Beliefs and myths are not good for humanity. The pros used RZ67 for decades on all kinds of conditions and it was proven to be an extremely reliable machine. Electronic shutters mean the shutters themselves are easier to service and will get consistent shutter times. The cameras can be...

It's beautiful. That lens has beautiful rendering. I'm looking at mine now, it has smiled at me and told me "Look at my green nose ring. I have beautiful rendering."

Bronica, Mamiya, Pentax... they all make great lenses. But IMO the Bronica lenses for the ETR are a bit better finished/built than the ones for the Mamiya 645 system. I like my 50/2.8 PE lens. And the 150mm lenses for the ETR system, like the 150/3.5 MC and the 150/3.5 PE, are splendid. The...

No, you're not! You're sane!! "Magnum", "Blue steel".. They're all the SAME look!!

Thank you! Yes, all of them fit your Nikon F. The most "correct" aesthetically, are the ones that have a letter, like "Nikkor-H", "Nikkor-O", "Nikkor-Q" etc. Those are also known as "non-AI" lenses and sometimes "pre-AI" lenses. They came from 1959 to 1977 aprox. The AI lenses came later...

I fully agree with you, however the OP wants "sharpness" as main criteria and i think the AI version is a bit sharper at least wide open. I sold my AI 200/4 as soon as i got a Q-C 200/4 so personally I do like the Q-C version...

All these lenses are not expensive and a good value 28mm f3.5, AI-S version, or H-C version 35mm f2.8, AI or AI-S 50mm... keep yours if it's optcally mint 85/1.8 Nikkor-H any version for a tele, OR 105/2.5 any version 135mm f3.5 AI or AI-S version only (Q version lower on contrast) 200/4...

+1 Well said.

+1 Richard Haw's website is thorough and has all the information you need. Just make sure to READ the separate page on "how to work with helicoids" and to follow his advice carefully. We're lucky to have Richard Haw's pages, even though he's a bit of a anti-Canon guy ... lol... Also note...

But... does it really have the quality of the Rolleiflex TLRs? Because that's a very high bar. I consider the Rolleiflex TLRs to have a higher build quality than, say, Leica rangefinders. But, to put an example Rollei product: The Rollei 35 cameras are far from having such quality. (And yes...

The camera needs service. Probably one of the timing switches near the mirror box or shutter needs cleaning and/or adjustment. Or, even more likely: the memory lock switch (not the user's memory lock but the internal ML switch). But anyways, it will need a service. The electronics on these...

You mean ... Br!ng B@cK K0d@kR00m3?

He got the 1000th Nikon F ever produced!!! Camera Collector Scorecard: LesDMess 1 - 0 waynecrider

Video: Commenter: "Look at the tones on the skin, it has that slight orthochromatic quality, and I love it" Pretty much the worst thing of P30 is that orthocromatic-like sensitive, which makes skin look ugly... The commenter on the video is clearly an unashamed shill. P30 looks great, just...

This is clearly a Nikon F. Do you mean you bought what was advertised as a F2 from KEH and got a Nikon F? Amazing that KEH could make such a mistake.

No problem, i used a dedicated Nikon flash and it worked great.

Yes, the accesory does exist, but I don't know where does it connects to. In theory, it connects with the motor drive.

I see many great cameras mentioned.The truth is, there are many great cameras out there. Lately I'm enjoying my Contax IIa rangefinder. It is small, extremely well made, the rangefinder is very clear and precise and it can shoot some superb made-in-germany Zeiss lenses plus some really good...

Hush hush please don't mention it... let it stay under radarrrrrrrr

+10000000 Agree.

I recall Pentax also offers the same for the P6x7 system. I wonder which body part to store the battery in so it stays hot? Discuss... My point was that Nikon did well in integrating the F3 motor power to the camera power. While Canon on the F-1N has a silly accessory that couples the motor...

I have my own camera store in instagram. If you want film cameras, that is. However, every camera I place on sale sells within 3 days. I'm sending you a PM so you can contact me.

It seems more and more people are appreciating this obscure camera. We need to be careful so prices don't rise. Which camera? The one with the Neo-Hesper lens. I prefer not to disclose the camera name.

Comparing the F3 to contemporary (1980-81) cameras is having no historical outlook, and having an axe to grind?!

This is a very good feature of the F3 that I overlooked. The Canon guys made the silly mistake of not including this feature on the F-1N, which supposedly is as easy as simply adding just another electronic pin on the bottom of the body.

They probably read Photrio too.

We already have discussions on that topic, feel invited to see: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/observation-on-camera-reliability.189246/ https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/thought-experiment-what-if-electronically-controled-cameras-are-actually-no-less-reliable.189725/

Exactly... And two LR44 cells are tiny, even compared to a Minox film cassette!!

This video will free a stuck camera but the conditions that caused it to get stuck will stilll be there, so it will eventually happen again.

You mean the mirror, right? All these A-series Canons suffer from lack of lubrication and cleaning to the mirror mechanism due to years of neglect. A full stripdown is the best way to clean and relube that mechanism.
