which film camera should you buy? $54 Canon Elan 7ne is at the top of my list - a cheap 35mm film slr that will easily improve your photography. I shot with Fuji Pro 400H film stock, which i love the look of and might do a film review on in the future. I look at my favorite film SLR to date, a fast focusing workhorse better than any leica lover but you don't have to spend $1,500 on a glorified metal paperweight. If you're looking for the highest quality 35mm SLR for the best price, this is probably it. If you don't have Canon glass, an alternative for Nikon shooters is the Nikon F80. This camera was made made right before many companies halted their 35mm film camera production and development, instead choosing to invest in digital slrs. TO CLOSE! this camera is the best no doubt - make sure to cop one on eBay before the price skyrockets. Again this won't replace my Contax T2 just because of size and ease of use, but if you're shooting in a studio don't use a point-and-shoot over an SLR... oh there's also 4 different versions (US/Europe/etc) and they're all pretty much the same thing except for
the eye-autofocusing, which DOES WORK but I wouldn't rely on it too heavily shooting with the canon elan 7ne...yeee

Picked up an Elan 7e about 15 years ago and I still use it. I would recommend the battery grip for easier handling. The pop up flash is okay for fill. As for the Eye Control, the key is calibration. You have to calibrate the Eye Control in different lighting conditions for it to work the best. It's like the thumb reader on a cellphone, the more samples, the better it works. For and photography that has action, the Eye Control helps get those split second shots. The only downside I have discovered with the Elan 7e is the film door latch. Plastic is not always the best idea for such an important component of a camera. So, for less than $20 with tools and shipping I was able to find a replacement door latch on line. Shooting film means more megapixels. I can easily squeeze 30 megapixels out of a 24x36 negative. And yes, the lens is the key to getting great images. The Elan 7e is by far the best 35mm camera that I've had the pleasure to use.

Technically the best of the best is eos 1v, but I find my canon 7 (mine is from japan, so the name is different) to be just as good. I love that you can choose so that film leader will not be rolled all the way into the cassette, it's a killer feature for me.

I have eos 300,300v,300x,300n,elan 7n,eos 3.The eos 3 has the best auto focus, really quick and incredible In low light, is spot on in low light and lightning quick, it's bigger than the rest and the shutter sound is loud, it sounds like an slr should sound like a v8 car compared to a 4 cylinder 😂, the elan is silent in comparison what is really nice

I picked up a 7ne after owning its predecessor, the Elan II for many years. The Elan II is still my favorite on looks but the 7 is a better shooter. The Elan II has a random computer glitch that requires a reboot or strong battery. I bought a 3D printed latch to fix my Elan II but the stupid battery door still requires a “spacer.” I really want to try the 3 or a 1V some day.

I had a Nikon F100 myself, but I love shooting with waist level finders so my Nikon F3, as heavy as it is, is the best choice for going waist level under $1000 hahah, but I do have a Minolta Zx which is like very similar to your canon, its hooked up to a super takumar 50 1.8, supe light and some of the best optics hah.

I have the previous model, the Eos 7(Elan 7 I think) It is very strange to me, the eye control makes it the most advanced camera I have, although seems there is sample variation as for you is not that useful. I just love to control focus with my eye so I don't take my eye out of the viewfinder.

The latches for the battery compartment and the film have a tendency to break. Mine had the eye control focus, you have to calibrate it and different lighting conditions can throw it off.

@JoshDavid
@JoshDavid 4 года назад
if you have nikon glass and already have the f100 go with that, but it all depends on your lens preferences and what you're using the camera for - the only reason id go with the f100 or even f6 is if i needed higher fps (i don't i shoot studio) or if the build quality is super important to you (elan was $54 so if it breaks i'll get a new one vs. f100 looks about $200)

If you look closely at the video, he didn’t actually do that. He took two images and blended them in a computer after they were scanned. But the 7 can do 2,3, or 4 exposures. Grab a manual. It’s the rear Func button and top dial.

Great video but small error I have to correct. Pushing and pulling film is done when developing the film. You cannot push or pull film in the camera itself. You are just over or underexposing the film from it’s original iso calibration. 6:42

@JoshDavid
@JoshDavid 4 года назад
yah if i ever have lots of money maybe ill get a 1V but i've done lots of reading and apparently the autofocus on the elan is just as fast, only difference is the 1v has 45 points and elan has 7 points - just means u gotta be good with ur points yahrd
@mcarr4903
@mcarr4903 4 года назад
@@JoshDavid i have the 7ne and the only thing i dont like about it is that there is no spot metering. I settled with the 1n. They are much more affordable than the 1v. Less focus points.. and the focus is a little slower i think, but spot metering.
@JoshDavid
@JoshDavid 4 года назад
@@mcarr4903 yea spot metering could be useful, i use partial for anything i'd need spot for (around 9% vs. 2.5% for spot meter) and it does the job pretty well - in studio I'm pretty familiar with my light in there, i generally know when the camera is giving me too high or low of a meter based on the output settings it gives me nd the light i'm looking at. If i'm super unsure i'll turn partial on and just get closer to subject for a hot sec take a reading and get back to shooting keeping that reading in mind vs. what it's giving me etc. For autofocus I can't find any direct comparison, i'm sure the 1V has fastest autofocus in the game but i'm not shooting birds much so it's never been an issue! elan was made 4 years later so i'm guessing its still fairly quick idk
@anyhoot47
@anyhoot47 4 года назад
The EOS 3 is another option. It has Eye Control and a spot meter. The EOS 3 was priced between the Elan and the 1v.

The specific lens will either allow manual over ride at any time or turn off AF with a switch. I think this body does also have a custom function to disable it too.
