thanks for the great review. I love my T2, jit traveled the world with me, just got a second one after my first one was having power issues, and after the second repair, I got a replacement. I have always been intrigued by the T3 though :)

Glad to hear you're planning on growing the channel, I'm looking forward to watching more videos in the future! I hope you'll end up making a video with whatever camera you end up replacing the T3 with. Also, please consider making your FM Film presets for CaptureOne! I love the FM Vintage ones and would love to be able to use the other sets.

Thanks for the insight, Forrest! Ive been looking at them for a while now.

One thing to note is that you only need to push the button on the T3 dial to go OUT of Program mode into aperture priority modes. It blew my mind one day when I realized that you can turn the camera on and off without pushing the button, and it removed one annoyance with the camera that only existed in my head…

Great informative video. I've wondered about both of these cameras and would love to buy one (the T3 especially), but the price is so damn high, not to mention the price of film as you said.

[@Lisakayeblood]

Super helpful! Thank you

[@elisew5462]

My faith in your opinion on these cameras went up a few points when you said the Fj60 Land Cruiser is the most beautiful car of all time. Lol

[@DesignGuy17]

Wow this video was soooo helpful to me!

[@sevakdilanchian]

Great video. I want a T3 more than ever. Can’t wait to use my T2 when the good colour neg films are readily available in Australia.

[@gurugamer8632]

For film I like M6 TTL and I’m waiting for the new Fuji X100 to come out and maybe Ricoh GR IIIX II 😊

[@jasonblack2460]

I too agree that with the price increases on film that these cameras are losing their appeal. I love my Yashica T5 but burning through rolls with it is too easy. Great video and thank you for the detailed explanation.

Nice review. I've been shooting the T2 off and on for 20 years. Every now and then haha it fires off an amazing shot- and its portability can't be beat. Curious if those cowboy shots were on Portra 400?

New to the channel but a long time follower on Insta - loving the videos thanks for all the hard work on them :-)
