I´m waiting for Nikon to bring us a new film camera.

So very sorry I missed the stream today….my Nikon cameras range from the oldest being a Nikon F2B, to the most modern, a Nikon Zf. I still shoot film on the regular, because I enjoy the process itself. While I love shooting with my F2A, F3HP and about a dozen old Nikon and Minolta SLRs, my favourite camera of all time is the Nikon FM3a…my primary film shooter…I use all sorts of film stocks. My top five films choices…. Kodak Porta 400, Ilford HP5, Kodak Tri-X, Fujifilm Acros 100II, Kodak ColorPlus 200….I get my film lab processed. If I like frames, I scan the negatives with Nikon Z7II, 60mm macro…..I have an older Coolscan IV, I have not used since early 2000s. I need to figure out software for my modern mac. Any suggestions? Love today’s discussion.

I use Vuescan with my Nikon Coolscan.

FM2n is great, FM3 is a masterpiece, but F2 is legendary.

Trying to collect the main range of F cameras. Missing only the F4 and F6 (Gas is real). Great stream as always, keep the film camera streams going!

Know the urge, I miss F, F2 and F5 😊

When I was shooting weddings 120 Kodak 100 ASA, color film, don't remember the name, hell that was 40+ years ago, and for my own images Kodachrome 64 slide film & Ektar ASA 100 slide film😎. Freelance sports events, Kodak ASA 400 TriX b&w film, shot thousands rolls of 120 on Hasselblad equipment. Watching from Prescott, AZ.

When I photographed weddings, I used a Mamiya 645 Pro and loved working with it.

I have the Nikon Compendium (Simon Stafford) on my bed table 😁

Commercial photographer who shot film for the first ten years of my career or so. Most of my work (advertising, catalog, lifestyle work, sports) was done on 35mm, my preference being Kodachrome. Nikon cameras - started with an FE2, ended with F4S Had an FM, FM2, and F3 as well. Still have the FM2 and an F4S. Still love shooting them - mostly B&W. Have found that film has a bit more response in the IR range than digital, so certain details show up brighter on film than they do on digital, regardless of how you try to convert the RAW file to B&W. Also shot 'Blads on occasion (never was a huge fan of the medium formats) as well as 4x5 and 8x10 (product and food mostly). There is nothing that has the feel of an F4S shooting film - the weight in the hand, the slap of the mirror and the whir of the film advance.
