So I Picked a Nikon F3

    I've been interested in getting into some film photography for a while and I was between a Nikon F3 and a Pentax LX. In the end I picked up an F3 with Nikkor 1:2.8 28mm lens and 1:2.5 105mm lens for €350. Don't think I did too bad particularly as the prices seem to be rising all the time.

    I'm waiting on delivery so I thought I'd ask fellow F3 users if they'd have any particular advice on using them and what potential issues I should look out for. From what I've read they're a workhorse and pretty straightforward to use but I thought I'd ask all the same. Looking forward to messing with it!

    That's pretty good for that body and those two lenses. The 105 in particular is a stunning portrait lens. Plus if you're used to APS digital, the 100% 35mm viewfinder on the F3 is going to blow your mind. Enjoy :)

    Really? Am yet to look through one! I've analysed them to death. Was between an F3 or Pentax LX. The reliability of the LX was a bit of a concern.... But the F3 popped up first! ðŸ˜
