Your comment about batteries and exposure meters caught my attention. Older cameras that relied on 625 mercury cells for their 1.35V voltage stability as a reference for light metering do indeed have significant shift in exposure reading if using the 1.55V silver oxide batteries. To my knowledge though the FX-3 super never used mercury cells and therefore does not have this problem. I have a Canon FTb which did use mercury cells and for which I purchased an MR-9 "regulated" adapter to lower the voltage from 1.55 to 1.35V. However, I also have an FX-3 Super 2000 which does not need any battery intervention. In fact my particular camera seems to have a different error to yours in that the meter seems better exposed to the shy side in order to obtain negatives which look best to me. 🙂 My Yashica was much neglected by me for a number of years as I purchased it primarily for its mounted Contax lens. However recently I have shot a few rolls through it, mainly on a 35mm 2.8 ML lens, but its images look quite sharp and I thought that most of your Venice photos looked quite sharp although the pictures of your friends not so much... I only recently stumbled upon your videos but find them quite enjoyable - well done - thank you!
Thank you for your feedback! If the handful of film cameras I've used so far, I have never has exposure issues due to the battery, maybe I've just been lucky 😅 I really liked the Yashica, but decided to sell it because I wasn't satisfied by the lenses.
I have two of these FX-3 Super 2000 (1986) SLRs, the latest iteration with 1/2000 sec Shutterspeed. No need to push a extra button for the Lightmeter, like the original FX-3. Its a robust, albeit very plasticky SLR, based onto a metal chassis. All mechanical, the battery SR44/LR44/AG13, etc. is only being used for the Lightmeter to work. You can also apply the Sunny 16 Rule.
Ci sono un paio di foto in coda al video in cui si vede meglio come riproduce la carnagione, non so se le hai viste. È una pellicola tuttofare, ma se a te interessa qualcosa solo per ritratti tocca provarne un po' di diversi e vedere quale ti piace, sempre tenendo in conto che i risultati cambiano anche a seconda della carnagione del soggetto 😉
Have you ever been to Venezia?
I was seven or eight times in Venezia... Maybe the most beautiful town in the world 😍
It sure is unique! 🙂

They're cool little cameras ;)
yes
Hi I was also recently in Venice shooting with the FX-3. Although I think your photos came out better than mine.
Thanks, might be the film stock, might be that I was lucky and the weather was great ;) Did you like Venice?
Mm stavo guardando anche i colori di questa pellicola... Non so se la useri pee ritratti.. non mi ha convinto molto

@@MarcoAries sai consigliarmi qualche pellicola che non sia kodak portra? non vogio diventare povero haha
Ad alcuni piace il Fuji C200 per i ritratti, ma devo ancora provarlo, son povero anch'io XD
