It does not need shutter priority and program exposure. It is enough to have an aperture priority for self-exposure. Although the metal curtain opening is only 1/2000 second, it is reliable, durable and accurate. F3 has the important functions required by professionals. But professional photographers pay more attention to the excellent quality and system expansion of F3. For example, the shutter of 1/4000 second is twice as fast as F3, and FA also has matrix metering and program exposure. The semi-professional Nikon FM2, FE2, and FA, which were born later than F3, surpassed F3 in some respects. "The top-line Pro SLR's of that era (Nikon & Canon), had many internal defenses with Military Spec electronics" (Gus Lazarri). The degree has reached the Nikon professional standard (military precision instrument standard). The titanium shutter is precisely controlled by quartz. The transmission mechanism consists of high-cost ball bearings. The fuselage is cast from sturdy aluminum alloy. Other quality standards are unparalleled. After many years, it turns out that the reliability of F3 is not worse than F2, because Nikon uses the highest quality electronic components and the most rigorous assembly process. When F3 first came out, many traditional photographers expressed doubts about its electronic system, fearing it was not as reliable as purely mechanical F2. F3 is still the king of film cameras today! It is also more popular than the F4 because it is smaller and more portable than the F4. It is more popular than F2 because it has automatic exposure control. Today, 37 years later, film cameras have long given way to digital cameras, non-mainstream film camera users, when choosing a film camera in the second-hand market, F3 is still a hot item. The camera has already entered the digital age.
It was so good, reliable, strong and so popular that it became the longest professional camera ever produced, from 1980 until 2001 (21 years), when F4 (1988-1997) was discontinued and F5 has been produced for many years.
What is F3? It is the last top professional professional camera. It can be said that it is the pinnacle of film SLR cameras.Įach Nikon F series of professional cameras is classic: F opens a new era of 35mm SLR cameras, F2 is the emperor of mechanical cameras, F4 is the first professional autofocus camera. In the 1980s, Nikon F3 was a professional equipment for photographers and a dream for photography enthusiasts.
