Presuming the camera and lens function as new, yes.Would you spend a hefty for a Nikon FM2n noways? I am considering buying one. I found one boxed (silver body) with the silver Nikkor 45mm 2.8P for 350 euros. Would it be worth it?
Basically I have been eyeing an FM3A, but the price for it just does not feel right for me.
What do you think?
The Smena 8M is very reliable once you get it working first. There is very little to fail there.
You realize that the FM2 and the FE2 have many many parts in common right?
Yes, the FE2's electronics are not bulletproof, but at least they're more reliable than the FE. If my FE dies, i can use any of my other Nikon cameras.
There are quite many AF-D lenses if not all that outperform you AI-S lenses. Actually almost all AF-D version is better in terms of IQ.
You're denigrating one of the most simple elegantly efficient lens flare reducers ever made.Other then the attached NH-35 shown in the pic?
You must be the only person on earth that trusts the Smena 8M so much. Everything is about fail on it as it came right out from the factory.
Oops. Meant to quote that other dood...);You're denigrating one of the most simple elegantly efficient lens flare reducers ever made.
Significant.
The F4 was better build than the F90

The super cheapo F60 offers you center-weighted too.
Les - my idea of a minilab is when I've stuffed too much gear into one of my four darkrooms and am stumbling around it in the dark. I've turned down free drum scanners - nowhere to put one, plus no time to learn a whole different manner of color printing. Need to enjoy the toys I already have, while I still can ! You should take that green shot and list it on EBay for some absurdly high price as a rare collector's version of a military Pentax.
That F1 might be nice and heavy for clunking a Yeti unconscious.
You know how many people who use film use color negatives and wonder what the problem with their results are from and in majority of cases the answer is the resulting scan.
Les, a properly calibrated Fuji Frontier, with a competant operator controlling it will produces the best 35mm color scans that one could hope for.
Well said. And even worse if the lab is using one of those Epson flatbeds like the V600 or V850. Truly throwing the accutance and definition down the drain. Even in medium format!!
Once i had a nice 8x10 analog enlargement done from a 6x6 b&w negative. I went to the same lab to request a neg scan of the same frame (the lab uses a V800). They gave me this file with inferior tonality and, when pixel peeping, blurry fuzzy/smeary edges around the transitions of white to black. Just like you'll find on most scans by flatbed scanners...
The print, scanned by a normal scanner, gave a better file than the negative!!
it happens.This thread sure got off topic.
it happens.
...a properly calibrated Fuji Frontier...produces the best 35mm color scans that one could hope for.
A high-end drum scanner, such as a Heidelberg Tango (that is properly calibrated, and skillfully operated) will produce scans vastly superior to a Fuji Frontier.
