Nikon F-301

[Nero]

So apparently my girlfriend has had this old camera for years and I didn't know until today. Once I can figure out how to open the film door I might try this out.

Yeah, why not? Provided that you will be able to find a 35mm black'n'white, color negative or color slide film by that day...

Pull up on the film rewind knob, and the back will spring open

If there is film already in it that'll be interesting...

 

[DraganDL]

Of course, first opening should be attempted in the darkness...

Take the lense cap off, press the shutter release, and look at the LCD screen....oh no...wait! Nevermind!:very_drunk:

I probably sound like an idiot not knowing how to open a film camera. Lol

No need for that, there's a window on the back cover, showing if there's a film in there or not ....

Not if your only used to using a digital camera, I have the instruction manual on a PDF file if you need it

I have just bought one of these this very morning. Price? £29! It is just about perfect condition with a couple of minor scratches on the prism surround. Spent the day shooting around Manchester with my AI trio of lenses - 50mm F1.4, 35mm F2 and 135mm F2.8 and a roll of Kodak Ektar 100.

Looking forward to seeing the results.

Only just noticed this thread. I scored one of these on ebay yesterday. Hopefully it all works fine, so I'll shoot a few rolls. Either way a nice addition to the collection

What kind of post processing did you do to get that effect?

The F-301 was sold in the USA as the N2000. I owned its close kin N2020 (aka the F-501 elsewhere in the world) and probably shot over 30,000 frames with it over 25 Years without a single hitch. An excellent and super reliable Nikon body.

Just Photoshop. Image was taken wide open with my 50mm F1.4 and then in PS channel mixer to monochrome and finally curves.
