Nikon F3

[@Caballeroshot]

F3 is a beast and will last forever. I shot pretty much everything with it back in the 90s and wish I still had one. Great images, even better commentary!

[@adammissedfocus]

Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video. I can see why, the F3 is just soo pleasant to shoot. I can see this being my go to 35mm camera.

[@RobertAdner-x2z]

My fm andf3 are my go-to when I shoot film in places that humans are out numbered by basically every thing else. If you want a camera that will always work everywhere all the time and still take amazing pics you can't go wrong

[@wintmawhan]

You don't have to press the button every time you change shutter speed.You only have to press for changing A to other shutter speeds.Very wise design choice.

The one reason I got an FM2T. Fully mechanical beaut, no batteries that run out 👍🏼

[@acethesamurai6529]

The battery dying thing is why i got the F2. Took it out to California last year and got some amazing images. Nikon's F line is grailed.

[@adammissedfocus]

I really enjoy the fact that the F2 is a mechanical camera, except for the light meter. That’s a huge plus, especially nowadays.

[@terrywbreedlove]

I have been shooting my F3hp for about 10 years and might have changed the batteries twice. Really isn’t an issue. I also have the F2 and prefer the F3.

I loved the grainydays vibe, and also great photos! Subscribed!

[@adammissedfocus]

Appreciate it! Thank you for watching

[@lorisruffino347]

You took some really nice photos. chapeau!

[@adammissedfocus]

Thank you! That really means a lot and thanks for watching!

[@mjozefowski]

Another amazing video and...I think I need an F3 :p

[@adammissedfocus]

Thanks, Buddy! Hahah I don’t blame you.

[@alexeizhiltsov6797]

Nikon F3 is indeed a great camera! Never had trouble with under or over exposure. But to tell the truth, I am also the fan of Olympus Om-4T. Another masterpiece of that time. Which one to chose? Better to have both!

[@adammissedfocus]

The Olympus is for sure a great camera also. Haha yea I pretty much end up making the same decision when it comes to cameras.

[@fercanizales19]

Bro I love your content, I just discover your channel and boy oh boy you def inspired me to take up photography. Nice video great info and the music on point. Cheers 🤜🏻

[@adammissedfocus]

Thanks that really means a lot! Have fun taking up photography. It definitely is an amazing journey

[@richardsimms251]

Very enjoyable video

[@adammissedfocus]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@louiemanning]

1:36 Pronounced “Tot-num” ;) great shots!

[@adammissedfocus]

My bad 😅 Thanks!

[@eesuuorundide]

I spent $85 to get the regular viewfinder to cut down on the bulkiness and I don't feel any loss at all. Enjoy your camera.

[@adammissedfocus]

Thank you! That is definitely great about the regular viewfinder. Making it a bit more travel friendly.

[@trondsi]

I recently decided to try a "new" Nikon but I had a huge dilemma: should I get F2 or F3? I ended up with the F2, since I find cameras that work like old-fashioned clockworks a bit fascinating, and it was a bit cheaper. So far I'm really happy with it. The F3 is pretty sexy though.

[@adammissedfocus]

Can’t go wrong with the F2. Being a fully mechanical camera (except for the light meter) is a huge plus in my opinion.

[@sputumtube]

Excellent video - subscribed. :)

[@adammissedfocus]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@alhOOO2O]

That's certainly a unique way of saying Tottenham 🤣

[@map3384]

I have an F3 with the eye level prism and it’s just fine.

[@asm.analog]

Perfect video bro!

[@adammissedfocus]

Thank you soo much! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@Gwalion]

Don't load your film on a bright windowsill and the F3 uses SR44 batteries - silver oxide @1.55v - (LR's are @1.5v). A new set is likey tio last a couple of years. Some great shots there.

[@adammissedfocus]

Thanks for letting me know! Will keep that in mind.

[@aarjaycee3601]

under normal circumstances LR44s should last for years in the F3, were they old or used when you put them in? you have a superb camera and you took some seriously nice photos with it too, KUDOS

[@adammissedfocus]

Thanks that means a lot! Yea, I haven’t changed the batteries when I bought it. They were probably some old ones. Good to know that I am set for some time.

[@TXGRunner]

While I really like my F3/T, and it is beautiful, I prefer to carry and shoot my Olympus OM-2S, OM-3, or OM-4T. My favorite is my OM-3T, but I am too self-conscious about it due to cost. The OM cameras are smaller and lighter. Great video.

[@adammissedfocus]

Thanks for watching! I personally have never shot them, but I heard only good things about them. Just might need to test it out someday.

[@TXGRunner]

@@adammissedfocus maybe the next time I go to Poznan, I'll try to ping you so I can loan you an OM camera for a few weeks to try out.

[@adammissedfocus]

@TXGRunner That’s really kind of you. Thank you, but luckily I have a friend who is a huge Olympus fan also and someday I will borrow it from him. Thanks again for offering

[@TXGRunner]

@@adammissedfocus No worries. I contacted the lab you use in Poznan. He said he can process & scan 127. I sent him several rolls along with some 35. Cheers

[@michabutkiewicz702]

Thanks man, now I'm one step closer into buying Canon New F-1 xD

[@adammissedfocus]

Hahah! I feel like a Nikon just might be in your future, Broski xD

[@sawyersmith3965]

I think there is a defect in some f 3 that cause it to kill battery’s fast. when they are expensive as they are it might be worth it to get one from somewhere that has a warranty in case you get one such model.

[@adammissedfocus]

Interesting. I did not know that. Luckily I haven’t been having that issue. I think the battery in the video was just a faulty one. Always recommend getting gear from a place that has warranties.

[@Foxbat916]

New year, new gear. There, I fixed it for you. Cheers!

[@adammissedfocus]

Haha appreciate it! Thanks for watching.

[@johnscarloshowC172]

My F3 hasn’t needed new batteries since I got it. But I always have spares in a little film container haha.

[@adammissedfocus]

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

Yours is much nicer than mine. Mine was in Fair condition and by fair I mean thrashed.

[@adammissedfocus]

Sorry about that. Hopefully it fully works. I was lucky enough to be the third owner (from what I am aware of).

[@arodrigueznyc1]

Something like an F801 does substantially more than the f3 and cost way less even with some leftover for a few lens.

[@adammissedfocus]

Really? I personally haven’t heard about that camera. Good to know, gonna need to read about it.

[@javixo1997]

I have both! Initially purchased the F801s because it was SO cheap and advanced, later bought the F3 because… well, it’s the F3. The major drawback I find with the F801s is not having a split prism screen. I believe you can use the screen from another Nikon but the metering might change since it happens inside the viewfinder

[@arodrigueznyc1]

I have some nice af glass that hardly misses focus but the manual focus is tough. I’ve only had it for a month and never used an f3 I mostly got it for the cheap price

[@Caballeroshot]

F801 or 8008 in North America may have more modern features than the F3 but it is in no way better. You could get one for $75 sure but there's a reason the F3 is iconic and the 801 sells for pennies.

[@arodrigueznyc1]

@@Caballeroshot what's the reason?

[@badlvckbrian9854]

Great video!

[@adammissedfocus]

Thanks!

[@JaedoTae]

Instead of "never again," say "will try again"! One more word will thank you for it

[@adammissedfocus]

Definitely something I need to practice on. Thank you for watching the video!

Oh, look, some Gen-Z thinks analog is cool and picks up a trendy F3……gee, there’s something we’ve never seen on KZbin before.

[@Caballeroshot]

You could have also behaved like a grown up and just moved on but instead you commented like a boomer about something you don't like when YOU chose to view the content nobody forced on you. Grow up!

[@michaeltuffin8147]

I'm four years shy of being a boomer, so I'm just an early Xer. But my comment stands. Hey, at least I didn't menttion the horrible background music that you and every other Zer uses. @@Caballeroshot

[@Standbackforscience]

GenX here. In many ways I think GenZ is helping my generation rediscover all the things we lost, or forgot, or never even realize. And dunking on people for picking up a film camera? Come on, we should be celebrating every time film is exposed.
