I'm currently running a roll of Ektar 100 through my N6006 with a 28-105D lens on it. Lots of fun! I usually shoot with more manual cameras -F, FM, FE, FA, etc, but every now and then it's nice to use an auto focus, auto wind body. Thanks for the video!
Not really. The AF-D 70-300mm requires the camera to have a built-in-motor. Manually it will work but with no auto focus. You will need the AF-S 70-300mm G not D.
I personally have no issues with the D2H having an Err code (error) on the 1st shot when the camera is first turned on... It is a well known issue/problem which Nikon should've addressed years ago. To repair the problem is a bit expensive but worth it maybe in the years to come as it is becoming a very rare collectors item. The D2Hs as well... but the D2Hs doesn't have this problem as such.
@@nessetainment Thanks for the help man, Ill look into getting that. I currently am waiting on Nikon AF / NIKKOR 70-210 F/4-5.6 Zoom lens that I ordered for 30 bucks off of ebay.
But it can still work on a Nikon Zf camera, for example, but will have to manually focus, is that correct? I am not sure what kind of experience that's going to be..
i'm really glad you pointed out the d100 and d80, they're the only dslrs that i own. Once i feel like i have a really good idea of how photography works i'd like to start using my film camera!
That is a very good start. The D100 is the closest approximation to a film camera I can find but the D80 is a little beauty... Without the Err problem. I like the D200 as well because it has the non-CPU built in the system to use old Nikkor Ai/AiS lenses.
I did not know that... It's funny cause the Spanish accent can throw some folks off when speaking English. It's definitely a Digger... not a tigger or tiger.
@@nessetainment I would not expect any non german speaking person to know that. I know this movie since it aired like 30 years ago. But only since 3 years or so i know that they say digger in the neglish version instead of tiger. The word of tiger would for sure more have fitted Ian malcom, or Robert Muldon.
Some people are the job. Meaning: He would rather spend his life digging for new fossils then to waste his time trying to convince folks the moral implication of creating a theme park full of dinosaurs. He is a digger, like I am a shooter... Whether I use a Nikon F1 to D5 or A R 1 5. It's who I am. I love the action.... I'm just a lot more mellow at my age :)
Not everything I do is done with reading about how something is made or works... Sometimes I take a quick guess as to what it might be. If I took the time to remember every single definition to the subject I would spend less time doing what I want to do. So honestly, do you want to know more about CRC lenses then I will tell you to go elsewhere because honestly... I care little about the technical terms and more about what you can I actually do with equipment. I am trying to improve my videos to make everyone happy without being paid for it but I keep these old video to show I am human being.
I had to repair my lens first because it was decentered but now it works fine. Very sharp on my D850. It underexposes a bit so I use +0.7 exposure compensation.
"After the big bang...". A big bang is the sound of HUGE assumptions based on more assumptions that all need redressed. He's not responsible for it, so he just repeats it.
You should set the lens to the largest F-number (smallest aperture)... I think this is f/32 to stop it all the way down on this lens... Use your camera settings to adjust the aperture settings on the lens to how you would like the photograph to appear... ie "DoF" Depth of field. I hope this helps... If that's what you were asking.
It's a beautiful thing to take moon shots during the day. I walked into a hotel after just arriving and seeing g the moon. I showed the receptionist the photo of the moon and they couldn't believe that camera can take such a photo without a telescope and processing. Nice message by the way.
The launch of hundred of satellites in strings without consideration to light pollution has ruined the night sky. At this is said to be corrected now with a special paint. But it doesn't undo the damage and still ruins astro images.
I love the bark on the nest box. Early morning nest box audio recordings are good ways of avoiding neighbourhood sounds. But Adobe and Davinci Resolve both have good noise reduction and of course, there are audio plugins that do the job. Davinci Resolve noise reduction is free though. I like to clean up the audio a little but not so much that it is so obvious. The audio you have is fit for purpose, especially when demonstrating lens noise. I came here because of Alexia's astro-physics discovery. Nice to hear her violin. I thought I would check out your lens videos in particular for astro-photography. I have Nikon gear but also a Canon astro modified camera. I normally adapt Nikon lenses, as I had already parted with my Canon lenses. Interesting channel.
Thank you for your view. I love my nest box to, it was hand crafted to raise money for RSPB. I'm always looking to improve my system when it comes to noise... Noisy neighbours, dogs can be the worst when owner doesn't take responsibility but it's not too bad. Before Alexia took an interest in my interest we worked on her becoming a Great Violinist... She reached Grade 8 in both Practical & theoretical at age 15 and then took up Physics.
@@nessetainment Very much of interest. My daughter took up violin at 12, quickly headed for front desk violins, began teaching, went to Uni - gave up violin and is now a mother at 40. I'm hoping she returns to violin. Music can be good for mental health - whether you play or listen. I can't seem to locate your shop/outlet.
I don't have a shop, I have a few violins, lots of Nikon. There is nothing wrong with picking up the violin and learning to play again but I would try to find an orchestra no matter how small to join. Just a thought, a mother at any age needs a break.. Whilst listening to classic music soothes the mind & soul and solitude is often welcomed.
Do you have experience with the rest of the Mirror Lens lineup? Rubinar and Maksutov etc? Are there any that stick out to you as sharper or more "fun" than others?
Yes. I have experience with a few Telescopes. The one that sticks out with me was my Orion SX 200mm F/8 (Orion Optics U.K.) 1/10 wave. This was many years ago. Quite expensive upgrading but when I needed to find something... It was awesome. My daughter and I used to scan the skies looking for celestial objects. I have a Nikon ED Field Scope 82mm very portable and with the right eyepieces will blow your mind for such a small scope. I really would love to test out more scopes... I just can't get the equipment I used to and money is a bit tight... But I am trying to get my RA in control and maybe back in the game.
Great video. Beginner photographs can learn a lot from your experience. Other people will not explain everything to you about the camera and the camera lens. Thanks ❤❤❤
Alexia made her first discovery "The Giant Arc" whilst working on her Master Degree under the Guidance of Professor Roger Clowes... There is a Publish copy of her work. A Big Ring on the Sky is her 2nd discovery 2023. She doesn't have a PR team that I know of. It might be nice break for her if she did.
So it looks like this woman just made another incredible discovery! This deserves more views, and I’m guessing we’re going to hear her name quite a bit in cosmological physics circles. The Arc and now the Big Ring?!! Nicely done
Question for you… I’ve got a Tamron 18-400 on my Nikon which has been a great all-round lens. How would the Nikkor 80-400 compare? Can I expect a sharper image quality with the Nikkor lens?
I've tested the 80-400mm AF-S which is slightly sharper than the AF-D as well as faster but the Tamron 18-400... I can't say because I haven't tested it against this lens. Sometimes Tamron surprises me... But I usually stick with the fastest focal ratio and shortest zoom rather than a long range zoom (TBH)... I feel long range is more for the convenience.
Jacob is now 3yrs old... He loves his Pop-pops camera but now he's into dinosaurs & animals... So I put them in the cabinet, hiding behind cameras to have him find them.
Well, I searched all afternoon after buying a second hand version of this lens, and thought no! the AF doesn't work! This video solved my issue. I "warmed" up all the rings and it started working. Now, very quick. Thank you!
That's brilliant! It worked for me as well... It is not an answer to the problem but then we don't have a true understanding of Quantum Mechanics... It still doesn't stop us making quantum applications, such as Computing & Lasers. In cases like these most people just want a solution and to leave the "understandings of the answer" to philosophers :)
I'm just on it right now... I can hear the music as well as myself, with no issues.. I know the volume for the commercial I didn't put on purposely is louder but once I come-on, I don't hear a problem. Very sorry it is too low for you.
The Nikon D7100 is a great camera as is the Nikkor AF-D 70-300mm lens. So without me having a look, I cannot say with confidence. It could have a fault in the electronics or the glass cloudy or has been tampered with... If you are close by (cumbria) I would have a look or if you have a 2nd DSLR, any model... You could test it against each other to rule out the camera.
@@moshikohn5955Think of the Old Western movies: Cowboys would make deals with or without a 6 shooter... It is light-humour stating the fact that your deal was so good it begs the question was it a hold up "stick'em up kid" Maybe my age is showing that people don't remember Western films. I'm embarrassed but laughing at myself. 🤭
