Vintage 相機討論

Just found this Nikon 28Ti on someone's blog, I like the analog display on top, has anyone here used it before?

We can talk about ANY old camera here and share some experience. Personally, I found old cameras have more characters than newer DCs and they look sexier too. I have a Minolta SRT101 from my dad, I am still shooting my first roll of film with it, the light meter requires mercury batteries (which is banned long time ago) so I am shooting meterless, so I guess my first roll will be very crappy.

That isn't really a vintage yet wor ..

A neat "semi" "stupid camera " ( not offence world, but we call them SAW GAU GAY )

1994....15 years still not vintage? Do you have one? how is it?

and it is a pretty nice 傻瓜機 which let you pick exposure and it is equipped with a nikkor 28mm f2.8 len, and again, the analog display is cool.

(just check ebay, ppl are selling this for $700 USD)

The Nikon 28Ti and 35Ti have a cult following.  It got the coolest meter display of any P&S.  28Ti fetch good money on eBay.  No experience using it though.

Try WeinCell for mercury replacement.  i found it in kerrisdale camera before, but they don't stock much.  Better yet, get a handheld meter.

Thanks for your advise, I heard ppl said MR9 adapters also work, which one is better? How will they affect the accuracy of the meter?

If 15 yr old is vintage .. then my 630 ..  FM2 ..  some other gears are vintage too la..

It is a cool camera .... more or less for "display" purpose now .. won't really ues it ..  then I rather get an old Leica .... just me .. (but I guess I am the only ACTIVE LYK ..  already pass 30?   )

siumaibb

No, I think MANY of us here are over 30

so, the 28Ti is not any good except it got a cool analog display?

Apart from voltage, mercury battery has a very different discharge characteristic compare to alkaline battery.  Mercury batteries discharges very stably and die very abruptly at the end.  As alkaline batteries discharge, the voltage drops slowly and fades out.

WeinCell is alkaline too?
So what you mean is if I use an alkaline battery in my camera, the built in light meter will become inaccurate when the voltage drops after a period of time?

Given the price of the film SLR camera nowadays, it may be advisable to buy a new(er) film camera that uses alkaline ( eg LR44 ) than to mess with the mercury batteries or any pricy adaptors.
