Tôi muốn mua pin D700, giá bao nhiêu???

Good reminder about the replacement of these 2 wonderful bodies… the issue is that it costs itself more the the 2 others :)

I had this lens. It is sharp but I ended up selling it to a friend of mine who has a D7500. Figured he could et more use out of it than me. Thank you for the fine video Jules.

Hello. I have used Canon and currently Sony for event photography which I have no complaints. Within the past year I purchased the d800 which I sold for the d810. I’m really enjoying this camera and getting very pleasing results. I have also used the d850 which is a great camera. At the end of the day I’m content with the d810. Thanks for the video.

I bought my D700 in 2010 and still using it. No intention of buying another camera unless it gives up.

01:08 I'm not sure if understood you correctly here. But, if price wasn't an issue, all of us would own the Nikon Z9 right?

Hi Jules, thanks for the video! You mentioned using “camera setting” when bringing Z8’s raw files into Lightroom to reduce noise. Could you please elaborate on which settings you’re using? Thanks again!

Today is 10/14/2024. I expect to receive my Nikon F by weeks end. I wanted to add the "F" to go with the FM, F2, and F100. Now, I need to spend more time looking through the viewfinders! Always a good thing to find one of your videos when I am looking at another camera. Thank you...good stuff!

Thanks for the video. I agree with your premise that the z8 replaces both dslrs. i sold my d500, but kept the d850 as it can behave like a mirrorless camera. My z8 is just for birding and so, the long lens remains fixed to it. It is a bit big for walking around ( for me), so i have the z7ii for that. i frankly do not need a d500 replacement as the z8 does it all.

Old Nikons and Leicas are similar, in that they were expensive camera's in the day. As such, they were used by professionals and well heeled amateurs. You're right, condition is everything! Better to get a camera that was owned and pampered by a dentist in Toledo than a camera that was used by a photo journalist who was using it in the back country in Vietnam and ran several thousand rolls through it. That said, both deserve a CLA, and even an old warhorse can be brought back to life. These are fun cameras with an amazing history. Nikon not only revolutionized 35mm photography with their cameras and lenses, but the F's introduction also signaled the comeback of Japan as an economic powerhouse after their destruction during WW2.

The cf card doesnt work in mine, does anyone out there no why. Thanks. It takes beautiful photo's , love it with the 58mm 1.4G

A great video thank you, you have a lovely collection of lenses. I'm slowly building a collection too, most to be used but a few early ones just for the collection. Can I ask you a question please, what do you clean your lenses with, they look so crisp and shiny. Thanks, Robert.

I notice in the comments that a lot of people have both an F and F2, as well as assorted Nikkormats and later Nikon 35's. Since we are talking about fifty plus year old manual cameras here, I think it's clear that we are all turned on by the tactile enjoyment of using these old cameras. They all have their quirks and limitations compared to modern digital cameras. That said, overcoming their limitations and making great photographs, like the folks who were using then a half a century ago, is what makes then so much fun and a challenge to use! Oh, great video!

At the moment I'm still using the D810 and I don't see the need to buy a Z. Even the D800 is very good. Thanks a lot Jules!

Where it always counts: lens quality and lens selection. Zuiko, all the way. I dumped my Nikon gear as the lenses were too bloody big, and, the company simply could not compete with the superb wide lenses that Olympus offered. I have Zuiko 16mm, 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm....all wonderful glass.

Thanks for the comparisons. On my ZF I also have a portrait impression balance option. This can be used to brighten up the skin tones without altering other parts of the image. Maybe playing with this as well as rich tone portrait will give you a jpeg look you like, or not haha. Lots of options these days!! Cheers

hmm.. no wonder the 9 blade version is more expensive..

IF you have access to film. They used to be available literally in every store. Now you got to search the web. And then you got to find a lab... And shell out big bucks. The battery for a DSLR is what the fim was to an SLR.

In bright sunlight the EVF of my Olympus eM10 is like looking into a black pit. That's why I went to OVF again. The 'touch-to-focus of the Olympus was great however.

I find the D700 is highly valued for its natural color reproduction and ease of editing. The D700 captures tonal transitions that I didn't see in other cameras. I also have a D3S but the results have nothing to do with it. Shooting in RAW on the D3S it is as if the photo had already been edited because there is a contrast, saturation, warmth that seems to be the result of an edit. On the other hand, on the D700 the RAW image is soft but with great capacity and margin for editing. I can edit a D700 photo to look like it was taken with the D3S but I can't do the opposite. I don't have the entire Nikon line of DSRL but I read comments from many who do and still maintain that there is nothing like the D700. Thank you Jules.

Nikkor all day

Brings me back to 1980 when I bought one new.

Thanks for this review, one of the few out right now. I notice that this lens is being sold along with some of the Z cameras as a kit on B&H. Interesting to think about why they're doing that.

helpful review, thanks for all the sample images. I do have both the 1.8 and the 1.4 z mount, and at least for now plan on keeping them both for different situations. For exceptional clarity, sharpness and detail the 1.8; for a more pleasing overall look (a bit less perfection, but to my eye better for portraits and other situations) then the 1.4. Colors are great on both, just slightly different. Think the 1.4 will probably be my default.

Excellent review. Still difficult choice between 1.8s and this. No clear winner. Wide open 1.8's do much better job and colors have more punch wide open. 1.4 image look more pleasing though. Having used 1.4 now would you recommend 1.4 or 1.8 as both are almost equally priced now

On a modern digital camera you cannot focus manually. Yes, you got the green dot, but you never now the AF sensor isn't fooled by a cobweb or a tiny twig in between. If you want to focus manually only a split image focussing screen is satisfactory and reliable. The standard lens. It is not 50 mm. The standard lens focal distance is the length of the diagonal of the sensor. So on FX, thr std lens is about 43 mm. BUT the lens optical formulas could not be solved for any focal length, back in the days without computers So they chose 50 mm for FX. A DX film (16x24 mm) has a diagonal of 29 mm, so a logical value for the std lens would be 30 or 35 mm. NOW you can come with the crop factor. The DX crop factor = 43 / 29 = 1.5 This is where it originates from. An FX lens projects an image circle of about 45 mm diameter. If you place a DX sensor under an FX image circle you only use the center part. So the angle of the used light cone changes. And so does the apparent focal length. And the amount of light received, also changes. The width of the subject at 25 meters (or feet) on FX = 900 / focal length. On DX that is 600 / focal length. Forget the angle of view. Use the W25. On my website I try to explain it more but I am not alloed to share links on the toob.

The days of film are long passed. In the old days every tobacci shop sold 20 types of film from 5 brands. Now you are lucky to find Ilford or Fuji. In the days we had no choice. Nowadays we have that choice. Don't go the way with exposing, developing, printing and waiting for a week to see the results. All under the presumption that no one goofed up in the processing. Film is for old men. Don't go that route. Even if your woke company says you must.

It depends where you live. I live in a densely populated rural area in Europe (Tilburg NL, look it up) so my walkaround lens is the 35 mm or the 24 mm. For a zoom, it would be the 18-35 on FX or the 12-24 on DX. Sometimes I walk around with the 15mm fisheye and never feel the urge to mount sumsin else.

AFD 24mm F2.8

Jules you do great reviews. I am debating between 50 1.4 vs 50 1.8s. Curious to know why you picked it over 1.8 which is better lens on paper. Looking forward to your review. Also once 85 1.4z comes out will you get that instead of 85 1.8s

My wife would kill me

This is a really special lens, hard to explain to people who haven't used it. I definitely look for `excuses` to use it. Best overall combination of bokeh, specular highlights, and smooth falloff of any lens I've used, including the most current Leica Summilux-M 35 and 50. The size is what it is, usually end up using it without a hood to try and reduce any concern from subjects.

Hum what I think after 7 months or 7 years … too expensive for me :))))

Picked one up for 25 bucks and it works like a charm. Probably the best camera buy I ever made

Hello sir, thanks for sharing this information, it's very good. I have a question, I can't connect Nikon PB5 bellows to my Nikon D810 because of the camera grip which is very thick. My question is, can I use a Nikkor M2 extension tube directly on the camera to gain some space between the bellows mount or do you think the mirror will be damaged? Because the M2 tube seems to be a bit long on the rear part and I'm a bit scared that the mirror might be damaged by touching the part that goes inside the camera. Thanks for your help. I await your response.

Hello Jules, I hope you are doing well! I have a D810 and 70-200mm f2.8E, 24-70mm f2.8G, 200-500mm f5.6E, and 85mm f1.4G - i don't need anything else, I just skip marketing tricks and try to do not get trapped in spending 💰 thousands of pounds on the camera and lenses for no need 🎉

HI, do you know if I can mount the Z9, with the FTZ adapter of course, on the bellow? There is enough clearance the vertical and horizontal grips? Thanks.

It's mi first camera, is great to finally found a video which teaches me how to really used it

I started out my return to Nikon 35mm film photography a couple of months ago with the trinity of lenses that I used back in the late sixties and early seventies during my time as a college photojournalist - a 50mm f1.4 non-Ai multicoated; a 28mm f2.8 Ai; and a 135mm f2.8 non-Ai. Vintage Nikkor lenses in great shape are available for good prices now, so I've added a 24mm f2.8 non-Ai multicoated and a 100mm f2.5 non-Ai multicoated to round out the lens collection.

Thank you! This is exactly the video that I was looking for. I have the 70-200 2.8 lens and I have been looking for a reason to invest in the teleconverter. 🙂

Same thing happened to me, I only had the D300 for about 8 months, when the D700 came out. I had to have it, and they are basically the same, I used both for years. Recently I sold the D300, but I’d buy another if I found a low shutter count body. …maybe a D300s!

Most helpful video I’ve seen thus far. So many just gloss over the little details.

Nice Video! The screens were fantastic. In combination with the very bright viewfinder and nearly 100% coverage, manual focusing was always very quick and precise! I happened to work with FE and FE2, with the K- and E-screens. Never missed Autofocus until it came along…

Hey Jules, that lens is on my personal road map when I upgrade to a Z8. I am glad to see that you think very highly of it.

The D700 has always been my favorite DSLR from Nikon. I also have the D100, D200 and D40x, they obviously don’t come close to the D700. It’s amazing how well they’ve held their value.

Gorgeous “dark sun” beach photos! Thanks for the review, Jules. I’m curious about the Z 14-24 S lens, have you used it?

Togally agree with you👍👍. I too bought this one against 24-120 & is very happy with it especially for travel photography. I'm now thinking about getting a 28-400. But i might still keep this one as my EDC lens and street photography. When a Z50ii comes , i might pair it with this lens and a Z 12-28 PZ VR 😊

thanks for this helpful and informative video. i'm in the market for a characterful wide angle vintage lens, will consider this one for sure. the Nikkor's always bring a unique vibe and color to images!

Amazing🤙👍👏🇦🇷

They ( B&H ) knew who they were shipping that lens to!!! Kudos to B&H and Congrats to Jules! Nice unboxing and first impressions Jules. Since I have the Nikkor S 50 f/1.8 lens already, I will pass, but I am really looking into that new 35 f/1.4! Things are tight right now. Just sent my 24-200 off to B&H for eval and a check. Will be cleaning house and a few more will be going there way. 😕 Take care and stay safe
