Pushing Yourself for Better Photos at Pictured Rocks NL
I agree, I used it on plane. Nikon D3s + F4 5x lenses & 2x flash I have the old bluish gray but now tan. Good enough to have a few for at home safe store in cupboard.
Domke pronounced Dom Key....
The Domke F3X and F2 are some of the best camera bags ever made. I have had mine for 30 + years and they may look beat up, they fulfill their function perfectly. They were designed by a photographer, for photographers.
Anyone knows where i can buy that metabones speedbooster? can't find it available anywhere..!
It's on Metabones website: www.metabones.com/products/details/MB_SPMD-X-BM3
@@NationalParksArtist Yeah did see that one, thats the ultra version.. i meant the cheaper one:p
@@NationalParksArtist Question.. if i buy the fotodiox version will it focus to infinity or is it a loss cause?
@@pavts5605 Ah. My guess is the only way to find the old one is to come across one second hand on eBay.
@@pavts5605 I've been able to focus to infinity with it.
some good tips. Not what I thought it was going to be though. Considering your calling it photographers guide, maybe a few shots of some maps & a few more photos would of been nice. Still pretty good. Subbed.
Thanks for the input and the sub! I've been trying to rethink these a bit. It's hard to do a whole park in one video, and to be honest it's hard for me to know in super-great detail all of each park, so I've tried to go for the 30,000 foot view. I'm thinking what I need to work on is guides for sub-sections of parks, and then be able to include more images and maps as you're requesting.
@@NationalParksArtist No big deal. You might get more views. If I was gonna go , I would research online, & maybe buy a guide. Enjoy & stay safe.
Very helpful video, will definitely be using these tips in the Smokies this spring! Also, I was wondering where the photo behind you was taken. Was that in the Smokies? It looks like the rocks create some awesome framing for that shot.
Glad it was helpful! The photo behind is from Stony Man Mountain in Shenandoah National Park.
@@NationalParksArtist Awesome! Thanks for letting me know!
I have these 3 lenses also and they are great.
I have the x-t3 18-55mm 55-200mm Would like the 10-24mm or a wide prime
I'm a big fan of the 10-24. The Fuji primes are great, but the widest is 14mm, and I personally like the ability to go wider than that.
As a photojournalist the F2 bag worked great back in the day with my two Nikon F2's and five lens' along with extra shirts and socks.
I think it’s dual zone is very complicated... love Rolex type of it!!!
...really?
I used Domke for years F5 and F8 which were original designs. Weddings for 25 years
Stumbled on your videos and started watching, but I noticed that you haven’t uploaded one in about 10 months. Have you given it up? Your videos are informative.
Hi Jerry. Thanks for watching and for your comment. I do hope to make videos again. I need to find a way to reduce the time they were taking me. I have a small child, so that has sort of sapped my free time! I do have a new, much faster computer coming, which should speed up editing considerably, and I need to do more prepping ahead so that the videos are easier to put together. Hopefully some new videos soon. Thanks again!
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Malcolm Zaid instablaster ;)
@Chance Alfredo i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Chance Alfredo it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my ass !
Domke are good but billinghams are better
Oh Yeah, I have 7 of the F2 bags, and One of the F1X bag as they are very Durable!! and last I also have the Domke Satchels 3 of them in which I use those to carry my Laptops, and still I love the Domke Made in the USA, and not to say that they come in different colors, Cotton Web Canvas, Lightweight, and as for the Billinghams Made in the Jolly Old England, That They Are F*#King Expensive, and they are HEAVILY PADDED that you cannot fit most of your gear, and last that bag should have a sticker that saids "MUG ME" ... GO DOMKE MADE IN THE USA!!! I Love them...
Great review !!!! Thanks:)
bla bla bla
Please could you tell us where did you brought that strap ??
It's been a while since I bought that, but I think it was this one: www.holbensfinewatchbands.com/fluco-chrono-nabucco-leather-black/ I'd also note that I've given up on the Orient deployant clasp, as it popped open on me too many times.
I still use my Domke F2 that I got back in 1986. To say these bags are well built is an understatement.
I'm jealously watching him look at his notes. A PDF shot list with tips and more info would be greatness. I'd actually love to have a photographers book to buy (hint, hint...). I am headed to The Grand Canyon if you want to "throw" together a book for me! :-)
Loved this video! So very helpful.
do you have a link for that strap?
Hi,did you get link to buy this strap??

Excellent Work,great video
Great video
Want one
way too much talking, not nearly enough phtography
Minolta abandoned MD / MC mount back in 1985., thus some MF lenses was produced until 2001 I think - for X-300 and X-700 cameras still in production. The last AF Minolta was produced in 2005, thus called Konica - Minolta at the time. The company,s camera division was bought by Sony next year, in 2006. Hope this helps...
Great review, please keep it up!
Love my Domke (which is pronounced Domkey like Donkey, not Domka)... I switched theDomke snaps with some snaps recycled from old dog leads which are easier to handle with one hand). BTW: the best accessory for this bag (or any over the shoulder bag) is the Domke FA-031 Post Office Style Shoulder Pad. This really makes carrying the gear easy and it doesn't slip off the shoulder...
wow, i luv the way how the world timer on this watch works! I just wish it comes in 40mm and a little bit sporty BTW, good job on the review
Orient watches are awesome! I bought a 300 Pro Saturation Diver and love it. In my opinion the best watch you can buy for the money. i reviewed it too but my opinions might be a bit controversial !!!
i guess Im kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to stream new tv shows online ?
@Colson Mark flixportal :D
@Jalen Trent thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it !!
@Colson Mark Glad I could help =)
pretty watch, nice review!
Excellent video, articulately put without hyping. You've echoed my first thoughts about this camera which I am now going to purchase. The manual controls & price are very attractive.
Hi what is your wrist size and the lug to lug length of the watch? I really love the look of the watch but I'm afraid it might be too big for my 6.75" wrist. Very close to pulling the trigger on this watch.
My wrist is 6.75" or maybe just a touch larger. I do think I have one of those wrists that's a bit wider and flatter than average. I tend to be able to get away with pretty big watches if I want to. I believe the lug-to-lug for this watch is 50mm. With a not overly thick case and the fairly thin lugs I don't think if wears quite as big as its 43.5mm case size might seem.
Yes it seems to fit you perfectly. Thanks for the info!
Great video. I am debating whether to buy this watch. I own four other Orients, and I love the brand. I am simply impressed that one can get a world time for $300. I am seriously considering this watch, and your video really helps.
Glad the video was helpful! If your wrist can handle the larger case size, it's a really great watch. I've had mine for a year now and I love it more now then when I got it.
Great video. It would have been helpful to see a map of the areas you were talking about but as is this was great.
Hi Kurt. Thanks for a reply. That's a good idea, I'll keep it in mind.
Thanks for replying. From the perspective of someone who hasn't visited the park yet but is contemplating that...your review provided a tremendous amount of useful information..visually I just couldn't "see" the general areas you were talking about. I'll come back to this video when I am ready to visit the park.
I too am getting ready to visit the park for photo opportunities. Will definitely take your info into consideration. Will reply once I've returned in November!
thanks for this video. I recently "inherited" a minolta xk/XM/X1 and srt101 with a bunch of rokkor lenses. I also currently use a Fuji X-Pro2. although I was interested in getting back into film for fun, this minolta collection I've been recently handed should certainly facilitate such an endeavor. I also started to think about adapting these lenses for use with my Fuji X-Pro2. was debating whether to go with a simple very inexpensive adapter and use with the crop factor or a speed booster and get it closer to 35mm full frame performance. I would really like the metabones one, but I'm not sure I'm prepared to spend more than the mid $400s one cost. I've seen some much less expensive speed boosters for about $70-80, but the reviews on them are mixed and leaning towards less than encouraging... either the IQ isn't all that, even in the center and/or not all rokkor lenses will work on them.. either wide angles are an issue or many can't adjust the aperture ring for some reason without some modification to the lens... I don't know?.. I'd probably try and spend the right money for the metabones cause it's probably the best.. but, for now, I think $20> for a straight plain md-fx adapter will probably do just fine.
Where did you get the strap? Model name/number? It's a great match IMHO. Nice review. I went with Black and 45% off.
It's been a while since I bought that, but I think it was this one: www.holbensfinewatchbands.com/fluco-chrono-nabucco-leather-black/ I'd also note that I've given up on the Orient deployant clasp, as it popped open on me too many times.
Great review! I just picked up a used X-Pro1 for really cheap, and I'm thinking of resurrecting my old MD lenses. Does using the adapter with the glass element compromise image quality? Resolution in particular? Thanks!
Love the design, but really disappointed in the choice of mov't. The Polaris GMT is roughly the same price, but has hacking/hand-winding. Two very important features for a GMT/power res watch, imo. (I'm guessing the date wheel is the problem. But, I'd take hacking/handwinding over it any day. Esp if they place the date window at the 6)
I get what you're saying. For me, the lack of hacking and hand-winding isn't that big of a deal, but for some people (like yourself) it is. I prefer the world time function of the Adventurer to the GMT function of the Polaris GMT, but it's nice to have options. Orient also make the Explorer and Voyager models, which have a date wheel like the Adventurer with a Dual Time wheel that appears to function similarly to the Adventurer's world time wheel. These watches are hackable (though apparently not hand-winding) and also have signed crowns and rotors. They also cost $100 to $150 more after discount, so one is paying for the upgrades, but they are improved, and conceivable these improvements could be applied to an Adventurer-like watch. Honestly, I wouldn't be one bit surprised to see an upgraded Adventurer with all of these upgrades in the future, which would be compelling. I just got back from my first international trip with my Adventurer, so now it has history with me and I wouldn't want to "start over" with a new model, but if they do upgrade as they have with the Mako and Ray, that would be very nice.
NationalParksArtist Did not know about the Voyager/Explorer. Anyway, I can't disagree. But, it's a personal disappointment. Like you say, many people don't mind (usually people with heaps of quality watches already, or people new to watches who don't sweat the technicalities). The Mako USA 2 is an instant buy for me. In house Jp mov't with hacking/hand-winding AND day/date, for under $250USD? I'm sold.
@kt222 orient relaunch this watch with hack movmnt, its on orientcwatch usa channel
Sir, a very informative review of the Dome products! As a Fuji X-System photographer as well, to travel light, I am considering the F-5XB to supplement the Tenba DNA 11 and ThinkTANKPhoto Urban Disguise 50 Classic that I currently use. I look forward to seeing your National Parks Trail recommendations!
I have the same domke model. And it is expensive, its not watertight and it has minimal shock protection. I found Mafrotto and Lowepro bags much better for photography. But again, mostly I don't like domke for a lack of shock protection.
I meant all of this for F-5x model
Be sure to put Big Bend National Park on your list to visit.
Just bought one today off of eBay. Should I be worried about the shutter count? The seller was not able to provide me with that info and I am afraid it might be on the high side.
There's not really any way for me to evaluate that since I can't see the camera. I hope you get a good camera and many years of use out of it.
great explanations and tips! I live in Europe but as a landscape photographer, your video inspires me to visit this place one day
+Jasper van Berkel Thanks! You really should go if you get the chance, it's beautiful!
Thank you, very informative video, please keep reviweing the lenses.
Nice video! keep it up! ;)
So I just have to subscribe to the Orient USA newsletter to find about deals and discounts?
+R. K. Vis Yes. There may be other deals out there as well, but they give discount codes for various promotions through their e-mail newsletter all the time. For instance, I got mine 40% off during a Valentines Day promotion I saw on their e-mail. In November they had a 50% off special.
I would recommend it. Pass the watch also has killer Orient deals
Thanks a lot for the review. I want to buy this watch, but would like to see a review first, and this is the only review I could find. For sub-U$500 watch, I think this is a really nice piece. Thanks again!
+Dody Suratman Thanks for the comment. I think it would be hard to go wrong with this watch, enjoy it!
I agree with your review of the terrific Fuji X-E1. I just bought one new on eBay for $287 with free shipping from a very reputable site in Hong Kong. I received the camera in four days which I thought was amazing. I wanted a second body as a companion to my X-Pro1. The X-E1 is its little brother and coming from an XP1, it took no time at all to set up the X-E1. I use the wonderful Fuji 14 2.8 and 35 f2 on it and it produces great IQ. The X-E1 is the best deal going now, a fantastic bargain for an excellent camera.
