Thanks Joel! Just picked one up (again), my first camera I ever photographed on, so I am re-familiarizing myself. This was truly helpful :)

Can I trust my viewfinder?

How do I set an aperture of 1.8?

Thank you

This was very helpful!

Thank you, this helped a lot

Bro for the love of god clean your cameras

Great information 😊

After loading in a new roll of film, you must advance the film to frame number one for the light meter and shutter speed control to work.

Hi! I recently purchased nokton 58mm f1.4 Slr lens to mount on my F3 however seems the aperture stuck on f1.4 No matter how I rotate the ring it doesn’t change may I ask if you know the reason Thanks !

Great videos 📹

Great video. I am looking to replace my aging RB67. I think this will be ideal for me. Thank you.

8:43 for focusing

Great video. Thanks. One correction: the battery is not under the coin screw you highlight at 04:36. It is under the coin screw under the grip.

听不懂，没字幕

very helpful! thanks sm

Very informative. Thank you very much. Planning to pick one of these up soon. Appreciate the video! Anything tips on what I should be looking out for?

Hello Joel, I have a Nikon F3 in almost new condition , and 3 different lenses . I inherited it from my husband. Now I have to sell it. Please give me an advise how I can figure out a fair price. I tried to check prices on e-bay but this was very confusing. Where can I sell the camera plus lenses? thanks

A few notes: T mode is not the setting that allows you to use the mechanical shutter. T stands for timed exposure, where the shutter release opens the shutter and locks it open mechanically, and rotating the shutter dial closes it. That way you don't have to hold it open and drain the battery like with bulb (B). The mechanical shutter backup will fire at 1/60th no matter the setting on the dial. You also don't need to hold the lock down for any shutter settings except to get out of A and X. So no need to press the button to close the shutter on T, for example.

Thank you

thank you for this video clear explanation!

Bought a 501cm and appreciate the video. It’s probably hard to upload with so many people commenting with such negativity but you should still keep it up. These types of videos are super valuable to those learning!

You lost me at 0:27.

just sold one on ebay for about $250 Jan 2022...your video helped

very useful, the owner's manual was not so complete, your info are very thoroyghful and did help me (Yannick from France, a Nikon shooter for 40 years but who never owned an F3!)

you should do a review of that Zeiss zf ;)

Thank you so much for your review. I print user manual but your video is better than manual. Thank you. Nikon F3 HO just arived in my home and i am exiting to use it. So and i have a one question. Which film do you prefer? Color - which one? And B&W - which one? thank you and good light

1/3rd stop exposure comp will adjust shutter speeds even if lcd doesnt read anything different? if i meter a scene and it tells me f/4 1/125th and put +2/3rds comp, it stilll reads f/4 1/125th.. please let me know! cant find any information

Does anyone know how the ttl works? Im using profoto b10plus and Im debating on getting one of these and want to make sure I get everything I need and know what to expect from it. Thanks

How did you clean your battery contacts specifically? All of a sudden both my F2 and F3 are not responding to new batteries. I've tried both LR44 and SR44 batteries and both cameras are in near mint condition

Great review of a superb camera. One advantage of the 7 over the 7ii is that if you are fitting an L bracket it will usually (depending on the L bracket) cover up the cable release button on the 7ii so you won't be able to use it. The 7 doesn't have this problem because the cable release button is in a completely different position. So moral of the story is, if you have a Mamiya 7ii, want to use a cable release for long exposure and also want to use an L bracket, then choose your L bracket very carefully. How do I know this? I think you can guess lol

if I don’t have the motor drive cap will light get through and ruin the film? 🤷🏽‍♀️

12:31 haha just like Lego 😆

What model prism finder ?

Me: Finds it the easiest camera EVER after having used the RB67 Also me: Uses it for all freelancing gigs
