Sword of Christ Ministries An N2000 came with a lens I purchased off ebay, as a freebie. Just For the sake of old times with film I slapped on the voigtlander 58mm f1.4 for a walk about, and was shocked at the results! Now I’m back to home development and it’s been a blast!
@@Blue_Newt_01 An old Nikon lens is better than post of the new lenses on the market today. In the past German lenses were thought to be the best by many but Nikon was a clear second and gaining.

The Nikon N2000 is a great basic camera, a great beginner camera, and a great backup camera. I use mine as a backup to my Nikon F2. I would also use it as a backup to my Nikon F3 if I still had it.
I was thrown back to the age of 17 🤣 I had this model with the film engine inside. Almost every time she started rolling back the film the battery run out 🤣 Still I had the best images with it.
Adoro la Nikon F301. La miglior fotocamera che ho avuto. Bella, semplice, comoda, affidabile. Completa. Ho avuto Nikon F3, Nikon FM2, Leica R4. Non sono un professionista. La F301 è dunque perfetta per me.
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?
@@TylerGajewski today received the camera and brought it to a camera specialist to chek it out if its in good condition. Turns out that the camera was no good anymore, i dont know in English but the thing to rewind the film doesnt work, scratches im the lens, waterdamage and rust where the batteries go. And the advertise said "GOOD AS NEW!" haha so yeah.. Sad story. Now im looking for another camera 😛
Definitely a 50mm. You don't have to go all out on the Nikkor 50mm 1.2, the 1.4 and 1.8 are great. 50's tend to be less expensive, but give you a good amount of versatility in that it's basically like seeing with your eyes. You could go for a 35mm for a wider field of view, but it will be a little more pricy. I'd recommend a 50 for sure though.
The N2000 is a great camera, I love mine, getting a good quality lens is key with these older camera's.

That Nikon N2000 looks great! Cool review!
Found the N2000 for $7 at a thrift store in San Francisco four years ago. Just bought some film and a 35 mm lens to try to get some clean shots.
That's crazyy that's so good don't forget to use it!!

Great work!
Such a cozy channel. Your voice soothing too. Subbed.
Nice composition and contrast, kind of stands out compared to other youtubers.
Lovely video. Please excuse my LOLs at the film loading and unloading mishaps 😂😅
I was thrown back to the age of 17 🤣 I had this model with the film engine inside. Almost every time she started rolling back the film the battery run out 🤣 Still I had the best images with it.
Nice work!
This is a great informative video!! BTW I just copped my first one and it's the same camera.
Glad you liked the video! Happy shooting!
Man. I hope your channel would gonna blow up soon. 👍👍

What size prints are those at 3:51? They seem like a perfect test print size for your photos
4x6's

Wednesday i go buy my first analog camera, its a Nikon F301 with an 50mm lens. :)
M Great to hear! Happy shooting!
@@TylerGajewski thanks amigo

@@DpGc127 Bummer! Sorry to hear that. Luckily, these entry model SLRs are pretty cheap. Hope you find a working unit soon!
What lens do you recommend getting for this camera body?

Found one for 50$ good price or no? I’m debating since I’ve never done film before
Seems fair enough. Best of luck to you on shooting film!
I would shoot always film if films were cheaper.
F-301
That’s a boring place to take photos I’ve been there.
Where is the best place to take photos?
The way you put your camera face down with the lens towards the surface 😬 made me cringe, Especially with a gem like the 50mm 1.2
Don’t worry, I’ve got a protection filter on there. Plus, the lens is built like a tank.
@@TylerGajewski Good! And yeah the lens is not that glass lol
why? The glass is quite recessed
