Thank you too for watching! :) regards Martin.

Thank you Mika :) And hi! Regarding your question, i have used 3 different "setups" and my first was the Gariz leather half case that also contains a grip. the two i have now is the Df plate with grip, but i also ordered a new leather halfcase with a bronze bottom plate as protection ( similar to the Gariz case i had for my first df). Out of all three id say the little plat+plus grip from Nikon i have now is the most "smooth" of the choices. It doesnt really add much extra weight from what i feel and also not much extra "girth". I really like both the Gariz half case and the new one i have bought, but i find myself using that little L grip more often as it does not add much to the Df in terms of the dimensions. I mean using it without is the best i suppose hehe. But the little Nikon L grip i feel is the best compromise as it doesnt change the Df too much but protects the bottom and adds a little extra grip that actually does help when your holding it for longer shoots. Hope that helps a bit :) /regards Martin.

I agree wholeheartedly with that :) Then you had it for a while now thats great!

Thank you :) Yeh the af is not the best, probably the only thing that can get a bit annoying at times, and also not having more than the green dot as confirmation for being in focus ;) Otherwise its indeed a classic! The 58 G is one of my very favorite lenses on the Df as well.

@@martinandreasson5504 i've grown to trust the green dot, and even when there is not enough light for the dot to appear, the way the arrows around the dot do their thing is often reliable enough to confirm focus (2 triangles flashing at the same time). I tried installing a 3d party ground glass with split screen on my first Df, but that was messy and, at the end, much less reliable.

Thank you :) i never had the silver actually, looks awesome too! Actually never had that lens. have the VL 40mm f1,2 on my Zf but nevred tried the one you mentioned :) thank you for the recommendation. /regards Martin.

Thank you so much :) And yes very happy to be reunited again! I agree with keeping the Zf around as well, its good for a lot of things with the fast Af and insane ISO capablities and being able to adapt other branded vintage lenses etc. But the sensor and feel of the Df trumps everything else for me :) Cheers! /regards Martin.

@@martinandreasson5504 it was your review that convinced me to buy one... Thanks for the content!

@@TheJebacgodine Thats so cool to hear, and that you also like it. Hope that you will keep it for a long while :)

Thank you :) Happy you watched !

Thank you so much again :) I hope to continue them during spring and summer maybe on som travels in the future. But so glad i have it again, really missed it. Both the Df and Q-P. /regards Martin.

Hehe, i know the feeling! So happy i got it back again:)

@ I wanted to keep mine when I had it but couldn’t justify the price…that said I’m a diehard 5D classic guy

@@codyallen3729 Yeh the one i bought now was not cheap either :( but was almost new so at least felt ok. The canon 5 D :)?

@@martinandreasson5504 oh yeah canon 5D (mk 1)

@@codyallen3729 Ah right :) actually not too versed when it comes to the Canon side, besides the film Canons back in the day hehe. Does the 5D mark 1 hold a similar spot sensorwise like the df does among canon users :)?

Haha indeed :) this weather continued here and even got colder this week. Its beautiful, but im starting to look forward to spring/summer! Cheers.

Thank you! I will shoot more with it now for sure :) Just wish the light here would be slightly better, but its moving towards longer days so thats good. I still have it actually. During xmas when i was inside with my family i used it because it has such amazing ISO capabilities. The Df would have worked fine as well, but the Zf with the f1m2 lens i had with me worked very well in that situation. But for me in reality the only thing that the Zf trumps the Df on, would be the Af and the ISO capabilities. The sensor is still or will always be the better one. I dont see another one like that in the future either to be honest. All new cameras look cleaner and more "perfect" ;)

@@musiqueetmontagne Thank you 🙏🏻✨ yes it feels great shooting it again . This one I found by chance and was so lucky . It had 1000 shutter clicks and like no visible marks on it 🤩 So will hold on to it dearly ✨👍

Thank you for watching and happy you liked it :)

Hej Kenneth! Först och främst, grattis till en fin kamera! Angående dina frågor Kenneth så ska jag säga att de jag använde mest i X-T1 förutom just "standard" var nog Monochrome+R , Fuji Astia, eller Pro neg film simulations. Jag använde lite olika recept jag hittat på internet också, bland annat någon trix recept och någon Agfa Optima men även någon några andra jag hittade bland recepten där på websidan. Ja och med de gamla objektiven man kan sätta på också får man en väldigt fin Vintage look så ofta räcker det med "standard". Jag redigerar ofta i Raw ändå i ett program som heter "exposure 6" som har massor va roliga presets som man kan skräddarsy hur mycket man vill också. Rekommenderas varmt :) Ha det fint Kenneth, God Jul och gott nytt år! Mvh Martin.

Probably just my bad editing Cheers!!

That is awesome :) yeh its such a versatile wonderful little gem to be honest. I would be happy to use it every time im out and need something lightweight just for fun but still be happy with the results i get. I hope you like it as much as im have, and that you are also happy with the results!

Thank you so much :) /regards Martin.

Hey! And first of all thank you :) The X-T1 is a good choice if you are ok with it not being fullframe. But you have that in your Sony already so getting those other qualities in a X-T1 sounds like good reasoning then :)

Hello and the same to you :) Yes as you say all the Zeiss lenses are great to be honest. I have only used the 28, 40 and 50mm Zeiss Contax lenses . And also for my ikon camera i once used the 21 Distagon Zeiss lens which was a magnificent landscape lens. So i could only speak about those. But the 28mm f2,8 was a great lens. So i would recommend that for sure. Its a bit bigger than the other two i used, but in comparison to modern lenses its not that big. Good luck and tank you for watching :) /Regards Martin.

@@martinandreasson5504 thanks a lot.

Wow, thank you for giving me that feedback, so happy you got it and like it so much. I know it is not for everyone, but im sincerely happy for the people that DO get it. Its funny, but since making this video, a while ago i sold my Df even though i did not really want to. I had the Zf and the D4, and could still get a good price selling the Df. So i did. BUT, last week i found a Df in even better condition with 1000 k shutter count, so im back full circle again with one if not the favorite digital camera ever. So happy :) Thank you yet again, kind regards Martin.

I used to own one. I'd caution the little lever that selects CL and CH to not be caught on threads or debris. That's the only complaint I have with the design. It can be slightly bent upwards causing CH to become inoperable without pressing down on it while shooting. I say all that to say, do yourself a favor and purchase a full leather case. I wouldn't even mess with a cheap nylon case if I purchase another one. There's also a vertical battery grip out there if you need it.

@@dct124 Thank you, good warning and advice. Never had the issue on either of mine, but can imagine it would be very annoying if i had. I always only had a halfcase to protect the leather etc.

@martinandreasson5504 me too. I had the half case. It got caught in one of my bags on the inner thread.

@@dct124 Aouch, thats so annoying :(

Thank you so much :) Kind regards Martin.

😂

That is awesome ! :)

Thank you :)

Thank you so much and very happy to hear you felt it hit home with you :) I believe i used the Urth or K&F one one of those :) /regards Martin.

Thank you, thanks a lot for the kind words :) /regards Martin.

Its from a site called Soundstripe that i have choosen for the video :)

@@martinandreasson5504 what song on soundstripe?

Thank you! Happy you liked it and found it useful. I realized when i made it, it would not be for everyone. But thought that as a parent id have loved to get some information about cameras that could be good for children and why :) I bought it from Amazon, and here is the link for the YunLone! Again thank you for watching and liking it! /regards Martin. www.amazon.se/YunLone-Barnkamera-digitalkamera-uppladdningsbar-selfie-kamera/dp/B081ZVGCPW/ref=sr_1_40?crid=376F8HUEXSJWK&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.x88NKhFhB7bsThb9jle50bueC4xdoKuf1mwXfAWbjwYDEqVcFlpTSdnd1wJFnixvR_ddZ-iS-Bx8VM3F2Y3ybcrYYKxmpppd-eLXqJd9vuSuN2AZe8-pZ5I87MKI1aB8w4axELpQB_vK3rFOCSNWws7dEhePbjgyHQ2H00FtaP-xSepuLdtAIJf2uUW5MVGftwU7HRhKtRWrCT3M6MkN0N38Tz6ybQTl5wI-l4JE8ygfL8Rm7k9qpGrEztOcDeTHaYWSkzfWRXCq5uOkr3dOSnlebeKNi52NmFjTVzPM0pM.7HfdNRvDZNnP8ncsZ2OUMJDlDZERY6nH2IUjwq8pr0A&dib_tag=se&keywords=toy+camera&qid=1728919904&sprefix=toy+camera%2Caps%2C110&sr=8-40

Thank you! So happy to hear that it gave you inspiration :) It IS an inspiring camera though and as you say, the images from those kind of combinations as you mentioned with the lenses and sensor, is a match that just makes amazing photos in the right hands. And as you say while i love retro styling it is the sensor that makes me love it even more :)

@@martinandreasson5504 Thank you for the response and that you for the wonderful KZbin and I,ages.

Thank you :) I will have to remedy that in the future. Im kind of new to making videos here and still a bit of a novice when it comes to all settings and what to choose. have only taken the recommended ones bt have to look into that so that it doesnt select anything worse in quality. Glad you commented. Regards Martin.

@@martinandreasson5504 I appreciate your candour Mr. Andreasson. KZbin compression is not kind to videos that are below 1440p IMO and makes images look fuzzier than they are. Kind regards

@@NalinKhurb No thank you for making a constructive comments, that is what i need to make things better from here on out :) /regards Martin.

Very nice to hear :) it really is a nice lens, works so well on the Zf!

@@martinandreasson5504 it s my Zf default lens :)

Thank you so much :)

Thank you! :) I agree with you, and also have the X-T10 actually, its so nice and small but feels much more fragile as you say. Also have that little flash though which is nice. Cheers!

Thank you SO much for your kind words. I will try and keep making vids when i can, and knowing people like you like them gives me extra motivation to do that as well. Thank you :)

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!
