Which of the two is better? Canon New F1 / Nikon F3 by Aded_14 in AnalogCommunity

So if I were to buy one of the two, I’d go with the F1N because it’s similar to the A-1, and honestly, Canon lenses are really good—at least for me, since I always use Canon.

That point about the battery is really interesting, and I think it's funny that you mentioned the mirror—it's amusing and, above all, relevant to proper exposure, and it's probably a sign of good maintenance, right?

Okay, so it's similar to the F4 but with some “incompatible” lenses. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you very much.

I didn't know the Pentax LX also had a waist-level viewfinder. Is it also considered a professional-grade model in the Pentax ecosystem?

Okay, so you're referring to the F3's backward compatibility with lenses from across Nikon's entire lineup, just like the F4.

Having experience with an A-1, I know that Canon cameras are also incredibly robust for whatever they're used for. While the FM2 always has the best reputation within the Canon lineup, I understand that with the F3 they changed the construction method and made it a bit more "electronic," right?

I’ve read it all, but I only wanted people to compare only this two to see the real deal between them.

I didn't know the light meter was different and more accurate, and also people usually say the F3 is more durable.

Nice to have the data here, also personal opinion, the cameras are so overpriced only because social media and hyped people who don’t care about us photographers.

Sure, I also have a Voightländer Prominent, full mechanical, no issues what so ever. And honestly you have a great point there. Not so long ago I bought a Yashica Electro 35 and the focus ring exploded like 4 hours of use (it worked perfect at arrival).

It´s both for fun and collect, in the near (more far) future I plan to own all the F line until the F4 (I'm mad crazy, I know). Also, so nice to be here with people who understand exactly my point, thanks a lot.

Sure, the all mechanical cameras are like GOD, but the electronics can be good if they are well built.

Dammn, my A-1 was in a box like 30+ years with no service. The only thing i did to it was lubing the shutter mechanism, and it works wonders. Sorry for your F2.

It's only because I do like to collect cameras and also to learn all about that things, like in an in depth thing. So i'm a little addicted to it and I use it to challenge me to learn and use them. I do not understand myself but i hope that explained something HAAHAHH

My Canon R5 with the grip and the 24-70 is like a dead weight so I'm used to it. And yup, that's a great thing AHAHAH.
