# The original innovator # permanent classic - Nikon Nikon F3 start record

Foreword

Let's talk about why you chose the film machine as your main camera against the trend of digital. The earliest contact with a film camera was 16 years in October. At that time, I had a small sum of money on my hands and wanted to develop my photography career. Then again, it was a coincidence that the good guys began to indulge in the film, so I borrowed a Minolta SRT from his hands and played it for a week or so. It was deeply attracted by the charm of traditional old machines: The pleasure of the film, the crisp shutter sound, and the heavy, solid texture of the metal. Manual film cameras differ from today's convenient digital cameras in that they require a series of manual processes: metering, determining the image depth of field and selecting the aperture according to the scene, composing the image, adjusting the shutter speed, passing the film, and finally pressing the shutter. This slippery procedure made me feel more and more serious to take a picture. I don't need to spend time figuring out a series of powerful parameters on the digital camera. Instead, I just manage the aperture, shutter, and composition. That's it. The rest is to find good scenery and stories, control the light, and finally record it. All of this has nothing to do with feelings, it has nothing to do with loading, but just feel that this is an attitude, the attitude of pursuing simplification (mainly film machine cheap price ). Gradually, I planted a film of grass for myself deeply, and then I jumped back and forth.

This camera was purchased with a Japanese seller on ebay, because at the time the product was introduced to see the "EX + + + + + +" mark, the first reaction is: lying, so many plus, fineness is so good! Also comes with a red leather case, the overall price of 2000RMB in the beginning, I feel very cost-effective look. So pick up the credit card, click pay on paypal, walk you! Finally, with the EMS freight (250RMB) and tax (200 RMB), the price is about 2500 RMB. The lens used was the AIS-50 f/1.4 head. It was bought at the Shanghai Starlight Photography City, and the owner bargained for the price and tossed it for a long time. Finally, he got his hand at the price of 1,100 pieces. The color was very good, plus a UV lens.

Appearance Gallery

Before you go on the map, you still have to say a few words. I would like to briefly introduce this top poison. Regarding Nikon F3, borrowing a word from Tucson: Perhaps this is a classic camera that is ignored by many Wen Qing. The Nikon F3 that was released in 1980 has a function that surpasses FM2, and does not lose the work of FM2 (as opposed to the literary and artistic fresh FM2, I personally prefer to choose rough and fortitude F3). The camera body is brass, materials and workmanship are full, beautiful appearance. The older generation of Nikon F3 did not have a mud pit dregs door, a lined door, etc. Some of them were only exposed to copper and the legend was always using a good artifact (very durable). The following picture (the camera's picture is taken with a mobile phone, the shot is very casual, just press the camera on the desk on a shot , there is no later period, you do not mind seeing the official

Resolute appearance, designed by designer George Giuliio. The camera is in your hand and it feels like everything is natural. There is a red line on the handle side, Nikon has also been kept as a tradition. Now what is the ghost of "red pants."

The large viewing window on the back is bright and clear. The vision is very bright and clear, and it is said that the field of view can reach 100%. Really really big and very cool ~ Compared to the Olympus-om1 I used before, the experience of using the viewing window alone, the feeling is not at all on one level.

Then the place that Nikon F3 attracts me most is the viewfinder which can be disassembled, and when it is taken off, it becomes a waist plane viewfinder, which is extremely suitable for sneak shot? For my slag that is not hard enough for street-sweeping technology, I often take pictures because the speed is not fast enough. This function is a gospel to me! Next time, I can pretend I'm checking the camera and then sneak shot~ (Is it a rubber stamp in the photo frame, hahaha )

This taken down viewfinder really is full of weight, it is said that a whole piece of optical glass polished into a pentaprism, the shell wrapped in a layer of copper, really kind!

Lens: Nikon ais 50/1.4, lens structure 6 groups 7 tablets. On a certain day, when he was doing nothing to visit Shanghai Starlight Photography City, he saw the camera mounted on FM2 and was poisoned instantly. After negotiating with the owner, it was removed from the FM2, right! I am a bandit! (The boss wants to use the machine). The coating is completely beautiful, no mold, no fog, no dust, I will not see if there is any refurbishment, but the price of 1100 delivered a piece of UV. I am very satisfied with this head.

There is a large light, like the blue spring. The bayonet is still new and has not been worn too much. The entire lens is smooth and smooth, with a smooth feel and no loose feeling. The lens of metal texture is heavy in the hand, and it feels like F3 matches.

Fit! The red leather case is included with the camera. Usually when I go out and take a picture, I'm going to wrap it up. It's safer to set it up.

A family portrait with 135 film has always been Choi Fu, and Fujifilm C200 and Ektar 100 are the film of choice. The Ilford delta 100 was always on the roll, and there was no good chance to shoot him because the black and white scrolls always didn't feel easy to grasp, so I continued to keep it until I found a suitable theme.

Sunset Nikon F3. At that time, I was holding the machine waiting on the balcony to see the setting sun. I suddenly found out: As if the camera itself was beautiful, I took such a picture.

experience feelings

When it comes to using the feelings, I think I can't fail to mention the metering function of the camera. Many old-fashioned film cameras on the market today are either old or have other reasons, such as the inability to buy batteries with the proper voltage for metering (such as the Olympus om-1), or because the aging of the fuselage causes inaccurate metering. But the Nikon F3 I bought didn't have this problem at all. The Nikon F3's metering mode is TTL-weighted central full-aperture open metering. The battery uses two 1.55V SR44 silver oxide batteries or two 1.5V LR44 alkaline batteries. I use SR44. For the first time when I got my hands, I checked the metering function of the camera. Comparing the photometry results of F3 in the A file with the results of the Light Meter on the mobile phone, the conclusion is that the camera metering is accurate and abrupt.

For vintage film machines, I think that metering is a very important issue because it is a key factor that affects the efficiency of the film. Imagine: When we encounter a fleeting scene, we also need to pick up the phone to measure the light, adjust the shutter speed, then focus, then press the shutter .... Is this so stupid? Don't ask me how to know!

Compared with the appearance of masculine, Nikon F3's operating experience is very delicate and thoughtful. The film is not astringent, gently, and a film slides smoothly.

Well, no more say, continue on the map. The following photo is the first volume of the Nikon F3 test shot, the film is the Fuji C200, the scan is Fuji SP3000, because the upload format size can not exceed 8M, so I adjusted the size of the picture in the PS, so it may not be clear enough or grainy Do not mind if you want to see the officer.

This photo was taken on a balcony of the Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art. The exhibition was very tired. Take a look at the Shanghai center and bottle opener that stands in Lujiazui. Personally think that the effect of film shooting, the main factors affecting the lens, film and scanner these three. In the high-definition format scanning, C200 + ais50 collocation, the more delicate particles, the resolution is also quite high. It's a pity that you can't upload a clear picture. This picture has been compressed.

With the towering Nanpu Bridge, you can directly see the bright lights of the Lujiazui and Pujiang coasts of Shanghai when you drive or ride through the night.

At the Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art, I rushed past and took pictures at the Shanghai Biennale. The chimney was transformed into a thermometer.

Shanghai Zhangjiang. This is actually a bustling shopping district. On the weekends, there will be a small carriage tour. Do not know why, this sweep out seems to have a leak, or glare? However, it does not seem to have a flavor, so it is too lazy to pursue the reasons.

to sum up

The Nikon F3, penetrating through the steel bars, is a camera that grabs the "battle" in the hand, rather than a machine that plays or poses in the hand. Think of him as his only camera to record his life, and I think his best home. This camera is one! point! All! Do not! Text! art! Suitable for rough man ~ Disadvantages: All-metal body resistance in the hands, a bit heavy, it is recommended to buy a little wider shoulder strap, for their own neck.

Write last

Since I started playing film cameras at the earliest, I have taken only a few pictures, probably only 10 volumes, but every time I press the shutter, it is still very serious. Despite this, when photographs with good feelings that have been taken before are now viewed repeatedly, they will feel uncomfortable and plain, that is, photos without “spirituality” and connotation, and even dare not say that they are in photography. What should be next is the long way to go: exposure, composition, color and picture themes. This is also written here to give yourself a flag, tell yourself and share it with you to see the officer: Taking a picture is really a serious matter.
