I know, its kind of crazy! :)

hi :) sorry cant understand hehe. Thank you for commenting though!

Thank you so much ! :D

Thank you :) yes its not a lens for the clinical sharp images kind of photographer.

:D

Thank you! Haha, yeh i was looking around before i started and thought to myself, i ned something to hold my mic! That is awesome, im actually a bit keen on the Pentax 17, looks really nice and from what i have heard its supposed to be surprisingly good and the lens quite sharp :) I dont like the price of it hehe, but that is only because i have too many cameras and do not really need another one, and if it was cheaper i would most likely buy it anyhow :) It looks like a lot of fun, seems like the perfect travel companion . /regards Martin.

@@martinandreasson5504 Yes, it’s definitely on the more expensive side, and you’ll probably know which kind of quality you can expect from half-frame. For me it is my first half-frame film camera I’ve ever owned (and used!), and it’s a lot of fun.

Thank you so much Matte! :)

That IS weird! Maybe you can "reinstall" the software or latest firmware and it will show? You might have an older firmware. regards martin.

@@martinandreasson5504 thank you , brought the camera after your review ✌🏻

@@youaintseenmeok Thats awesome , really hope you will be happy with it as i have been :)

Thank you so much :) Love Pentax cameras and have shot with several film Pentax over the years. Also always been interested in how their digital bodies are like. Had a lady friend always shooting Pentax at photography school swearing by them. I Used to have my Auto ISO button fixed to a Fn button on the front if i recall correctly. S pretty sure that is possible :) That is awesome, if you still have the old Nikkors or any other F mount lenses the Df would seem like a very nice transition into the system :D /regards Martin.

@@martinandreasson5504 Thank you so much for your reply, Martin. I really appreciate your help. I will look up into the Df as it's a camera that really seems interesting and my kind of tool. Cheers!

@@thebestoffools No worries :) good luck now and i hope if you ever decide to get it that you will like it as much as i have and te images you make with it, which is after all the most important thing!

Thank you for your kind words and so glad you enjoyed watching it! :) Regards Martin.

Yeh, i think i will some day for sure :)

If you really like the sensor in your D4 and want a smaller package but not too worried about the af speed or less ergonomic body( although less weight! ), id really consider it :) I still have the D4 for when i need it and cant see myself getting rid of that until it breaks down. Hopefully it will soldier on a while longer.

Thank you. Eventually I will have to find lighter alternatives, I guess - a D4 and the "holy trinity" of 2,8's are quite heavy to carry the whole day - and I consider taking my old non-zoom lenses out of the cupboard instead. I tried the Zf during a presentation by Matthias Klum today, and that camera really needs a better grip. So the D4 stays for a while.

@@Megadad60 hehe yeh, the D4 is a beast with the bigger lenses. I dont have all my F lenses left, but i kept the 24m f1m4 G, the 58 G, the 70-200 and the 105mm f1,4. All i need really, sometimes miss the 24-70 but they are so cheap now so might get that one back at some point. But yeh, it becomes heavy with all those except maybe the 58mm . The d4 is a great camera, but its nice to have a backup thats lighter i find. The Zf is a really good camera, love min, but i wont put any of the bigger F lenses on it. feels unbalanced and i hate the way it tooks too. So i only use the lighter Z SE lenses ( 28mm and 40mm ) and for those its perfect, but also to adapt vintage lenses its so much fun and works so well. So if you want the F lenses with a smaller body i think the Df must be the best bet out there :), especially if you like the look of it and that magical sensor sauce ;)

Thank you :) The Df is one of a kind. Having bought the Zf i can still say the Df has and always will have a special place in my heart. If one can live with the Dfs shortcomings and has needs for the strengths of the Df there is no other camera out there with the same capabilities for me. And as you say the 16 Mp files are incredible, and even at high ISO the images never look off, just if anything organic and analog :)

Hello Christian and Thank you so much :) I think the Zf for me at least have really ended up somewhere in the same spot when it comes to filling that digital/analog void between analog and digital cameras for me. Similar to the Df for me. Although to be fair the Zf looks better and feels more modern. The sensor i the Df is still my favorite, but the other tools you get with the Zf kind of nullifies that edge . And speaking of the VL 40mm it makes the Zf an even better candidate for that spot. Just wish Nikon had their own, and still wishing they will in the future , make a Nikkor lens with that nice aperture ring and nice feel like the old styled lenses had. Fingers crossed! About the DX mode, im not using any DX lenses myself, and just making a quick search i see many saying that the Zf adjust when you put a DX lens on, but dont take my word for it having that mode you speak of. But im betting it does :) I hope that it does and you in the end get the Zf, its a wonderful camera, although with some quirks like all cameras. Going to make some sort of review on it after even more time with it. Have some more lens testing to do, and also puting it through some more shooting situations before i have the best overall view of this camera. Regards Martin.

Thanks for your reply Martin. I wasn’t sure if you still read emails so long after the video. I look forward to watching your future artistic videos. Subbed.

@@christianpetersen1782 Thank you too! :)

Hello! Hmm, good question! It just might but not totally sure to be honest. Personally i would not worry about it and probably buy one if the price is right. You could always just put some good tape over that opening or such to protect it, but otherwise its so well built in other parts so if not in a downpour i would not worry too much anyhow :) Good luck in your decision making! /regards Martin.

Hey :) yes indeed, had it twice and loved it. I could still have one today to be honest if it were not because i have too much as it is. Also i try to use less heavy cameras as much as possible and the D700 was on the heavier side at times, especially now with a bad back :P Otherwise, one of my favorite cameras over the years for sure.

@@martinandreasson5504 would you say image quality is comparable with the DF? Df is still quite expensive.

Haha thank you, yes i know! i realized afterwards and did not really think of it before i sat down ;)

Thank you so much for you kind comments :) And thanks a lot for taking the time to watch! Regards Martin.

Thank you again! Both for watching and enjoying it but that you feel its also worth it to keep watching later :D Regards Martin.

Hey ! Thanks a lot for your kind comment first of all :) I never tried the Lx7 actually, but you might very well be on to something there. Thats the case with many cameras and lenses i feel that are newer. The quest for companies back the was after all to produce a lens and camera combo that felt as modern as possible and with sharp and truth to life tones etc. Unfortunately for us liking character and a film look does not hehe. So the newer the lens and camera that is the case it seems. Im on the hunt for another LX5 now actually as i feel at least that camera met my demends when it comes to character etc. But still the Lx3 is even more special :) /regards Martin.

Hi, sorry for not getting back sooner with a reply! I agree with that the winder was a bit harder than normal actually. Not that it was a huge problem on mine. Just noticed it was a bit tighter for sure :) I have since sold my beloved RTS 2, wish i still had it though, was an amazing camera to shoot and the lenses were great too! regards Martin.

Thanks for the reply Martin, that reassured me about my contax. See you

@@user-pv8fq5rs3i Thank you :D

​@@martinandreasson5504 why did you sell it? No good? 😮

@@dacookieman_ No, it was one of my favorite cameras to use and handle to be honest....i had to sell it for financial reasons :( And it was in such good conditions so i find it hard to get a new one not as mint as the one i had ! But i keep a look out again, loved that camera and lenses :)

Thank you! :) great to hear you also have one! Regards Martin.

Im using Urth adapter and K&F adapter :)

Yeh, i did sell my Df after i bought my Nikon Zf, but still have the combo you mentioned , the D4 and 58 and wont sell that in any foreseeable future :) And might even get another Df at some point if i have the funds and find one in great condition. /regards Martin.

@@martinandreasson5504 How's the ZF in that regard? Is it possible to get the color brilliance as was with the DF/58 combo?

@@klarion I will confess that what i thought first would be something i would instantly try, shooting the F lenses on it with the adapter, has been something i avoided just because of my "disdain" for that adapter :P So i have not tested it that much yet with the 58mm. The few times i did i would say no, the Df or D4 with the 58 brings something extra special and unique. The Zf give me some other things i value like adapting other really cool vintage lenses i have in the arsenal, and together with the new Z28 and Z40mm f2 lenses its a fun smaller package i love using too. So its something else fun and versatile, but does not replace my Df in that regard. Will do some more etsting with it at some point because i want to use my 58mm more again :)

@@martinandreasson5504 thanks. We agree yet again.. I too dislike that adapter with a passion... and Nikon's decision not to make one with AF, like Sony did for Minolta users.

@@klarion Yes! its wrong in so many ways hehe. It was one of the reasons i did not want to even get into the Z system to begin with. For me also adding the non inspiring camera bodies and the heavy looking Z lenses that looked like they tried to be a mix now in design to Sigma or Sony...just cant believe Nikons design team decision when they sat down fo this meeting and how they could make his call...just flabbergasting. Then at last the Zf came along and at least i found a camera body id like to use, just had to get past that ugly adapter. But the use of nicer looking vintage lenses and the 2 SE Z lenses made it ok for me even though im not totally satisfied with it. I also added the Voigtlander 40mm f1,2 which is a wonderful lens that goes so well with the Zf :)

Thank you 🌺🌼🙏🏻 and yes you are so right ! It’s absolutely more than enough ✨👍

Tack! :D yeh we mkight as well stock up on these gems before they go out hehe :) Its a lovely little camera . /regards Martin,

If its the SL-ii i believe it is yes :D

would really like a Lx7 and if i see one im sure il try and get it in decent condition :) have not seen many around though, meybae for that reason, people like them too much and hold on to hem hehe.

Now have a variety (LX2, GF1, GF2, GX1, LX7, TZ90, GX880)of Lumix models and tend to use the LX7 the most closely followed by the TZ90 for a majority of the time, unless I want to use a fixed prime like the Panasonic 25mm Summilux.

@@kiwipics I actually got myself the VF for the LX5 the other day, its a great adition but also looking for the LX7 now to try it out. Only thing im "worried" about is not having the CCD sensor on the camera like the LX3 and 5 :) But otherwise everything else like you said looks great :)

i wonder if the auto lens cap for the lx7 works for the lx3 or not

@@begula6763 The LX3 one is smaller than the one for the LX7. My LX3 one is marked JJC ALC-3. The LX7 one is just marked LX7. It may or may not be made by JJC.

Thank you :) will try and make something after using it for a while. regards Martin.

Ow thats a shame! :) and that you cannot change that as well. Nice to hear you preferred the 3 in the end, i tend to have more fond memories about it too. Thank you.

Its a gem of a lens for sure in my opinion. Its expensive and many do not get it at all. But if you do its a keeper :) yes thats an amazing lens too!

Awesome camera :) got myself a new LX5 not too long ago now too again.

The Q is one of my favorite cameras ever, especially the Q-P i owned last. Wish i had kept that a lot of times. The Fuji X10 was a fun camera that packed a punch as well :) /regards Martin.

@@martinandreasson5504 glad I kept mine. 🙌

Hej! Yeh i can relate to the feeling of wanting to stack up and save for the future as well :D Im so happy to have 2 now at this point, but will surely also add a LX5 in the near future if i can find one in decent condition. For the moment i have found myself using the LX3 more than all my other cameras hehe....so yeh i can really relate there as well. Greetings back from Stockholm :)

Ow! i have not done that, cheers :D

So very brave of you to admit such a thing!!!!!

The LX5 was a great little camera, and i also recall it being slightly better at creating separation when you wanted to take something more akin to a portrait with it which made it even more versatile than the LX3 :) I will most likely add the LX5 in the future if i can find one in decent condition and for the right price . Also the LX7 as i never got to try it out, but rather got the Fuji X-T1 and left the LX series after the LX5. I hear you, i have some awesome cameras both analog and digital, but i tend to grab what is the lightest and easiest 80% of the time nowadays, and lately since i got them back again, the LX3 is in my bag a lot :) So handy and fun to use. Thank you. Regards Martin.

Thats awesome :D Yeh my favorite of the X cameras for sure. Like you say it has its limit in certain areas, but thats not always what is most important either :)

Tack så jättemycket!

Tack va kul att du tyckte om den 🤩 Mvh Martin.

Hi✨ I use Apurture mode 90% of the time I’d say 😊👍 But now and again I use manual and manual focus for the macro mode for example 🤩 Regards Martin

Thank you :) How do you like your Zf thus far? And what is your favorite lens for it?

Hi :) Yes! i have already used the 35mm f1,4 Nokton on it, as well as the Summicron 50mm f2 Rigid, i mention it in my "new lenses for ZF video" here in the catalogue as well as show some of the images i have taken with the Zf+leica lens :) I only show images from the Summicron and Canon LTM lens with leica mount though as i liked those two lenses from my leica setup the best thus far. The favorite being the summicron Rigid which i really liked the images that came out with the Zf. beautiful glow and rendering. /Regards Martin.

@@martinandreasson5504 Thanks. I enjoyed the video and I look forward to seeing more including the video for "new lenses for ZF".

Thank you so much :)! /regards Martin.

Thank you SO much :) yes indeed, its a gem for sure, love it ! /regards Martin.

Thank you so very much, both for watching and your comment :) Appreciated. A zoom for traveling is a savior when it comes to miss shots so absolutely not a bad idea. I always went with primes even though i did shoot with he 24-70 many years. And for weddings etc i could not shoot with only primes, so always use the 24-70 and the 70-200( except on the df too as its too big and heavy ). And in those instances its so nice to have them as well i the tool kit. But yes, when it comes to that special character and you get do nail a good shot a prime makes it a bit more unique and nice in the end for sure :) /regards Martin.

I hear you, and agree completely! I still have my favorite F glass left. I havent used it on my ZF but still have my Nikon D4 for them. Also have a Nikon F100 which its nice to use on from time to time. But yeh, would have been amazing if it had been F mount on the Zf, for me it would have been a "worthy" replacement for my Df. Now speaking of that the DF will never really be replaced totally by my new Zf, it will be something else, a great and fun camera making me able to do other things i could not with the Df. But the magic of the Df sensor and those F lenses will always in my opinion be unmatched in a way sadly .. So yeh i also miss it and will occasionally. But i have taken so many photographs i love with it over the years, so will always have them at least. And maybe down the line il get another one if i find one in decent condition hehe :D

Thank you so much! Just humbled everytime anyone want to watch or like the videos and photography, its so subjective after all. Cheers! /regards Martin.
