This lens has been mentioned by Yannick Khong as having good micro-contrast ( "3D pop" ), which is unusual for a zoom. Normally he rates low element count primes highly. Maybe it's because the zoom range isn't that great? What do people think?

The F100 or even F90x/N90s are the film equivalents of the D850

Wonderful video, thank you for sharing your camera and lens knowledge. Kudos to you sir. :)

Wtf did I just watch? This guy's tweaking

I just bought a unirex for $28 usd. Fully refurbished. I cant wait to use it!

Verstehe leider nicht die Bedeutung des FL Ringes wie er eingestellt werden sollte.

Your reviews are thorough and also entertaining. This review is the best of all on KZbin.

your vid is nice but keep it to the essence..its far too long..the last part is the best..dont make a show..hehe..thanks..

the Pentacon Six lenses are also VERY radioactive, - although I only know about the zebra versions of these lenses. very dangerous, esp. if you drop a lens...

Entertaining. Appreciate your reviews.

Hi! Really nice video, have you finally tried this alternative Orings?

You missed the plot on IF. The main benefit is that the lens does not breathe in dust when focusing.

When you said about a sluggish aperture I noticed that you didnt close the aperture to the smallest number and flip the little tab near the rear element.. this is how you check for slow oily blades on auto lenses, they should open and close with a fast snap. But old preset M42 lenses like Helios 44 were constructed with greasy blades and people assume that cleaning the blades will make a difference but it is a waste of time.. Only auto lenses like yours should have the snappy aperture and it's easy to test.

Some years ago a photographer friend recommended this lens to me. Didn't buy at the time, thought I'd do it eventually...but now it's out of production. Please could you share what current option you believe to be most comparable? She mentioned it to me because I told her I was looking to invest in a FLASH, which she thought I could bypass by going with this lens.

Can you please tell how to play vedio in the camaraderie

another point, the 50 is NOT the widest for the v system, natively they go as wide as 40mm, but the SWC (super wide) has a 38mm lens permanently affixed to the body; those are NORMAL wide lenses, a fisheye 30?, I think was also for the 500 series cameras.

I was using the Kiron made Vivitar 70-210mm Series I AI f/3.5 manual focus zoom as a backup to my Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 auto focus zoom. When my auto focus lens broke, I decided not to repair it. I have been using the Vivitar instead.

Ayant vu cette vidéo, j'aimerais savoir si ce boitier est pour les professionnels ou les amateurs, et aussi savoir le nombre de mégapixels, les sensibilités qu'on peut avoir, ainsi que le prix, et le codage.

I hear your music, not you talking. You should consider leveling out your audio. Your voice is low, but your clapping and transitions are loud.

shutter can sync at all speeds

Canon 5D classic Nikon D200 Especially Nikon D700 a must have for any photographer. I just ordered this one and a second D200 for the CCD censor. Amazing colors

good find

ive got a d1x i just leave a nikon f1.4 50mm lens on it and it takes lovely pics..just bought a d2x....they were class cameras in their day and still take pictures that have a feel to them..

Hi do you have the full tapes uploaded anywhere?

Sir! Please Tell Me That Is it sharp lens for group photos? Answer In Detail Please

Skål! I bought it today on ebay and going to stick it on Nikon F60.Can't wait to test it out.Nice review!Keep up the good work.God bless!

@ 34:07 …."Even darker"…Oh boy …He made fun of who said it in his seminar…..I do not know how film compares to digital sensor but the principle is the same, I define the reflective grey 18% when I see on my histogram the spike smack in the middle….That is my unit on may digital camera ( you will find it off a bit from the reflective reading but close). you do not have to increase or decrease power, just open up and close down your lens…:)

Thanks for driving up the prices for Collins stuff. Only need a few pieces to complete my collection. I've got one of the rare items - the book from the Magic of Light Tour. Not sure if you linked to the videos on my channel, I'll have to look at your links. OOOOO pretty. Me Like. Me Give You Money.

Well I have a 43-86 would not know which version had it years... Serial no. 899xxx Any clues.....is still nice condition and has 7 aperture blades..... Good coatings... etc etc....

telefocus😂

What a disorganized mess of a video

I start in photography with an old artifact: no TTL, no hot shoe, no light meter, no rangefinder, shutter speeds from 1/15 sec. to 1/250 sec, non interchangeable lens, just a fix lens F: 40 mm / f: 4.0... Off course the wonders of film development and the magic of the dark room, hook me since 1958 to today... After traying the modern technical advances through Nikon D3x, Somy A 90 and Nikon D810 working professionally and ending "fabricating" pictures at the computer, I decide at this very advance age that I can not live without the mix smell of metol, hydroquinone, sodium sulfite, acetic acid, etc. And, as you can see I am watching this video... Five years ago I start looking for a Vintage SLR y real good condition with the light meter working. Thru a friend I contacted a gentleman in Wisconsin that was selling a collection of Nikon cameras, from him I got a Nikomat FTn and a Nikomat EL in mint condition and with the light meter working. I normally use a Gossen Lunalux SBC and through some testing I found were to adjust the meter ISO on the cameras to obtain the correct exposition... I am taken real pictures again and I can go out with the confidence that the two heavy tractors I bought will not let me down... Can you tell me what can be done with a Nikon FE that can not be do with a Nikomat EL in good shape..??? This movement is not a hobby or a dream: if we continue using analog cameras some companies will be putting film, developer, photo paper, etc. in the market and then we continue to see real pictures in the exposition saloon... Thanks and blessings to everyone who fight for our analog way...

я дома печатал ra-4 в сарае в деревне!!)) сам сделал химию и все получилось,но не с первого раза.

What tripod is that?

Get the pro sd

So the flash doesn't operate without the power pack? So the power pack needs to be taken into the field? Thanks

Uh, glad I read the comments before watching the video. Ended up not watching it.

You come off as a bit smarmy.

I'ver heard it does very well on the D3 and D700 - 12MP FF sensor. On newer cameras, with higher and higher MP sensor, most D lenses don't do as well as newer design ones from the G series. I've just picked one of these, from the last series (2019/2020), to use on my D700 and my film cameras. It'll arrive in a few days. From what I've read and heard, it goes very well on both. Let's see!

What was your decision? Decades ago, I replaced my worn-out Mamiya C3, C22, and C220 TLR wedding cameras and 55/80/180mm lenses. I replaced them with two Mamiya RB67 bodies and 50/90/180mm lenses. I have never even considered "upgrading" them for the RZ67 because I prefer manual/mechanical cameras over automatic/electronic cameras.

Thank you for sharing this video. Dean Collins was a genius that inspired many of us to learn lightcraft.

Agreed on the 800. It's an all around brilliant unit usable in full TTL all the way back to F3 or similar. The 5th battery seemed cool but I rarely used it out about & lost it (not wanting to take a single out of my 4x sets). I use flash brackets w/ its own extra power of 4x batteries of which I always have in sets . I use the Nikon SK-6A (updated) or SD-8

At the time of introduction, every press room/newspaper bought these. Newsrooms were major target for this camera. Newsprint is 200 dpi at 8X10 size is what AP uses. Magazines use 300 dpi at 8x10 size. These dpi's are still in use today. The D1x will output 200 dpi at 8x10 size or 300 dpi at 8x10 size. Today, if you post to social media, you resize to 2000 x 1300 or so for Facebook. With the D1x you don't have to resize. Still relevant.

Got it for $18, best purchase of my life :)

After some test and comparisons and having owned a Nikon D3X for years I cannot understand all this repenting return to the corpse of the old and out of features D2x in any of its models. 'Build as a truck" are saying some around. I personally prefer a Ford, a Chevy, etc... "Nice pictures" are saying others... Of course, but the dynamic range is more limited than with my older Nikkormat if you applied the Zone System for B&W film... From that time if you want a truck to take pictures go to the D3X ( that has no crop sensor and have 24 MP) Just remember that Ford and Chevy are not comfortable hanging from your neck...

The video samples make me see sick.

Nice laid-back review. :) I own a SB900, SB800 & 4x SB600's. they work with all my DX & FX cameras thanks to Nikons CLS. Mostly the 900 gets uses on its own - mounted or remote and the 800 can be used the same or as it normally gets used in command mode with the 600's as slaves.

Fantastic portrait lens. I have it adapted to my Canon R

Hi. We found you on KZbin, and we think you are a perfect match for our collaboration idea. Would you want to hear more?

Har lyssnat på en väldigt massa musik och det här är riktigt bra. Toppklass.
