I have this camera. I bought it a few years ago for $10 at a monthly camera show i used to help promote online. So the owners gave me free cameras and film as payment. Plus one vendor had the $5 table and the $2.50 table. So I bought most of my canon Eos cameras and Nikon N90 and N90s camera bodies there. One of your photos I saw a red sunspot like on the right upper corner. At 5:20. After you say country roads take me home is the photo with the red sunspot.

I just got the exact same lens to test out 35mm! The Minolta vintage lenses have a history of being radioactive up to a certain year. Due to this there may be yellowing in the glass because of the thorium. Other vintage lenses have this characteristic as well but it highly depends if the radioactive elements have degraded or not. Also when it comes to shooting manual focus on mirrorless, I find that focus peaking helps a lot.
@AmericanExpatDailyАй бұрын

I've been told that Nikon EM's are unreliable. I'm 54, my father bought an EM when I was 10, I was given it as a hand me down at age 15. I used to shoot motorsport with it, an E series 100mm and a motordrive, great combo. A few years ago the film winder broke, easily fixed, apart from that the EM is still going. I ususally feed it B&W film these days and I retired the motordrive....replaced by faster cameras! Great 'street' camera with a 50 or 28 attached....E series lenses of course!

In 1979, I saved up my money to buy an OM-1 for the equivalent of about $1,200 in today’s dollars. As a lefty, I love where the shutter speed ring is located. Too many cameras designed for right handed folks. Think about it 🤔. The great thing about these cameras in that time was the OM System: An array of excellent lenses, and accessories like motor winders, focusing screens, eye cups, the list goes on. It was a good time to be an Olympus owner. Even if the camera’s meter battery died, you could continue shooting with it as long as you want.

Nice thing about the F100 is it can use almost any Nikon F mount lens from manual AI (it reads the F stop from the lens coupling and works in A and M modes) to up to the latest lenses (G series work, VR lenses work, all modes work) so you have about sixty years of lenses to pick from. It has the 10 pin connector so it uses all the 10 pin accessories standard to Nikon cameras (not the latest remote controls or sync to flash). It is recording the photograph settings (including the lens type if the lens is chipped), and the data can be dumped to a compact flash card with the right card reader connected to the 10 pin connector. The F6 was upgraded to use the latest flash system (F6 can use all Nikon flashes) unlike the F100 so the last Nikon flash that worked with a Nikon film camera is the SB-800.
