What 35's have a data back that prints between the frames?

[beegee675]

Wondering what data backs have the feature that prints the data between the frames and not on the frame itself. Contax Aria comes to mind... any others?

Nikon F6
Nikon F5 with MF-28
Nikon F4 with MF-23 (I think)
... hm...

Be warned though, yes, the F6 CAN do this, but it will noticeably slow down the camera. I thought my F6 was broken until I figured that out.

I don't notice a real slow down, but then again I don't "motor drive it".

My F5/MF-28 didn't seem to affect speed but I usually use single frame the shutter release.

The Pentax MZ-S can print the data between the sprocket holes, IIRC.

Nikon F80s or N80s....

 

[Mick Fagan]

Nikon F3 with the MF18 data back. It is always mentioned that you need the MD4 motor drive to use this back, yes and no.

There is a tab that drops down to stop the film winding all the way in, this interacts with the motor drive. Running the MF18 Data back without the drive attached means you have a tab sticking down doing nothing, livable and doable. I have run the MF18 back a few times without the drive attached.

I don't believe there ever was an N80s. Though the F80 is what the N80 was called in Asia. And the F80s is the one that prints the data between the frames (I owned one new bought in HK back when it first came out) but am pretty sure they never made the N80s...

Just to add further agreement that the Nikon F5 with data back will, mine did at least.

 

[Patrick Robert James]

Contax ST will as well.

Not the data back on Nikon N75/F75

This thread go me thinking the most popular digital cameras (iphone etc) do not seem to imprint the date on the image area (am I right?). I'm thinking the imprint of date on the image area is a trait unique to film. I may have to try it, I'm always interested in making prints that can't be confused with digital spraypaint prints.

Nay, my 2004 and 2012 vintage Canon P&S d1g1t@ls can be configured to stash a time stamp in the image. (Maybe even the iPhone can -- never looked -- never wanted it there!)

 

[MartinCrabtree]

Digital...........oooohhh I said it.

 

[tom43]

@rich815:

Correct, I was wrong. In Europe we had the F80, F80D and F80S. In the US there was only the N80 and N80QD available w/o imprinting.

For digital images, the date, time, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, focal length, etc., are all stored in the EXIF data for the image. The EXIF data can be viewed in PhotoShop, Lightroom, and by lots of other applications.

I don't know of any digital cameras that imprint the data on the image itself, although there are applications that will do that. So, just by looking at such an image you can't be totally certain it was produced with a film camera.

 

[MartinCrabtree]

My Nikon D3100 will imprint the date/time in any JPEG image.

 

[ic-racer]

This is a little tangent from the original post but my impression is that it (difference between digital imprint and film imprint of the date) is pretty dramatic. The digital example (and I suspect this is the same with all other digital cameras) is not the result of using illuminated numbers to activate the sensors at the time of the photograph, the numbers are inserted mathematically to the computer file. BTW these are not my photographs, I have not yet used my N75QD back yet, it has a battery but has been turned off so far. My impression is that the film imprint reminds me of Nixie tubes and is pretty cool.

Great replies! Just to define the question a little further, are there any film cameras that place EXIF-type exposure data on the non-picture areas? Seems to me it's just the date, maybe some user-designated numbers, but no actual f stop/speed data...

Nikon data back MF23/MF24 for Nikon F4

Between frames: Year/Month/Day, Day/Hour/Minute, fixed number, frame count, shutter speed/aperture, exposure compensation value
