#Nikon ne 100 manual manual#

I know, I know,вЂ¦Nikon F100, F5 and F6 had some really cool additions. The Nikon F4 was, and probably still is, the most modern and innovative film camera Nikon ever produced. Nikon F4s and 35mm f/2 В© Federico Mastrianni Sometimes I think things have gotten overly complicated over the years. In fact, NikonsвЂ™ oldest thyristor flashes work well in A mode. I donвЂ™t bother with pre-AI because of lack of electronic metering, but they are usable.ДЇlash systems go back to NikonsвЂ™ original TTL, but D-TTL and iTTL work fine.

With AI and AIs lenses, (yes, you can use almost all Nikon lenses), you get manual and aperture-priority. Of course you get manual, aperture-priority, shutter-priority, program modes. I find that Enloops eliminate the need to be concerned in heavy shooting situations. On the вЂsвЂ™ model, there are 3 AA batteries in grip and 4 AA in motor drive (battery pack) for a total of 7! However, battery life is stupendous considering the era. (including Matrix meteringВ with AIВ manual focus lensesвЂ¦missing on F5) You have Spot, Center Weighted, and what was fairly new then, Matrix Metering. Some people say in daylight the finder LCD is hard to read, but I donвЂ™t find that to be true. Although I did insert a J screen, which does a better job when manually focusing.ДЄlso, great eye relief. If youвЂ™re using AF lenses, itвЂ™s fast and accurate. ThatвЂ™s a lot of light! Of course it has a great range adjustable diopter, and if you canвЂ™t get it adjusted to your vision,вЂ¦.uhhh,вЂ¦youвЂ™re blind. No wonder Ellen von Unwerth liked using the manual focus 50mm f/1.2 on both her F4 and F5. The standard DP-20 finder with B screen is the brightest AF screen ever made, and even brighter, (and 100%}, than many of NikonsвЂ™ manual focus models. The finder is the brightest and clearest in the biz. (itвЂ™s actually a battery pack, not a motor drive) And the motor drive on the base of the вЂsвЂ™ is almost an unnoticeable appendage that melds into the body like no other motor drive/winder. We are.Д®very single backward and forward compatible lens & flash work, (almost), even surpassing the revered F5 in that respect. If you are coming from an FE2 or maybe a Leica, youвЂ™ll assume the users of this camera are вЂinsaneвЂ™. But itвЂ™s nice you can change battery packs at any time. With the MB-20 grip, it drops down to 4FPS. But you could use an MB-20 grip to make it much lighter. The вЂњsвЂќ, like the вЂњeвЂќ, were just high speed versions. But it became my favorite because there is almost no old or new flash you cannot use. Some critics say it was NikonsвЂ™ вЂњtransitionвЂќ camera as all Nikon cameras became electronic. Although the digital era Nikon D3, D4 and D5 are based on an F5, the F4 is a very good setup for people who like dials rather than thumb wheel controlled LCDвЂ™s. The F4, F4E & most popular Nikon F4s is not just probably the best laid out of all cameras, (Sorry Canon), but even, dare I say, perfect. And greatest weapons of choice in a less than friendly environment. If you have ever used a Nikon F4 (still my camera of choice), youвЂ™ll know itвЂ™s still considered one of NikonвЂ™s greatest achievements.
