What is the best film slr with autowind and autofocus?
>>4337969The one in your pic paired with modern fast focusing L lenses, or the Nikon f6. The 1v focuses as fast and accurately or better than my 5dm3.
>>4337970okay, but lets say I don't want to spend $700 on the camera.
>>4337971Get a canon elan. It has the same af functionality as the 1v, but less af points and fancy features.
The Nikon F6 is the pinnacle. But the Nikon F90x/N90s is the affordable one to beat.
>>4337972The eos 5/a2 and elan ii can be found for not much more and would be better cameras just in terms of af speed, if nothing else. I have an eos 5 and 7 and love just taking the 5 about, nice little thing.
>>4337976EOS1V has it beat, and better lenses on EF mount.
>>4338007i strongly argue that no one honest to god needs all the 1v has to offer and would be just as happy with an eos 7 or an elan ii or something. Don't get me wrong, have the money, just want it and that'll make you happy? fuckin go to town, for sure, but for anyone who just wants a "good film camera" and thinks that top of the line is the way to get it, there are much more affordable options.That being said i am still looking for one on sale to snag one of these days kek. the GAS is real.
Nikon F100
>>4338020I'm in the process of selling all my GAS bought shit and just getting an EOS1V and a few L glass. This pro gear is consistent and tough. Everything else is cope.
>>4338023every gearfag goes through this cycle>burn it all, start over!its the perfect excuse to feel justified in buying more stuffyou just like buying stuff. you could probably take great photos with the camera you already had if you tried.
>>4338025I tried but I couldn't. So now I need L glass.
>>4338026No, you don't. It's just what you had before but a different flavor. You're never going to be a good photographer. You need something different. You need to stop gearfagging and become an artist.There's only one thing you can buy to do this.A hasselblad 501c. You will never need (or afford) another camera again.
>>4338023If you don't mind the bulky nature of the camera a 1v with some good lenses is probably the endgame 35mm camera/dslr. The AF is remarkably good, superb metering, and L lenses out resolve basically all film.
>>4338023SLR*
>>4338026You need to buy whatever the german shepherd poster has. His photos are great. I think it’s a calumet 4x5?
>>4338037Eh, I would only recommend getting a sinar P or P2 for autism grade studio work. If you're set on a monorail camera then a norma or F2 will suffice for almost all situations, and you can sort of carry one around in a backpack.The nice thing with sinar is that all the pieces from the norma, F,F2,P, and P2 are interchangeable, so if you decide on getting a P2 later on you can use everything from the F2 if you needed additional bellows extensions, monorail extensions, different format rear standards, compendium hoods, etc.It's the perfect monorail system, and a view camera offers up a lot of artistic flexibility that no other cameras really have, but you sacrifice an insane amount of convenience for it.[EXIF data available.

Pentax MZ-3 because it's as small as a manual slr.
>>4338027It's satire, man.
>>4338031I think the F6 has better metering and more AF points doesn't it?
>>4338049Modern full frame digital K mount lenses won't work with these sadly. The best EF and F mount lenses will work on a F6/EOS1V though.
>>43380571v has 45 af points compared to 11 on the f6. The metering is more advanced on the f6.I am still unsure if I would get an f6 or a 1v if I didn't already have 2 L lenses before getting the 1v. They are both undeniably excellent cameras.
>>4338071Ken says 51 points thohttps://kenrockwell.com/nikon/f6/af-settings.htm
>>4338068who cares its film
>>4338068>>4338079who cares the new lenses are worse anyways
>>4338082vibration reduction modern digital lens on 35mm is absolute kino actually and can outresolve most 120
Pentax 645N
>>4338007You can keep your sterile rendering Canon lenses and unergonomic bodies!
>>4338086Proofs? same film stock comparisons only.
>>4338057Yes.
But seriously folks, both the 1v and F6 are totally capable of pretty much anything you would need a camera to do.Yes, the 1v does have more focus points, and will shoot more frames per second. But how many people actually need these things? I don't.I personally find the Nikons to have better ergonomics, but you might not. I also prefer the rendering of my favorite Nikkors, but you may disagree.The only autofocus slrs I currently own are the F90x, D2x and D300s. The F90x is the fastest (and noisiest), but reliable. The D2x is the most consistant and reliable, having the focus system of the F6. The D300s has always been adequate.In the end though, I always prefer to use my select manual focus Nikkors not only for their rendering, but also because of the more tactile experience of using them, and the absolute control they afford in the focusing process.Using these manual lenses with my F2, FG and FM makes for an even better shooting experience. But you may prefer the automation. To each their own.
>>4338118nah the 1V with L glass is better sorry
>>4338086that's a bold statementnot that I disagree butproof?
>>4338124And I say that the F90x + optional J screen used with the unsurpassed Nikkor 50mm F2 Ai is the best!
>>4338135well then you are a poopy head
>>4338131>prove this subjective and unquantifiable statementClassic
>>4338145The exceptional slide images I make with this camera say otherwise.
>>4337969Canon’s design language has been so consistent that if they released a retro style camera, it would still look like a modern camera.

Nikon F5. neither the F6 nor the 1V can hold a candle to the F5.the F6 uses a pair of sissy ass batteries and the film back on mine flexed so much that the pressure rollers wouldn't make full contact with the film, causing wild frame spacing problems. the 1V meanwhile has a shitty plastic back, a plastic palm door to access custom functions, a plastic rewind fork and god knows what else, while its meter can't see in color.
>>4338086vibration reduction?in a k-mount lens?so, you're just going to use gimped Sigmas that have been out of production for years?
>>4338406learn to read
>>4337969Minolta A7. No doubts.
>>4338410?>>4338068
>>4338189>resolution is subjective
>>4338342It sounds like you are confusing the F6 for the F100.
>>4337969Behold, the ultimate film camera. Shutter speeds of up to 1/12000, 1/300 synchro with normal flashes and up to 1/8000 with Minolta flashes. Full metal body. Excellent center-weighted TTL metering. Fast, easy to use and intuitive controls, unlike its only real competitor, the EOS 1v. Continuous shooting at up to 5.5fps. Can use Snoy A mount lenses if you get one with the SSM board upgrade, but the Maxxum lenses from its era are also incredible thanks in part to Minolta obtaining a bunch of Leica tech as part of their joint development programs. Minolta solved film cameras in 1998.
>>4338582blergh
>>4338582I used to have a Maxxum and it broke, but now that I'm thinking of getting another AF SLR I'm thinking it has to be either canon or nikon because those are the only ones I can get with stabilized lenses. A stop or two of stabilization in low light would be awesome to have with film.
>>4338507>It sounds like you are confusing the F6 for the F100.nope. I never had an F100. the back on my F6 bowed and buckled with fingertip pressure. pressing down the screen was enough to temporarily fix the film spacing problem.
>>4338631The A9 can use stabilized lenses, thats what the SSM upgrade is.
>>4338692oh shit, can you give me a quick rundown on that? I was under the impression that there were no A-mount lenses with stabilization.
>>4338693Minolta and Snoy themselves never made any iirc, but there are several Sigma A mount lenses with in lens stabilization. You just have to have a Maxxum/Dynax/Alpha 9 which has the SSM board to make them work. Unfortunately since 2015 there's nobody around that actually does the upgrade anymore, so you have to make sure the one you buy already has it done.
Do blobbers really
>>4338704That's pretty neat. Thing is, the a9 with SSM is like $1k, so for a film SLR with stabilized lenses it'd be a lot more expensive than going with nikon for example
>>4338724Nah you can find them for around $300 on the reg on eBay or in actual camera stores. $1k is the absurdly inflated Keh or retarded "I know what I got" boomer price.
>>4338774then I'll consider it along the nikon and canon optionsthanks anon
>>4338704>>4338724Pointless to go Minolta if you want stablization. The tech started to hit around digital change over. And Sony had bought the company and put IS in the sensors for A mount, not the lens as Canon and Nikon did. 100% you would want to go Canon or Nikon if the goal is stabilized lens options on a film camera. From memory it's a 100mm Sigma Macro that works reliably on the A7. Even if there were stabilized options for A mount, SSM upgraded A9s are worse in most ways than A7 except for a sturdier body and higher shutter speed: 1/12000 vs 1/18000 iirc.
>>4338189This made me laugh like a retard for several seconds, so thanks.
