@paulsteunenberg5617 hi, it does work, but it is harder to do thanks it should be. Trying again carefully, and after a few attempts, you should succeed
Those old camera lens also do not have the cut out for when minimum small aperture is set also known as EE potion to allow for auto aperture setting. So if you have no aperture pin like on the D 70 you still cannot mount a non AI lens because the FEE pin will also be damaged. it is at the 8 o'clock position.
I have it, I love it for what it is. It is an artistic tool. The softness and slow apertures gets me very vintage looks, weights nothing, and makes a GM1 or GM5 pocketable.
By far the best video for the 1000s. Thank you! Chris I have a AE prism but it’s not the shutter priority one. I purchased it off eBay all it has is ASA dial and a “on/off” switch on the right side. It does have a meter but not to sure if there’s a manual for it. This isn’t the one I wanted to get like you have. Any help?
Watching this in 2024. I ended up buying a GF6 for around 90 USD as a last-resort backup 1080p talking head camera. I'm enjoying the GF6 a lot more than I thought I would! It still holds up for photography, and for very basic talking head style video on a tripod, it can get the job done. =)
Thank you, Monsieur! Great information but I am tired now from standing on my head:) trying to get the orientation of my camera to match up with yours. I am looking forward to taking mine out tomorrow to try it out!
Your "title" and premise are wrong and deceptive. I mount old manual focus lenses to my D800, D850, D3200, etc. with absolutely no problems. The camera's "autofocus" must be set to "Manual" for the easy mounting and dismount of each lens. No problem. No disaster. No repairs. - Maybe you should "re-do" your video and make a "correct" one for all people to see, including yourself!
Nowhere in the video I says that manual lens cannot be mounted on digital SLRs. I am warning you that the oldest od Nikon SLr lenses, before the Ai générations, Can damage the Ai sensing ring on cameras that are equipped with one ( not the D3200 but the D800 and D850). Maybe you should watch and listen carefully to a video before making such comments.
I have several non AI lenses in Nikon mount/t mount. They work. You must set the autofocus to M (manual). And the lenses I have tried will all attach to and come off of D3200, D800E, D850, D610. Is this "much ado about nothing"????? I think so.
D100 and D 60 D 70 D 80 and D 90 have pins that will be damaged. Newer camera designed for type G lens with no aperture on the lens will not have problems but then you cannot control the aperture of the old lens with the camera.
I just bought this camera and the previous owner changed the zoom switch into a metering switch to change the colors quickly. I can’t seem to restore it back to the zoom feature.
This is a great travel lens, it is really sharp, tiny, and inexpensive. The only issue I has is at temperature, when it gets below zero the lens does not retract and error messages are shown. When the temperature gets above zero it works fine. Not a big issue as the lens is ideal for travel.
one tip, that kaiser copy stand has another function, if you take the camera bracket off, it is an enlarger stand, that's what the grid on the table is for, and why the mast is so high, so you can enlarge 120 or 4x5" negatives.
I just got used GF6, turned out 6112 frames, thanks so much for your effort, can't wait to return back to photography hope GF6 will be a good restart for me!
Enfin j'ai réussi à batterie sur ce menu. Ils auraient pu penser aux personnes qui n'ont que deux mains. J'ai acheté un appareil d'occasion , du coup bien contente de voir qu'il n'a pas bcp été utilisé. Par contre je me demande, la première date en appuyant sur display correspondrait à la date de premier allumage ? Merci pour la vidéo en tout cas
Thanks, yes, i couldn't believe it, i was watching it for 5 days, no-one was bidding for it, so i jumped in the car to drive 1.5 hours to pick it up. I also have a Cambo UST stand and the FOBA (which looks like it's about 30 years older) is a much, much better stand. If i ever see another one for this price, i'll pick it up and get rid of the Cambo.@@thatfrenchbloke8892
Great tip to keep it exposed to air. So annoying, to pay so much money for something and then have this sticky problem. And glad to know absolutely how to remedy the problem.
If you have this camera as your first venture into the medium format world, this video is all you need. All others seem to make too many assumptions about prior knowledge. Thank you, you've filled in all my missing knowledge! :D
bravo, great review ;) It's a great lens for the bmpcc og , because it really makes it a pocket camera ;) I use this x vario 14 42 when passing by Paris few months ago and a friend of mine graded it : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xwzZ1ZWuk-c.html&ab_channel=iso800
This is a very clear and instructive video, it's definitely helping me decide what I want for a Medium format SLR. been looking at old Soviet designs, the Pentax 645, the Mamiya 645 and the Bronica, currently leaning towards the Mamiya in terms of the balance of quality and price.
Thanks, I am glad you found it usefull. In my experience, soviet cameras are are great to use when they works. But tend to brake down very easily. Go for one of the japanese make you mentionned, and I don't think you will be desapointed.
I've this lens, the one I have is one of the first released and is white, it was part of a white GF1 kit. It's a nice, and very small. I prefer the 14mm 2.5 for its more compact size but I like this one for its versatility.
I got this camera after my venerable GF3's screen started to die, I bought a replacement screen but I swapped this camera for an old Canon 35-70 lens with a friend, he is not really happy with the lens as it's a very old kit one and I'm very happy with this camera.
It works well with my GX9 despite my fat fingers on those small buttons. I'm glad this camera I bought used at a great price doesn't have too many shootings.....only 1252 Thanks for the video.
