I’ve got an Olympus OM1-n in truly immaculate condition. I live in the U.K. and picked it up from a small camera store in London. I use it with an Olympus Zuiko 50mm F/1.8 prime lens and an Olympus Zuiko 135mm F/3.5 prime lens. It’s an utterly remarkable camera and I recommend it to anybody who wants to get into film wholeheartedly

@Gabez82 3 года назад

Ye boyyy. The OM-1 and OM2 are gorgeous cameras with superb Zuiko glass. I bought an OM2n in Nearly New, Complete In Box. It’s precious indeed.

@benstacey5508 3 года назад

Gabez82 - Nice!

@shayanplans865 3 года назад

amazing!! I just got an olympus om-40 with a zuiko 500 f/1.8 lens as my first camera, bc the price on ebay was too good to pass up. not sure if it'll be as good as the om-1 and om-2 that come more highly recommended (and usually with a higher price tag), but here's hoping!

@benstacey5508 3 года назад

shayan m. - That’s cool. The Olympus OM40 is a good camera, I believe. I’m sure you will like it

@jordanjoestar8839 3 года назад

I was just gifted an immaculate Olympus OM-G with its kit lense (50mm) and a full metal, 180mm Japanese Zuiko zoom lens dated at 1972. Coming from a DSLR Mirrorless Sony, I couldn't be more excited!

@solidsixx8562 3 года назад

My OM1 feels like an extension of myself honestly, it’s like the quickest and most familiar way for me to make images so that’s why I’ll never stop using it. I even got a picture of it tattooed on my arm!

@LaynoProd 3 года назад

My friend gifted me a Pentax A3000, my first SLR and watching this def got me excited for possibilities of new gear. thanks for the rec, King Jvpes!!

@michaelprior7459 3 года назад

Dang it, I've been dreading the day that a popular youtuber exposes the OM system for how awesome it is, the prices are going to jump!

@joeygmc07 3 года назад

Good thing i have all the OM lenses already lol

@caldera878 3 года назад

The Canon FD system is still relatively underrated.

@RonnyKohlmann 3 года назад

Exactly my thoughts, they are still incredibly undervalued. But it was bound to happen. These cameras are such gems. But everything film gets expensive. I wanted to venture into MF but I realised I dont need the extra fidelity and image quality. Also everything MF that isn't Russian is super expensive these days

@kev229 3 года назад

My OM3 + Zuiko 24/2.8 is really the only camera I’ll ever need in my lifetime. But GAS. OM systems are criminally undervalued/overlooked. Maitani was truly ahead of his time. Compact body + lens(perfect for travel), smoothness of adjusting shutter speed/aperture directly on the ring, one of the brightest viewfinder of its time, the OM3 + OM4 metering system, ZUIKO glass?!?! C’mon

Minolta gang checking in! Glad to see the x700 on here.... love my xg1, x570 and Maxxum 7000

@mercurytibi 3 года назад

I'm really glad someone gives credit for the simple and entry level Eos cameras. I think these plastic SLRs are the ideal "gateway drug" for the newcomer film photographers. They give consistently good results which is the key to encourage people to continue shooting film. And they are dirt cheap by the way.

@avaalexandra777 2 года назад

ayo bro thanks for the video. I found it to be super informational and engaging. REally helped me choose a good camera.

@KBRC81 3 года назад

Just got my F3 a few days ago, and the 50mil 1.4 just showed up today. Pumped!!

@Superbustr 3 года назад

I wish digital cameras could be like film cameras where you buy the digital body and can put in whatever sensor you want. 8mp, 14mp, 40mp, or sensors that are more green or blue centric.

@tomwestbrook 3 года назад

Wow! Great video. The OM-1 was my first camera back in the 70's. Legendary. Small and cheap with great lenses.

@muzicgr8 6 месяцев назад

You are right, the glass and the knowledge of the one behind the camera is what makes great photos. Thanks for the video.

@MrSwaggernaut83 3 года назад

Welcome to the Mount Olympus film gang. We're glad you've joined us!

@alexblaze8878 2 года назад

One thing you didn’t mention: the advantage of the Nikon is that it’s AI/AI-S lenses can be used on ANY Nikon SLR made from the Nikon F of 1959 to the Nikon F6 of 2004. The Canon Rebel 2000 is incompatible with Canon’s FD mount lenses. So if you wanted the Canon F1 AND the Rebel 2000 you’d have to use different Canon lenses for each. One of the reasons many people prefer Nikon film cameras above Canon is this complete compatibility of Nikon’s AI/AI-S lenses. Heck the AI/AI-S lenses will even mount on all Nikon DSLRs if you shoot in manual mode.

@BacklTrack 2 года назад

For canon you can just use an adapter. I got a cheap one for like $20 and I use some of my weird fd lenses on my 70D

@basnoordermeer4249 3 года назад

Nice sharing of personal favorites! Just thought of sharing my own preferences: Pentax LX, KX, K2, KM, Spotmatic: very reliable, straightforward, easy to repair yourself (even the sticky mirror of LX), great handling lenses with superb coatings, all keep going without batteries. Minolta srt101/102: most reliable Minolta, easy to repair, great clc light metering, fully mechanical. I'd skip any plastic Minolta but also the xd7/xd11 doesn't stand aging; too many electronic failures and corrosed contacts. Also like the XK/XM, just for the looks only but it's very big and heavy for a 35mm slr. Olympus OM1/2/3/4: truly inventive, great small bodies that were already appreciated when they entered the market, but stand out even more now. When comparing the viewfinder layout and info from OM4(ti) to Nikon F3 the latter seems like a failure to me. It is nice to being able to exchange the viewfinder but how many people really use such function? In case you do, the Pentax LX light meter is built into the body which makes most sense. Just like Topcon RE super and Miranda Sensorex, both produced during the sixties. Canon and Nikon might be mainstream but not on my list of favorites :)

@carpediem1724 3 года назад

Minolta lens is amazing !!! Fell in love at first sight.

@scottfineshriber5051 2 года назад

I remember when Nikon ruled the film world. The F1 to F5 series was the workhorse of most pros, it seemed. I bought a Minolta XG-M in 1981, and I’m falling in love with it all over again.

@josephcontreras8930 2 года назад

I have olympus om 10 and love it. I git it at a moving estate sale years ago with 3 lenses a flash and a equipment bag for $25 and had it checked by a photography shop and owner couldn't believe they practically gave away such a great camera. I love using it for outdoor shots here in pnw and love the attention I get by digital shutterbug. Keeping it old school...Great great viddie sir please keep up the great work especially seeing the professional way you present your material 👍

@mazdaram226 2 года назад

Superb video, well done young man , respect from UK

@shannonk339 3 года назад

Definitely looking for a solid 35mm camera 🙂 thanks for the video. Makes me wanna try new gear

@anarky77100 3 года назад

great vid, I really really love the F1, tbh I'm slowly getting tempted to get one ahah, and speaking of professional grade SLR there's also the Pentax LX, just like the F3 and F1 it has the removable prism, a frame count that goes both ways (you see it going back too when rolling back, useful for double exposures, auto exposure is also amazing I tried some long exposures in all auto on color + it did like a 25min exposure, and it actually rendered pretty darn good, the lightmeter is legit as good as a canon 6D2, 1/75 to 1/2000 are mechanical speeds, 6-3200 iso, but just like the F3 and its electronics issues, the LX is well known for its sticky mirror, nothing too bad, but you'll have to open the whole thing to get rid of the old gum that got sticky, and it's kind of pricey too, around 250-300 oh I forgot to add it first time, it's also pretty light

@themikepadua 3 года назад

@root9065 3 года назад

Nice channel :) the only time I shot film was in childhood and I had no idea what I was doing haha. Today I shoot mirrorless with film simulations (funny I know), but I dig analog stuff so I definitely appreciate the content you got here. Who knows maybe some day I'll actually pick one up.

@samuelsanchez518 3 года назад

I bought the Olympus OM 4Ti( the revised one that does not have battery issues) last year and it's truly remarkable. The multi-spot metering is a life saver. I use it with the 50mm F/1.4 (Serial number 1.1million) and the 35mm F/2.8.

@jackaffeldt 2 года назад

You do a good job putting your videos together.

@northof-62 2 года назад

A very good list. Great talk! I think the EOS 30V (7s/Elan 7NE) was launched in 2004, whereas the EOS 3 came out in 1998. I am a big fan of the 7s . A semi-pro with EOS 10D like feel and operation. Very underrated camera. The EOS x00 series were more like the Rebels of the digital era, in fact they were called Rebel & Kiss too. The Minolta X700 MPS is one of my favs too. For Nikons of that time I chose the matrix metering PASM 1/4000s shutter speed Nikon FA . It was so good I didn't buy another camera for 20 years. And it still works great.

@VoidShepherd 3 года назад

I learned photography on an EOS 2000 I loved the hell out of that thing.

@Adrian99Diaz 2 года назад

I bought a Minolta x700 as my first film camera because of this video and i've been loving it

@sakeboersma4626 Год назад

I fell in love with Olympus OM when I started photography… and I still am! Beautiful build and amazing quality… From the OM 1, the 2, the 10… the Zuiko lenses!! And then we didn’t talk about the Pen and Trip…. 😊

@Saetchel 2 года назад

Thanks sm for this video! Been looking at options for affordable/semi affordable film cameras and you gave me more options. I originally was looking for point and shoots like the Olympus mju ii cuz they were “affordable” about 2 months ago and now the prices are skyrocketing. They’re not worth the price point now, especially since you don’t have full control unlike the first 2 cameras you presented. Also, I found your channel about 1.5 years ago but didn’t subscribe at the time😭 glad I found u again

@giovcaria6440 3 года назад

The om1 was my first film camera and no wonder I immediately fell in love with film - got it for $100 with two lenses, and I my had to do a minor repair (learned to do it myself, the lever would get stuck sometimes). I adore it, still my favorite

@ldstirling 3 года назад

Aren't you going to mention that the Canon F-1 that you featured is the "New F-1", the second iteration of this camera from Canon? The original Canon F-1 was a fully mechanical pro-spec SLR that came out in 1970 and was a competitor to the Nikon F2. The New F-1, that you have shown was introduced in 1981 and is an electro-mechanical hybrid camera. Both of them use Canon FD lenses. I think it's important to draw the distinction between the two cameras because you don't want your viewers getting them confused.

3 года назад

Indeed! I noticed that too. The original F1 is a totally different camera. I own a New F-1 and it's a tank. If you walk 2 hours with it, you will begin to feel the weight of this camera.

@davidperalta-torres3371 3 года назад

I’ve had my Rebel 2000 for 20 years and it was my first SLR. Only recently upgraded it with the battery pack, eyepiece extender, and L lens.

@edinburghtumuran916 2 года назад

You nailed it bro! The Nikon F# is my fav! But the Canon F! is another prof cam on another notch! Cool!

@joshbarsphotogrpahy5044 3 года назад

My first 35mm camera was my nikkormat Ftn, then i got a nikon F3, now i don’t need any other 35mm slr, they’re both SUCH a dream

@Thomas_Geist 3 года назад

A word about the Olympus OM-1 not mentioned: the OM-1 and 2 have the most advanced metering system in film history. Light meters on camera read the light and determine exposure just prior to the shutter being released while the OM series read the light during exposure and react if light changes. Another thing I liked about the OM-1 over the OM-2 was the fact that it had a mirror lock-up to eliminate all shutter shock. The OM series had one of the largest and brightest view finders (I almost said, ELF) ever placed on a film SLR. Trivia: This camera was introduced to compete with Leica’s M series to provide a small and light SLR. In fact the original OM-1 was called the Olympus M-1. Leica sued and Olympus changed the name.

@ZachMcCordProg 3 года назад

Great video, dude. Came across an immaculately clean 35mm camera at salvation army (actually, two) and regrettably, I didn't buy it. Still thinking about getting one. For some reason I'm just not big into digital photography or really most digital things like digital movies and music. I just like the real deal. Great informational video! Hope I can pick up a 35mm camera soon.

@pablodiazphotography 3 года назад

I shoot the camera all the time, love it! I mostly shoot the 35mm and the 35-70mm are fun!

@rosswingo8714 3 года назад

I love my Nikon F2 to death but for shear portability and simplicity the Olympus OM-1 is my go-to travel film camera that sits alongside my Fuji X-T3. Compact, massive viewfinder, and all mechanical 👌

Then you should have tried a Nikon FM, FE, FM2 or FE3, even an EM.

@chrissybabyist 3 года назад

Thanks for the advice on the battery grip. I have the Rebel 2000. Will definitely check it out. What is a good price range?

@japancamerahunter 3 года назад

Solid choices there.

@gremilyns 4 месяца назад

my first film camera was the canon EOS 300 (or rebel 2000 in the US!) and to this day out of the ones i own it remains my favourite. it just does everything i want it to do perfectly, it's incredibly accessible, and i can control as much as i want to on it. it's not the most flashy looking but it's a hell of a lot of camera for what it is. it was so easy to learn how to manual shoot on it and all the automatics work exactly the way i want them to when i'm not feeling like going full manual, and the photos are gorgeous and incredibly consistent. an unsung hero of photography in my opinion!

@yagikidd2300 2 года назад

@pead445 3 года назад

As someone who's really intrigued on going film photography and the Olympus om-1 being my added wishlist, most of my family are into more digital and I'm having a hard time convincing them that I wanted to do film.

@johnnyquid-xj4kk Год назад

Nice. My favorite cameras: x700 should’ve never sold it, Nikon FA, stolen on my trip to the Czech Republic. Just pulled out an AE-1 I’d put away back in 2008. And you mentioned my dream camera back in the day, the Nikon F3. Owned the F4s, but it was so so. But the FA has a special place for me.

@gcvrsa 8 месяцев назад

The FA was and still is a fantastic camera.

@iamtrillahd 3 года назад

YESSSSSSSSSSS THE REBEL 2000!!!!! FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT IT! ITS SO AMAZING I USE MY DADS EXPENSIVE LENSES ON IT - INCREDIBLE The only issue I have is some of the newer flashes don't seem to work with it, like the Canon one that auto adjusts. I LOVE the rebel 2000 I am about to buy another 2 for back ups.

@iamtrillahd 3 года назад

Aleksandra Kholodna I use a fixed 50mm for any portrait work. Looks fantastic. Then I have a 35mm fixed for daily shooting. And I use the stock lens a lot too it has a decent sweet spot.

@andrewhowarth4578 Месяц назад

Nice job KJ! The best advice ever is to start with lenses you like, then develop your body system around the lens line. My personal favorite is the Nikon F2, which has nearly all features in the F3 and is often found much cheaper. All mechanical, so if things go sideways, it's much easier to have repaired. Since it shares the screens and finders with the original F, those items are also generally cheaper and easier to find. Andy

@jjuarez83 3 года назад

Never knew about the eye control focus, that sounds super cool. I would also add if you got lots of Nikon glass for for a F100 or F5 (F6 if you bleeding money).

@chriscole9621 3 года назад

My canon elan 7ne also has the eye tracking, pretty cool stuff

@rainerbuesching1 Год назад

9:08 I had the Canon AE1 and bought an F1 2 years ago. Can definitively recommend this, as you have 2 bodys, one for color, one for b&w! --- and after watching your vid just tryed out removing the prism for the first time ever :)

@Buck-xf8sf 3 года назад

I love my Pentax spotmatic with the super takumar 50 1.4 and the 135mm

@guiqsmedia709 3 года назад

I have the plastic fantastic! lol I love it with my olympus 50mm f1.8 and vivitar lens. Its great for learning how to shoot film and figuring out how to get the color and exposure I want. Definitely want to either get the OM1 or move to medium format

@Drifter2088 3 года назад

Dang bro you not minolta gang anymore? Lol you got me into minolta my guy good vid

@itmm92 3 года назад

you look skinnier. eheh i am new to film, your videos boosted me a lot to go further on this. I bought a Pentax KX for 75€ (I think around $65 ), still finishing my first roll, but looking forward to see the outcome of your tips on my photos eheh

@terrywbreedlove 2 года назад

X700 was my first new camera i bought 1986. The Nikon F3hp is my current work horse. I bought for $25 a mint like new Olympus OMG from a yard sale. The OMG is basically the sane as the OM 10. I love this little light weight camera it has a bright view finder and a sharp 50mm 1.8 and i am about to put a 35mm on it.

@Bossti 3 года назад

One camera that I feel gets overlooked quite often: the Ricoh KR-10x. It takes Pentax K mount lenses (so you could use that glass even on modern Pentax DSLRs), it takes LR44 or SR44 batteries that are easy to get, the lightmeter will shut itself down after 8 minutes of not being used to save battery, other basic stuff like self timer is also there and I found the diagonally split focus point to be working better than horizontal or vertical split ones in most cases (though your mileage may very on this one). I got ont in basically mint condition on ebay for 30 bucks without lens and another 30 bucks got me a Pentax-M 28mm f2.8 which is also in very good condition. Compared to this setup, all other cameras I got seem ridiculously overpriced xD

@SkywalkFPV 3 года назад

Great to see u start with the Olympus om 1, I do think the Olympus om-1(n) Would be the better choise for the same reasons the om-2(n) you also have, is more superior to the om-2.. The main reason the om-1(n) is more reliable than the om-2(n) because the 2(n) suffers from 'planned obsolescence' the 1(n) on the other hand is the fully mechanical Olympus winner, right!?

@myleshennelly9176 3 года назад

I shoot the Minolta 45mm f/2 on my x300 and SR1, amazing little lens! Do be warned, it's quite easy to accidentally change aperture on it... I'd personally suggest the Rokkor MC 58mm f/1.4 if you're shooting Minolta but its about double the price ;)

@Democratiser 2 месяца назад

Great camera to have. I was fortunate to pick up recently it’s short-lived precursor, the M1, and an M1 lens also! They are exactly the same, just branded differently until Leica asked Olympus to desist from using the ‘M1’ model name.

@Turnipagenda Месяц назад

Nice list. Youd love the Klasse S. Im the biggest fanboy ever of that camera. Try it dude. Keep rockin'...ps I know its not an SLR....but happy to know your thoughts.

I just received my om-1n with 50mm 1.8 zuiko lens. I bought it for 300 euros at professional photoshop. It's in very good condition and everything works fine! Gonna test it right now📸

@STEVEMUNCY 3 года назад

Having some good Canon EF glass, I was elated to find an almost new Canon Elan 7n (without eye control). This is I believe one of Canon's last film cameras and it is awesome! It features many of the features of current digital models, so owners of later Canon digital cameras will feel right at home. Three of the "minor" features on this camera that make it my favorite: (1) a view window to see what film is loaded (YES, no more notes taped on camera!) ; (2) an easy to use automatic quick loading feature for the film; and (3) the ability to program the camera to NOT rewind ALL the film into the canister, leaving the original leader out. (great if you are processing your own film and avoids inconvenience of removing a portion from the canister to spool on the developing spools.)

@rainerbuesching1 Год назад

you can also use a beer bottle opener to open the film - in the dark of cause ;-)

@marike1100 Год назад

Yes, I would 100% skip the Rebel 2000 and get the Elan 7 for its superior build quality alone. Had an EOS 3 and Elan 7 back in the day, amazing cameras. Of the manual cameras the Nikon F3 for the win (probably would have featured the amazing FM2N) and the Olympus OM-1 second.

@olympus2OM 3 года назад

OM 1 and OM-2N are really awesome cameras.

@PissBoys 3 года назад

Minolta have always been the unsung heroes of the vintage manual focus film SLR world. Everyone drops tons of money on Canons and Nikon’s, but Minolta cameras are always a huge bang for the buck.

@alexhaselden4623 9 месяцев назад

I was given a Rebel 2000 for Christmas in the year 2000. I also a have an EF 50mm 1:1.8 II lens that I bought a year or two later, with shockingly cheap build quality (plastic bayonet lol) but great glass. It still works great! I’ve tried many other SLRs since then. My all time favorites are the Pentax MX and Pentax ME Super. But honestly there was no reason not to stick with the humble Rebel 2k.

@Blackmind0 3 года назад

..when i started photographing the F1 C and the F3 N were too expensive for me , and now you can get them cheap..but they are great, i have 3 old Nikons... in use... greets BM🙂

@rainerbuesching1 Год назад

one cool fact about the Olympus OM-2: in automatic mode the light is metered just milliseconds before the shot: when the mirror flips up the lightmeter looks at the weird pattern on the shutter; you see the white rectangles are denser in the center, thus you get a little bit "centered" exposure now when you do a long time exposure and the ambient light suddenly changes? (never happened to me in decades of film and digital photography) now the lightmeter looks at the film and can adjust for sudden changes of brightness. --- Of cause, now you got a "balanced" exposure because the film emulsion does not reflect more light in the center of the frame. But absolutely high tech! On the OM-1 and OM-10 cameras I don't know this works the same way but if you find a way to lock the mirror up, and you see that weird pattern on the shutter curtain, your camera should definitely work the same.

@ChaChaDiaries 3 года назад

my first camera is my dad's canon eos 100 which is equivalent to the Elan from what I read. I remember using it when i was a kid and my parents would get mad when they get their prints with a random pic of a corner or a tree or something. i knew my dad brought it with him when we moved to seattle from the philippines and borrowed it so I can start taking film photos again and upto now I still use it from time to time. of course i ended up buying other film cameras after my first shooting with film again after a long time. still love the canon eos 100 and planning to buy a 50mm 1.8 STM for it coz my dad only had the kit lens for it.

@neilpiper9889 2 года назад

I had an Olympus om2n and miss it. My friend had a Minolta X700 and he loved it. He had a 24mm on his. My favourite camera is my Pentax Spotmatic SP with the 55mm f1.8 super Takumar lens. I have had it since the 1970s and all my 5 children have been taken with it. The best lens by far in every way, and I have Nikon, Olympus and also a Schneider 135mm 4.7 lens for my 1950s MPP Micropress 4x5. The Schneider is my equal favourite to my Pentax 55mm Super Takumar 1.8!

I had an OM but it was abused before I got it and light leaked into it. When I worked as an Army photographer I used two X-700 cameras. One was my personal one. The other was issued. I also used a Cannon AL1. With a 28-200 zoom and a 2x teleconverter. I used K-1000 as a back up in case the batteries dies on the X-700 , which happened on a photo shoot.

Recently got a canon elan 7s on ebay with the bp-300 battery pack :) super professional camera for under $500. I got the nifty fifty and the 17-40 l series lens :) first canon camera (pentax gang) and i am super excited taking it out soon once Southern California becomes cooler 👍👍

I thought it was funny when you said"you can get away with shooting a wedding on the EOS3". I shot probably 100 weddings on the EOS3 and EOS1 cameras. Amazingly dependable cameras.

From these i prefer the X-700 the most. Black, lightweight, complete , aperture priority, programmed automatic, TTL-flash-automatic. These are the six arguments for the X-700. Normally i use it on aperture priority because i take older Rokkors too and they are not designed for the P-automatic. But Minolta was a specialist for aperture priority cameras. My favourite lenses on the X-700 are the Rokkors 28mmf2.8, 35mmf2.8, 50mm f1.7 and f1.4, all suitable for landscapes and for streets.

Ricoh XR cameras are everywhere. You can find 'em in thrift stores and charity shops really easily. For good reason too. They're super sturdy, easy to use and reliable. Ricoh really honed the economy of design and manufacture of some of those cameras, and they use the Pentax K mount system so you can put some great lenses on them. They're much better for using on the move than many of the sexier high end SLRs, so they're better for street and field photography. I have a Canon A-1 but I use my Ricoh XR7 and XR10 Super a lot more often. They're cameras you could take to war.

F3 will forever be a dream for me. 😢 I don't own any film camera but I am so into film photog since the day that my friend in Manila has let me borrow her point and shoot camera. 🥺

I hope you found a Minolta X-570 in the past 2 years. I feel that the X-570 is better than the X-700 for a few reasons, not the least of which is the absence of the capacitor issue that is very common with the X-700 (the capacitor goes bad and the camera won’t work until it’s replaced). Replacing the capacitor in the 700 is pretty easy, but it’s still a process that takes a little time. Nice video sir.

The X-570 is probably the most underappreciated Minolta. People rave about the X-700 but the X-570 has a much better metered manual and with the motor drive attached, your arm doesn't end at your hand. Excellent choice!

@tomislavmiletic_ 3 года назад

Had the F2, great camera, but it's getting quite old. You'll hardly be able to fix it if something goes wrong. And there's not too much of them left, at least not in mint condition. For reasonable money. I'd suggest, get FM2 instead. Or FM3/A if you have money to burn 😉

@legionchef 3 года назад

Tomislav Miletić I respectfully disagree, on eBay you can buy working F2A’s for around £100. FM2N’s are great, they are just a bit small. Admittedly the mechanical side of the F2 can be repaired/maintained potentially forever, I must admit that the meters are a huge weakness, and the FM2N wins in that regard. If you’re happy with the FM2N, and it works well, then good for you!! Keep on shooting!

@tomislavmiletic_ 3 года назад

@@legionchef Well it seems this matter depends of the area you are living in. It's almost impossible to find good (if any) photo mechanic in the city I'm living in nor in surrounding area, official service for Nikon (which exists here) won't even bother with any pre-digital Nikon camera. So if you have to rely on the camera that will keep on ticking, FM2 or FM3/A are much safer bet, being simply newer cameras, despite being several times more expensive...
