philippines!

minsan pag idle ako sa labas pinang b-bicep curl ko tong camera na to

I got a Nikon F2 black body and it got the 2 parts motor drives and a special meter head which fit on the left side of the camera and I need to get the camera fixed and get a meter head for it then I can sale the whole lot from £300 to as much as £500 and I paid only £10.00 for all of them from a camera shop in London in 2023

Wonderful video Paolo, I have a couple of F2's and love them dearly, their weight and 1970's industrial design give them enormous charm and are a delight to use and even just handle. Your video was a marvellous walk down memory lane for me. I spent a day in Manila's Intramuros with my Filipino wife exploring and soaking up the history of this place. It left an indelible mark on my soul. Especially the war memorial.

I have to call you out, man. But I hate doing this- yet bc the internet is an open forum for accurate information here we go… Why go in a diatribe aimlessly pointing out the film’s capabilities on the data sheet and then show photos that look like dog poo (underexposed by accident) and say they look “dope”. Again you showed your amateurism as an influencer by stating you over expose ALL FILM by 1 stop. How does this make sense? It’s like saying I overexpose all camera sensors by a stop. As a photographer shouldn’t you look a characteristics within the scene (shadows, mid tones, highlights) and expose one of those 3 options by your guideline. Wouldn’t that give you more control based off what you compose in the frame. Maybe I’m Knick picking, but I do want you and your audience to get better. +1 and pray is not going to accomplish that for anyone. 😢

It seems to me that anyone on RUclips who likes mechanical cameras HAS to make the claim that being non-electronic and reliant on batteries is such a relief of such a huge burden. I for one am quite tired of such nonsense. I support my point of view with a couple of salient facts. One, is it really a burden to carry one or two SR44 batteries? How is this even worth mentioning? If you are on a "mission" to capture images with this or any other camera, you plan in advance and bring a couple of spare batteries! This is less than the weight and volume of pocket change. What happens when you run out of film? You make sure to bring a spare roll. What do you do with digital when your card fills up? You make sure to bring a spare memory card. Why are batteries for these cameras any different? Two, much has been made about the frailty of early electronics and how prone they are to failure. Funny but not anyone who I have read or heard to make this claim has been able to say they have direct experience with this. I have over 2 dozen vintage film cameras, from mechanical manual focus to some of the last autofocus film bodies made (Canon and Nikon). I have had these for years and not had one failure due to faulty electronics. Can and will it happen? Given enough time, absolutely. But it hasn't happened yet, and I don't expect it for some time. The rate of failure is not anywhere near the level of hype it receives. However, if you believe this claim and buy into it, you definitely miss out on experiencing some truly great cameras systems. Also, I believe you have the F2 Photomic which is what I have. I really like the exposure display as well and definitely prefer it over the later SPD prisms. Our prism uses older CDS (Cadmium Sulfide) metering technology, but has that better display. Happy shooting!

Why do all photography RUclipsrs have the most intrusive background music?

Katuwa ang gaganda ng mga kuha mo Sir 👏 Problema ko foam light seals need ko set saan kaya meron mabibilhan?

Great vid, nice to see the channel shout outs too. I just want to mention Jules Vuoto's photo focus, and Brian's photo show - two of the best channels with super interesting and in depth content about classic Nikon gear. Cheers, keep enjoying your F2, I love mine; I shoot it alongside an F and they are both just sublime.

If you think it's a brick, why bother. Shoot something else. Didn't even watch past your silly comment.

Kakatakot madulas. Ang bigat pa naman ng camera

I've got the f2 it's my pride and joy but I'd be lying if I said that red stripe on the f3 wasn't calling to me

It seems to me that shooting film in 2022 does not fit well with the modern mood of instant everything. Lack of patience, overwhelming desire to experience everything in one moment, no desire to wait, dominates modern thought. Secondly, the digital camera of today where nearly everything is automatically controlled takes away from the thought process of selecting the right focus and aperture, shutter speed, and ISO for the scene. Even the idea of using a stills camera to make movies is so foreign to the old school ways of making photographs with a camera and filming movies on a set with an entirely different kind of camera.

Liked your historical perspective on the beginnings of the Nikon F. I was around at that time and realized that the slr was a definite improvement over the rangefinder system in a variety of ways. The RF was limited in range of lens choices to somewhere between about 28mm and 100mm since the parallax issues and focus issues made it impractical at either extreme. The new through the lens exposure measurements in the slr was also superior because it only measured what the lens saw no matter what lens was installed. As time went on, the choices of longer and wider lenses opened up new photographic possibilities. The big advantage of the rangefinder system was smaller and lighter cameras and the closeness of the lens to the film plane produced sharper images. The new mirrorless cameras have returned that advantage to photography since the mirror box and vibration issues have been eliminated while retaining all the advantages of thru the lens exposure control, smaller size and weight and now electronic shutters. The F2 is the happy point in Nikon history where the last best all mechanical slr was offered. The only use of the battery is to feed the exposure meter. It is a small improvement over the F otherwise with a hinged back, 1/2000th shutter speed option, and a better choice of meters that bridge the ability to use non Ai as well as Ai and AiS lenses.

Good vid. Some great shots at the end. Have used F2s forever ……… they just work…… industrial design classics …… especially with pre-Ai lenses. The 35mm f 3.5 is a peach.

When you said “carrying a brick” HAHSHAHA I can really relate, I carry a Nikon F2AS with an eyepiece magnifier (for accurate focusing) and I tell you IT. IS. HEAVY. (prolly because of the DP-12 viewfinder but its my main camera soooo)

so beautiful!

gusto ko po talagang maging tulad mo kapag laki ko 🙌🏻 lodi 5ever!

Sir apakan niyo po ako

Ang ganda🥺🥺💜💜

Super good!

I really admire your work and dedication <3 keep it up!

Beautifully made. Admire those who hike with an F2

Well executed, good job! Cool shots as well

breathtakingly beautiful 😍😍😍

Amazing shots po! Definitely a fan 🙌🏻

Must say... terrific review! Great insight Nicely done... spread the word! F2 is boss!

I have an all black Nikon F2 with Nikkor 50mm sc 1.4 and Nikkor 105 p auto f2.5 lenses. Perfect outfit. Camera is from 1972

Lol that intro! I woke up this morning and thought about taking my pentax k1000 with me on jogs so I could get in shape and take spontaneous photos but first, coffee and a video. And here we are, YOU READ MY MIND

This is a beautifully made video. Thanks for the hard work that went into it.

Nakakabudol. Send GCash for Ektachrome 🥺🤘🏼

Add to cart- Ektachrome😂😂 ang vibrant ng colors po! 😍

Maganda po ba jan sa bolinao sir…….

Hello sir! San ka naka score ng a35ml at hm po?

Sahod, yes please 😬

Awesome job! Did you try to expose perfectly for 100 iso or allow slight over exposure?

🔥

💯💯💯💯

<3

FIRST!! 🥺💖 TAGAL KO HININTAY TOOOO 🥳🥳🥳

Great video

Meh.

A brick? Back then over four decades ago, I carried F2A + MD + BP + 70-200 f/2.8 + Metz hammerhead flash + external lead acid battery pack and a backup SLR.

sadly this is way beyond my current budget, but I wanna f2 with dp-12 in near future

Just ordered the F2 from Ebay

...die Nikon F2 Serie hat Geschichte geschrieben und ist eine Ikone--ich hatte auch die F3 und F5 aber keine war wie sie...

I also have a Nikon S2 and F2.

It’s funny cause I came mostly for the geek part ;) thank you very much for this video 👌

Kodak gold 200 shooter here 😁 mura e!

Great video young man. Keep up the good work.
