People are surprised that the F3 is a really good camera. Keep in mind that in the 80s the F3 was the workhorse choice for professional photographers everywhere, and for good reason.

This will make you sad.  Your experience at KEH is the way every good camera store used to be.  Buying a camera was a different experience back in the day.  Congratulations, and thanks for the great video!  I love your pictures, by the way.

Even though you were in Atlanta, those shots in the park had a real Central Park NYC vibe to them.

Walks into KEH on a whim and walks out with one if the best 35mm SLR cameras ever made.  LOL

The notches on the top left of the frame (horizontal shots) indicate to me that your camera has seen pro use in its life. Usually these were put there to let the photo dept know which photographer to credit or which camera to service if there were problems with the images by the different patterns on the edge of the frame. I have two F3s, great camera. Remember some spare batteries.

I’m in your video!! I found you randomly in my recommended and just happened to watch this and I saw myself 😂 small world indeed. Your work is amazing and I’m a huge (new) fan.

but seriously the cam kirk video montage, the photos of Brooklen, chefs kiss. great video of a great time Taylor.

You have a well cared for pro camera. The four notches indicate it was the 4th camera for whoever previously owed it. We use to do that 'back in the day' so if one body failed we would quickly know which one needed to go in for repair. I used F3 cameras for years as a photojournalist. Have fun with it!

The whole section of you tooling around the city and shooting is fantastic. It felt calming to watch. I know how much effort goes into filming yourself shooting like that, and it just came across like a lovely day with some great shots.

Hope you're doing well 😊

Nice meeting you during the meet! Great video as always!!

Beautiful camera, and your copy looks like new! Very nice!

I'm thankful that the new generation of photographers have an option to make exposure decisions themselves,  and not have to scroll a screen menu !! I bought my F3 before digital and still have it. I've never had any problems with the camera body.  The camera is precise and well built, but I've never abused it. Long live the F3 !!!

One of the things I love about the F3 is the sheer volume of accessories available. Shooting waist level with the viewfinder off is good, but Nikon made a waist level finder for some extra magnification and dust protection. I also bought a Type E focusing screen that I adore. Really easy to personalize it to make it the ultimate shooting experience.

Yesss so beautiful. And congrats on the new camera.🌸✨

A camera that feels so natural to you is truly the best. Loved the walking section🫶🏽and the photos of just people enjoying their day

Superb camera.

your vids are great, extremely soothing and calming

I’ve had my F3 since 85, it’s been a great camera. Still shoot it regularly

Really nice video.  Thanks for taking us on your photo journey and reminding us why we love photography.

Lovely images and a great soundtrack! Makes all the difference ❤
