f4

Not bad but I think mine might be a little faulty, I got a line/dark-band through some shots, maybe a sticky shutter? Nice camera to have to demonstrate the evolution of camera design but I think I'll leave mine on the shelf. My F100 is definitely the better general use AF film Nikon in all...

An interesting focal range for sure. It won't rate at DxO but I find its performance very good. Especially considering its attributes. I really enjoyed the 20-40 and while I initially missed the idea of having F2.8, I can see this being more useful and convenient.

Picked up a Nikon F4 a few months back and now I'm keen to run a roll through it. View-finder is missing the rubber ring on the eye-piece - those actually seem pretty rare and pricey. But I'd be happy with a DK-2 (also seemingly rare and pricey). DK-19's seem to have cheaper off-brand options -...

Nothing really special but after the trouble figuring out how to run it :) Used the 50/1.4 AF & 20/2.8 AF-D. I will note that getting used to it's metering will take a wee bit.

I am thinking of switching from the F2.8 40-150 Pro to the F4 40-150 Pro I am well aware of the negatives i.e. no support for converters and poorer lower light performance (and I have the MC20 and MC14) I am feeling compelled because of the smaller size and weight. One of the reasons I...

A couple of days ago my G’Daughter sent me a message enquiring whether I still had my film cameras. My wife has wanted me to cut down on the number of cameras I own, so I said yes I had a couple she could have, and duly sent her images of my F3 and F4. After researching she decided she would...

Anyone got any views on these two lenses? The 70-300 seems to get very mixed reviews which leads me to conclude there's a lot of copy variation. The 70-200 looks a better option, but it's more pricey of course and only goes to 200mm without the TC.

Couldn’t see a showcase thread for this new lens from OMDS, so thought I’d start one. Got my copy this morning. Can’t believe how small this thing is. Goes well on the Pen F as well as the larger EM1. Handles very well, and appears to be nice and sharp. A couple of quick and dirty snaps of my...

I had a dilemma whether I should buy this lens, or a 28-105mm Nikkor! This 70-210mm won, only because I already have a 28-85mm! So far, I like it! Panorama

On Monday morning I saw a pair of foxes lazing in the sun at the bottom of my garden and managed to get four images before one noticed I was watching. I was about 60 feet away and behind doubled glazed doors and absolutely still so how it sensed my presence is a mystery.

Noticed some of these going cheap on Evilbay. Anyone tried one? Any good? Or are they garbage? I read that they are similar to the Laowa 15mm f4 Macros but without the Shift capability.

Not that this is a deal breaker, I don't plan to shoot long very much at all. I have the 14-30 S and the 50 1.8 S and I can go with that for a while. Anyone else having issues with Tamron lenses. I have heard a few grumbles about incompatibility but maybe a firmware fix will do the trick. I...

Race point....

The flower is about 0.7" (18 mm) across, and growing on the stone wall at the rear of my cottage.
