First red flag is no Google my business. They don't want you to write reviews. I order the Nikon f3 at very good status. The camera was literally missing pieces and the main shutter button doesn't work.
I rated 5 stars so my review didn't get squashed.
Spare yourself and gamble on eBay for way cheaper and higher quality
My response to them saying shipping caused the problem.
Oh no the camera was packaged fine, the damage on the camera 100% didn't happen during shipping.
Also, the "happened during shipping" excuse doesn't work bc it's actually missing parts.
Did the missing part fall out of the tightly wrapped bubble wrap?? Please let me know how the missing piece was damaged during shipping????
Also the main shutter doesn't work. Which is crazy for a "Very Good" camera. Only the manual release works.
For real, what the actual heck???
Do you actually have a really good version in stock? That has been tested to work and has all the parts.
Please spare me on the "happened during shipping" story. If you send someone something not to the specs of what they ordered that is just wrong. So so wrong.
The camera is a TANK. In good working condition few scratches on bottom plates. (I brought with the VERY GOOD option)
Three things that’s a disappointment,
1. The camera was not cleaned, it was full of dust(exterior)
2. The focus screen had fungus trapped in it.
3. The light seal wasn’t replaced, for a refurbished camera, the light seal was pretty much worn out.
But for a camera worth 700, it would be better at least if the focus screen and light seal were replaced.
Good thing, cute camera gave me expired shipping without extra cost.
When I got it, I simply had to put a roll in and start shooting making sure everything work properly. I notice a burnt image on the mirror but had no effect with the quality of the picture, just something I'm seen when I look through the eye piece. I saw many videos on YouTube about it before getting it to make sure I can get the most out of the camera played around with all the settings. Double exposure going to definitely be my favorite. I used the lense it came with took amazing pictures.
I dove head first into film photography and bought the Nikon F3 35mm film camera as my first camera. I was able to set up and use the camera relying solely on a couple Youtube videos and websites with easy step-by-step directions. I encourage anyone that is interested in film photography to give it a try, it is not intimidating as it seems.
i bought the Nikon F3 in good condition and i am loving it so much. it’s fully functioning and is actually in really good quality, especially considering it’s an older camera. incredible!! everything is functioning perfectly, i’ve had no problems and i’ve been experimenting with the camera for a while now, so if there were problems i’d have stumbled upon them by now.
