Zenit 12XP: A Mad Review
A quick look at another old camera someone gave me, an old Russian Zenit 12XP in surprisingly good shape.

Nikon F3: A Mad Review (sort of...)
Просмотров 7312 года назад
What can I say about the Nikon F3 that so many RUclipsrs haven't already? Who knows, but this is my perspective on this legendary 35mm SLR, which I have owned and loved for many years. Trust me, I'm a LOT better at still photography than I am at videos, which are more an exercise in public speaking anyway. NIKON F3 OBSERVED SERIAL NUMBERS First production: 1200001 (March 1980) Higheat observed:...

    thank GOD for you just getting STRAIGHT into the subject of the video. i am so disgustingly sick and tired of all these bumbling RUclips posers endlessly plugging and advertising their channel or whatever TF at the beginning of every single video for like 3-5 minutes. i despise any channel that constantly does that and takes forever to get to the freaking point

      He mistakenly called it 100mm 2.5 It's actually a 105mm 2.5 it's the popular lens used by the dude who took the photo of the girl on Nat geo mag cover back in the day. I recently grabbed a copy and it's even better than everyone says it is. He's right to show it as #1. It probably is the BEST (average, consumer priced) vintage Nikon lens that everyone should start with. It's pretty amazing. I'm surprised Nikon doesn't just keep making it. They should probably make one just like the old vintage one, manual focus and a make one just like it optically, with AF.

    Is that an Nikkor 80-200 f/2.8 D? I keep getting EE messages and can't figure out putting the A ring to the orange 22 and locking the pin or not. Either way, I've noticed that it's mostly my bad hand holding that nudges the aperture or sometimes even the magnication ring. Any advice welcome 😁

    I've 50mm f:1.2 Ai-s and with my D810 it's very sharp. Also I use 80-200mm f:2.8 AF-D. This one is a solid metal and gives very good picture quality. My 35mm f:2 AF-D is as good as its AFS cousin but at a much low cost.

    I owned the 55 2.8 micro AIS. My copy was not as sharp stopped down to F4 as my Nikon 50mm F1.2 at F4. I also owned the Zeiss 50mm Macro plannar lens and my copy of the Nikon 50mm F1.2 was sharper then the Zeiss macro plannar. So in my case the 50 F1.2 ( note its very dreamy, hazy whatever you like to call it wide open ) is my sharpest MF AI or AIS lens when stopped down to F4. Better then The Zeiss 50 and better then the 55 micro nikon lens.

  • @jeremykeller211
    @jeremykeller211 5 месяцев назад

    So many of these extraordinary lenses can be found on eBay, etc., but typically the front element is scratched or scarred by ignorant owners rubbing them for cleaning, as you point out. Why did Leica decide to use a piece of glass that is "soft as chalk?"

  • @Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism
    @Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism 6 месяцев назад

    You might want to try a 135mm 2.8 Series E (it's an AI-S too). I tested 2 Nikkor copies against it and it blew them both out of the water. Slightly smaller with less glass and was supposed to be a more affordable, lower end line at the time but it's actually a far superior lens than the Nikkor AI or AIS version. The contrast and "3d pop" is makes the E shine. The supposedly "excellent" graded AI copy was a total dud, so I knew it wasn't fair, so I tried again, this time getting a good AIS copy and the E still handed it, it's ass. Pixle peeping, wide open down to f3.5 the nikkor had a super, super slight edge in sharpness over the E but even still it looked FLAT as crap compared to the E and by F4, all the way down the E took every advantage. Equal sharpness but totally blew it away in photo quality in every other aspect. It's no compassion. The lower end grade 135 2.8 E totally destroys the Nikkor head to head. I don't think many people know this at all. I'm the only one posting comments anywhere to claim it being the case. I just don't think people thought to compare them to each other. Only reason I did, was I bought the E and fell in love with it and since there was a "better" version out there, I was going to trade up!....... Well, 2 tries latter, I sold the Nikkors at a loss both times too, but oh well. Least I know.

  • @dct124
    @dct124 6 месяцев назад

    By far one of the best cameras ever made, even in 2024. That flash is more powerful than most top mounted flashes, definitely more powerful than all of Nikon's new bodies. The body is more durable than anything they're currently putting out. The CCD sensor jpegs hold together significantly better than any CMOS sensor you can buy since its release all the way to today in 2024. The only problem this camera has is not having super high iso settings in-camera. Never needed more than 1600 even at night. My only complaint of the D200 is I wish it had a fast frame rate, like around 9 or 12. I regularly shoot 1600 or 3200 iso and just run an ai denoise if I don't want the grain. But the grain disappears when you print and when you reduce the resolution for online use. This body wants f1.8, f1.4, and f1.2 lenses.

I'm still astonished that this lens keeps up with the modern bodies. More than that, it lets them shine. Compact, character,... I still love it. 🙂

Today I used this lens on a NIKON z6 ii with the TZM-02 adapter. Wonderful results, the adapter changes this 70 year old lens into an autofocus lens.
