Nikon F4 - The F Word 

4:03 when you forget to close your incognito tabs in public

Lok's back!!

Accidentally met Kai in HK😂

I have been using the F4 as my main film body for the past 2 years and I could not be happier. Especially with the addition of the MB-23 multi-control back and a K-type focusing screen. It doesn't matter where or what my day of photography throws at me, because all the F4 does is give me answers to any problems I may come across. Most of the time I use mine for documentary photography in which I use both MF and AF lens. I have never had a major problem with the AF system on the F4, always seems to be spot on; especially when used in conjunction with the AF-L button. I could talk about it for a long while, so I will end it here. Hot, cold, rain, snow, and not yet used as a blunt object the Nikon F4 does it all!

Wohaaa. Chris from The Camera Store was shooting with F4 in their last video. not Ektachrome, but still :D

when the old crew meet up the magic happens

Nice to see everyone together again... Poor Rita.... Camera weighs more than she does... Great Job!

If you haven’t shot a few rolls of film with an F4, you’re missing out on one of the best film cameras ever made. The weight alone is like three or four digital cameras. It runs like silk. Can use every Nikon lens ever made.

Kai, this is why we all hooked into you - wacky, witty, someone else doing the filming, on the street, and with a camera in your hand. Other gadget reviews are okay, but cameras do it.

AWWW LOK AND KAI REUNITED SO LOVELY

Goosebumps! when Kai said Lok was filming this.. the feels from 2012!! hehe

Boy do I love this accent #speakingofwhich

Love Lok back filming. You guys really had a great thing going with Digital Rev. Not crazy about the vloggy self-shot stuff, better to have a filmer. Hope there is more of this type of thing.

'Dicks out for this beast cause it is packing heat'. Amazing.

Kai, Lok, Rita and Warren... this is more DRTV than DRTV nowadays. Really great to see all you guys together. Just need Alamby and Ian and we'll have ALL of the Warriors.

Ahh! The family is back!

Kai is so much more vibrant when Lok is around!!

Yeah man. I think we all needed this- It was awesome to see the group rekindling over some cool tech and some street photography. Well done! And thanks!

Dude, can I thank you? I love these videos. From the snarky, asshole insults on cameras, dissing them like an old friend, to giving me legitimate information. thank you, and you're camera person behind the scenes.

It's damn good to see all of you together again!

Nice review (Li-Wei would be proud), but: The Nikon F3 was already electronically controlled. The first metal vertical shutter was the Copal square back in the 1960's (about 27 years before the F4) and the grandfather of all pro SLR's is no doubt the Canon T90 from 1986.

DAMNIT HOW ARE PEOPEL SO QUICK?! I think I'm 10th again

I kept hoping to see Alamby. That would have made my day

I had that camera! the f4 is built like a tank and is one most incredible film camera I ever had. it weights allot, but back then thing were made better then now. the picture quality from this camera is outstanding. I sold the f4 and regret it after. I guess I'll buy it again!

I love these reviews of older cameras. I wouldn't mind seeing more.

Glad to see the whole gang together. #ganggang

That group shot at the end made me smile with joy.

Kai and Lok should do a series of classic camera reviews, I could watch those forever. Great work.

Now this is what we need to see more of. No more videos about silly smartphones and video tech thank you very much :-)

It's very nice to see reviews like this these days. Not just crappy digital shit.

This is the content we'd love to see! and it's good to see the crew back together

First TheCameraStoreTV and now Kai. Everyone loves the Nikon F4.

IT'S A RACE TO DO THE F5...

Kai and ThecamerastoreTV both make a video about the Nikon F4 the same week. A coincidence no? ;)

It is amazing to see you guys together again!!!! Two wizards of photography! The world love you guys!!!!!

Kai and Los back together again, all is right in the world.

So early quality isn't HD

"i think my brain is transitional" xD Magic with Lok is amazing :) I like everything you put on this personal channel though ^.^ Feels you are free to do what you want

Seeing this video in my feed was a gift; new video featuring Lok, street photography and in film?? Dream come true. I Love my F3, and I'm not a huge fan of AF Film SLR's, yet you still managed to convince me that I want one.

Started in news photography in 1970 and owned an F4s from 1989 until I moved to digital in 2006. The F4S was the best photography tool ever produced for a news photographer ever. My backup camera was an FM2. I only went through 2 F4S bodies in 18 years. Some days I would shoot up to 50 rolls of film. It was a reliable beast and my estimate each year I would shoot maybe 300,000 images. So do the math on the shutter count. It was the first camera where you could reliaby let it choose the right settings in P mode. I usually shot 400 asa film at 400/sec. In S mode this was set and forget. Autofocus was fast and reliable. IT was perfect for me. I used the bulletproof 28-70 2.8 and carried a 50 1.4 on the FM2. Yes it was heavy, but that and a bag of film was all I carried. The only digital Nikon I used after that was a D700. Thats was a great tool as well. The D3 was too big for me.

Kai, do a video with the original Canon EOS-1!!! or EOS 650 (30th anniversary) March 1987

I don't want to sound like a hipster piece of shit, but Prakticas had vertical metal shutters since the late 60s. My Praktica LTL, produced from 1970-75 has one, for example.

I've been taking street photography in Berlin and I picked this camera up can't wait to shoot thank you so much for your film

This video made me go out and get an f4s, I got it imported from japan. Its my first film camera and I have a few rolls through it already and I love it. Film photography is my new hobby

Shortly after TCSTV for Nikon F4 video!!!

LOK IS FILMING?!?!

Oh shit awsome> Just got one. Been shooting an F3 for years. Been in the industry since 1974 . Adaapted to digital to survive but film is my love and passion . digital is my survival.

It's like the good old days, but even better! ✌️

I almost cried when I saw Lok.

4:05 Epic moment. I want to see that facial expression in an endless loop.

Awesome! Like being back to classic DR with Kai and Lok - bliss!

Wow! Nostalgia!!! Reminds me of my Dad's old film camera from the 70's! Great look back at what photography was like before the digital age! Fantastic episode!

Which bag is he wearing?

I missed the Hong Kong streets.

You're filming with Lok!! So happy to see the corps back together again.

I own two F4s , one for real work and other just for canibalize parts if I need and I love it!!!!! Strong, heavy (as I like) and a formidable piece of engenering. Love it so much!

No, the Canon T90 was the template for all future SLR, DSLR's.

The F Word. So... Where's Gordon Ramsay? Ahahahah

Just bought an F4s here in the states for $60, It looks well used, for sure, but works like new. I remember lusting after the F4 when it came out. I never honestly thought I'd own one.

Having owned this camera, i can say one word: HEAVY.

If Kai had film from 1988 lying around (assuming it wasn't a joke), how old is the guy?

Thumbs up for the GTR @ 3:33

This video makes me nostalgic for the old days. Pure magic.

I owned one of these for 15 years. Never let me down once. The matrix metering with Provia 100 slide film was the best. Matrix with -1/3 stop and it was just perfect.

"Lee Wei (Leeway) is a Chinese dude" 😂

Am I missing something? The T90 preceded the 4 with a vertical shutter.

Kai, you're the man. I love that You're going to be doing analog cameras (although you and Tokyo camera hunter murder the used market when you say good things about a camera) You've inspired me to be more active in my photography. thanks

Owned one for years. Best camera ever made. Period.

Looks like good old DigitalRev

what brand is kai's backpack? looks cool

Kai and Lok together, instant like!

Love your channel, your sense of humour is bang on. Keep up the epic work. Have a great day

"Not much happened in 1988." Well, what about Ayrton Senna winning his first F1 World Championship against Alain Prost, recovering from the 16th position to the 1st position in 27 laps?🤔

FIRST

your voice and accent is really a great fit for tv ads

Team's back together. It's a wonderful sight.

Not first 😩😩😩

nikon is broke

Kai+Lok=Magic. Good to see the Old Crew Back!!

i loved this video. can't wait for the next!

Good to see everyone again

Hey quick question! I'm confused between RX10 III and G3X. We shoot car photography and videos, and there is already the RX100 IV in our equipment. Now, as RX10 III is twice the price of the G3X, I was wondering should I buy the RX10 III, or just stick with G3X.

Kai’s the type of person who would run a whole roll to test the continuous high, then get bothered after accidentally opening the back without rewinding.

Lok and Kai are back together....clap clap clap,,,,yeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Great to see the team back together - have to say: it makes a difference.. : ) Looking forward to see more f words!

One of my favorite videos of yours.

so good to see a video with kai shot by lok! it's 2012 all over again

Dear Kai, thanks for showing how to properly do a camera review the way it should

The dynamic duel back together again😁

so good to see the gang all back together

it is nice to see those good oldies are together.

glad to see you all back, guys!!

You guys are back together!!! Yaaaay!

I've been fairly lucky. I found a F4 body in great shape on Craigslist for $50 and an F5 for $157. I haven't used them much but they are beautiful pieces of machinery. I would buy one when they are cheap because these will disappear and I suspect will be very much in demand. When these cameras came out, there was no may that I could afford them.

Coming back after the Nikon F vid. Still amazing. ❤

I'm starting to suspect that it's no coincidence that virtually every photography RU-vid channel I'm subscribed to are doing Nikon F4 videos... -On the eve of Nikon's 100th anniversary... ;-)

The first camera with a metal vertical focal plane shutter was the Contax II from 1936. Nikon first began to use a metal vertical focal plane shutter in the Nikkorex F in 1962!

Great to see the old team together again, if only for one day. Lok's camera work was appreciated also- he has a great, steady style. ..Joe

This is SUPER DOPE! AnalogRev is back! So glad to see Kai working with Lok and Warren + Rita! There's only 1 missing piece here TBH. Alamby!

THE GOLDEN CREW!
