Nikon-Film Vintage Cameras

Nikon-Film Vintage Cameras

If you have come thus far, all the way back to the dawn of photography, you may be like me and enjoy taking your time manually focusing and, alone with your thoughts, concentrating on the object of your photography.

Maybe it is the spirituality associated to capturing your version of reality and not being sure [instantly] you have accomplished anything. Maybe it is the intensely emotional look the silver crystals give to your street photography. Maybe the way they go about images, the slight imperfections that impart a sexy, yet surprisingly revealing flavor, that is missing in the lifeless limbo of digital photography.

Or maybe because, like me, you grew up in some grainy dust depression, and you are frugal in a severely Dickens’ way … when it comes to spending on equipment.

I am a lifelong black & white photographer interested in the interpretation of life by the artist, his personality [which generally transcends in inverse relation to the technical refinements of his work.]

    Even with low FPS, you will run out of film very quickly. It's only 250 frames...do the math. For example: at 20 FPS you will only have 12 seconds of video.

    Right! I didn't sell cameras, nor am I or was I a professional. But I do remember this kit from when I was a younger man. I have a superb F3 today, the 50mm f1.2 lens and MD4, plus a bunch of other kit. Love it. If this chap uses this, begs question where does he get bulk film, how much does it cost and where on earth can he get it processed. All academic, still. I have camera junky envy.

    There's definitely something to be said for just having everything mechanically coupled and most of all SIMPLE. Modern versions of this system like the F5 are better in almost every respect except for three things. 1) They can't be as robust as purely mechanical systems because electronics tend to have a shelf-life. 2) They're never going to be as tactile and satisfying because the buttons and controls are all electronic rather than being mechanically coupled. 3) If the battery fails, they still function just fine. Bonus) They don't have as much style as the old systems. I'd still pick the F5 (or just stick with my Sony A7iii), but I'm playing around with an F2 I just inherited, and it's VERY satisfying.

    Just picked one up today. Mine looks a little different though. Theres no place for a battery on my viewfinder, and it doesnt have the protrusion out the front. Or a rotating number dial like this one. It does have an obvious lever on the side though, which this doesn't An earlier or later model maybe? The rest of the camera is identical. Its an incredibly solid feeling piece of kit though. I think it might be heavier than my F100 which is a physically larger camera. Quite happy with it so far.

  • @nikon-filmvintagecameras2630

    One of the features of the Nikon F is that the viewfinders are interchangeable. On our website we have a collection of 7 black Nikon F models, sorted by date of manufacture with their respective viewfinders. You can also see the different Nikon F models individually, each one with its own video review. Anyway, all Photomic viewfinders need a battery in order to work and the one without battery is the Eyelevel (pyramid shape). There are at least 6 different Photomic models. If you disassemble the Photomic you will find the battery compartment as in some cases it is located underneath. I hope I have been helpful. Best regards!
