GrumpyTim | Nikon F-501 / N2020 - 80s Icon Complete With Electrical Gremlins @GrumpyTim | Uploaded 7 months ago | Updated 6 hours ago
In this video we're taking a look at the 1980s Nikon F-501 also known as the Nikon N2020 in some countries. The sibling Nikon F-301 (aka Nikon N2000) will also make a few appearances as the cameras were largely identical, the F-501 just having the addition of autofocus and an additional program mode.
There were a few issues with electrical gremlins on all 4 examples that I've got my hands on, although many of these could have been avoided if old batteries hadn't been left to rot in the battery compartments.
I'll do a separate video looking at the shots taken on the F-501 using a roll of Kodak Vision 3 500T (tungsten balanced movie film), but there are a few examples at the end of this video.
