Nikon F, a classic machine, has been producing from 1959 to 1974, during which more than 800,000 large F cameras were manufactured, which shows its recognition in the market. Until today, there are still a large number of Nikon F in the market, which is also convenient for many movie lovers to buy and collect.
Big F not only has excellent mechanical properties, but also excellent quality. Yes, this is the legendary camera that can stop bullets.
Nikon F can replace many viewfinders, resulting in a variety of models. Different models only have different viewfinders, and the functions of the fuselage are the same.
Nikon f: f spire viewfinder does not measure light, so it can only take pictures. It is also the simplest and most classic viewfinder.
Nikon F Photon: 1962, with Cds metering.
Nikon F Photon T: 1965, TTL photometry, pointer tracking display, average photometry.
Nikon F Photomic TN:1967 introduced an improved version of Photonic T, in which the metering mode was changed to central key weighted average metering.
Nikon F Photonic FTN: introduced in 1968, the last model of the big F series. Maximum aperture indicator, shutter speed visible in viewfinder.
The most valuable collection is the black paint on the spire and the fully mechanical shutter without metering at the top. If properly maintained, it can basically accompany us for a lifetime.
Usually, it is recommended to buy a silver tower or FTN. Big F is a cost-effective machine with a good face value.

Ask me which film SLR camera I like best, and I will tell you without hesitation-F2.
When F2 went on the market, it was 197 1. In fact, it was an improved version of Big F, with basically similar functions and similar dial layout style. It is also a fully mechanical camera, except that the highest shutter speed of F2 is 1/2000s. The corners are also more rounded and feel better. It is called God of War because this camera will never break down as long as you use it properly, and the shutter reliability is perfect!
F2 also has many models, just like the big F, but the viewfinder is different. What I see in the picture are my favorite two models, which are also relatively cost-effective.
F2: the most common version of photometry, DP- 1 photometry viewfinder. The metering mode is central weighted average, and the shutter speed, aperture and metering pointer can be displayed in the viewfinder.
F2S: equipped with DP-2 photometric viewfinder, replacing the original pointer with LED, which can increase DS- 1 for automatic exposure with shutter priority.
These two models are suitable for car lens users to choose, and the AI lens will basically choose F2A and f2a. F2 also has a steeple and a matte version, which is very suitable for all mechanical enthusiasts to collect. Later, we also produced a very rare limited edition of F2H Expressway continuous shooting Olympic Games and a limited edition of F2 Titan Titanium Alloy, both of which are expensive collections.
When you hold this F2 in your hand, the sense of weight and exquisiteness will make you feel at ease. It's all mechanical design, so you don't have to worry about power failure anymore. You just need to focus on shooting and let you cross the mountains and rivers. F2 is your faithful partner.

Speaking of the name Nikon F3, everyone who plays film knows it. It is a very easy to use and stable film SLR camera.
Nikon F3 is the longest film SLR camera in Nikon's history. 1980 was officially released, and it was completely discontinued in 2002, which also shows its excellent sales and high market recognition.
The most worthwhile F3 is F3hp, which is an improved version of F3 introduced by Nikon 1982. The high eye point design of HP viewfinder makes it easier to find and focus, and it has been widely praised since its launch.

The new Canon F- 1 was launched on 198 1, which is an upgraded model of the old F- 1 and positioned as a professional 135 SLR camera.
The new F- 1 adopts a replaceable focusing screen, and the metering mode is changed by multi-segment metering elements. The camera has also added the most advanced AE system to optimize the operation. There are also many viewfinders to choose from to meet the needs of non-photographic environments.
The launch of the new F- 1 is to fight against Nikon F3 at the same time, and the workmanship and materials are also cost-free. The new F- 1 is much thicker than Nikon F3. In terms of shutter design, the new F- 1 is also better. The mechanical shutter speed of F3 without battery is only 1/80 seconds, while the new Canon product F- 1 uses a hybrid shutter, and the mechanical shutter speed ranges from1125 to 1/2000 seconds. Electronic shutter from 8 seconds to 1/60 seconds. Even if there is no electricity, you can use it safely. This design greatly facilitates the use under extreme conditions. Although it is so strong, the sales volume still can't surpass F3.
I often see many netizens hype AE- 1, the so-called network celebrity machine. I really don't understand. Instead of spending a lot of money on AE- 1, buy a durable new F- 1 or an old F- 1. The performance and workmanship of the two machines are simply incomparable.
The new F- 1 is a very good creative weapon. You will feel very stable when you hold it in your hand, and your hand feels very stable. Friends who collect and control can also buy an electric membrane handle, which is very domineering, but the battery weight is a bit touching. It can be said that you exercise while taking pictures.

Speaking of F4, I really love and hate it.
F4 was released on 1988 and discontinued on 1996. There are three models, the difference is only in the handle. Best of all, F4S has MB-2 1 6 batteries. Followed by MB-20 and F4 of 4 batteries, which is also the smallest; The biggest one is F4E with MB-23 and 6 batteries, and the handle is more powerful.
The exterior design of F4 comes from Porsche designers, with strong lines and comfortable grip. Even now, it is still beautiful. More powerful, equipped with electromagnetic shutter with built-in balancer, the shutter speed is increased to 1/8000 s, metering, central focusing, matrix metering, and a variety of viewfinder options to meet different needs. Nikon also designed as many as 13 focusing screens for F4, including a very classic K-shaped focusing screen, which makes F4 use manual lenses perfectly. At that time, F4 sold well, and it was hard to find a machine in Europe and America, so it took a long time to book the machine.
Up to now, F4 was mostly ignored in the film camera market in the Middle Ages, and the price was very cheap. Because the viewfinder leaks light, it affects the experience. In addition, many people who like manual focusing choose a purer F3, while those who like automatic focusing choose a more advanced and portable F 100, but this does not prevent F4 from becoming a good machine worth playing.

F5 was listed on 1996 and positioned as a professional flagship. Compared with the previous generation F4, F5 has made an essential breakthrough, which is also my favorite one in Nikon automatic film SLR.
F5 is very modern, the overall appearance is very close to the current digital SLR camera, eliminating the cumbersome wheel and adopting multi-function buttons, which was a very avant-garde design at that time. The LCD shoulder screen displays data and various information. Compared with the previous generation F4, it has made great progress in focusing and photometry. F5 photometry adopts 3D-RGB color matrix photometry, and uses color and light to photometry in 3D space. Auto focus adopts CAM 1300 system, and cross 5-point auto multi-point focus.
F5 also continues the tradition of F series detachable viewfinders, and Nikon designed four viewfinders for it. The aperture peephole of the manual lens is reserved in the viewfinder as standard. This design is very user-friendly and is the gospel of manual lens users. F5 also has 14 model for focusing screen selection, which can meet various use requirements. Although F5 can rewind the tape automatically, it still retains the manual rewind handle. Maybe that's the feeling.
When it comes to the control experience, F5 has nothing to say. The key point is to be steady and unrelenting. Although F5 has an integrated handle, I think it is a big machine. In fact, F5 is not big at all, it is very small, which is a big circle smaller than d5 and 1dx we use now. If you want a film camera with accurate and fast autofocus and stable and reliable film production, F5 is your ideal choice.
Nikon also has an F6. Although this machine is good, it is expensive and not suitable for entry. Of course, local tyrants are free.

It looks like a digital appearance, with a retro heart hidden inside. This is Canon's strongest automatic film SLR camera EOS1V.
Locate the 1 series and you will know that this is not a simple camera. No matter from the production process or hardware configuration, it was second to none at that time.
Lightweight and high-precision fuselage-the exterior of the fuselage body, the top cover and front panel, and the pb-e2 handle are all made of magnesium alloy; The reflector box is made of cast aluminum; The internal frame is made of cast aluminum and reinforced glass fiber carbonized resin. In addition, the seams and buttons of the fuselage are waterproof, durable and high precision, which are all satisfied.
Tough 45-point autofocus-this is really tough and really means where to play. 45-point autofocus covers a large area of the screen, and the focus can be selected manually or automatically. Even if the subject is not in the center of the picture, it can focus accurately and quickly, which greatly improves the shooting efficiency.
Six metering modes-21area evaluation light, partial metering, spot metering, focus linkage metering, multipoint metering and central key average metering. It can basically meet your metering needs in any scene.
Shutter life is as high as 654.38+0.5 million times-65,438+0V shutter blades are made of carbide brazing and super Dura aluminum. The shutter front curtain and Hou Lian are controlled by a non-contact rotating magnet, which will not stick together after long-term use. The durability and reliability are greatly improved, and the shutter sound is also very pleasant, which can be described as pleasant. It is by no means better than the shutter sound energy in the present mirrorless camera.
Although the Modern Times of film has passed, this 1V has become the swan song of Canon film era, but the classic will never be eliminated, and 1V has also become an indispensable boutique in many fans' collection cabinets.
Buy Canon 1 series films. Try not to buy eos 1 or1n. These two kinds of shutters are prone to electromagnetic failure and BC problems. If the budget is limited, you can buy 1nrs, which is also a very good machine.
