    Actually, the only good options are the round hoods because they let you use the original lens cap over them. All the others require special caps which are poorly designed (hard to use) and usually made of rubber. The problem with the round hoods is that they are not available anywhere in Europe any more, so, you should not throw away the plastic one that comes with the lens. It's not that terrible looking and it works fine with the original cap.

    This is the only company where I can quickly get a QBM to L mount adapter without shipping from China. Is the inside of that coated with non reflective paint? From various Pholsy photos I've looked at, it seems like it isn't.This is a must but it's easy to do yourself. I have done tests with this and the difference is noticeable. A non reflective coating kills most reflections. I also wonder how accurate the flange distance is. Most of these adapters are short to allow faulty lenses to work which is a bad idea. Unfortunately almost all of these adapters are not made the way they should be and require altering.

    • @nerwin
      @nerwin Před 28 dny

      I have two of these for different lens mounts for my Z mount and the inside of the adapter is flat black, it's not smooth, its ribbed like. But I used a flashlight and I don't notice any reflection. I think these are pretty good adapters, I never had an issue with them. I compared the lenses mounted natively and adapted and I couldn't tell much difference. But I am not sure about the QBM to L mount though. Hope this helps!

    • @ryanstark2350
      @ryanstark2350 Před 28 dny

      @@nerwin Yes, I noticed on their main page on Amazon that they coat the inside with non reflective. Since QBM to L is less common I couldn't buy K&F. However K&F have tiered out their adapters so that only the most popular adapters are the good ones now like how they used to make all of them. Maybe a blessing in disguise to test a different company if these Pholsy are better because they only have one range all the same build. I have ordered one. Next thing to see is if they wildly shorten the flange distance. K&F are often 0.1mm or 0.2mm short. That may not seem like a lot but it throws the lenses distance readings totally off.

      @@nerwin By the way. QBM is from Rollei's 35mm SLR cameras. I've ordered quite a rare Schneider Kreuzach Xenon 50mm f1.8 in QBM because the M32 version is impossible to find. Rollei had a lot of lenses from Schneider and Zeiss which are actually very similar the Contax Yashica Zeiss. I have two of the Contax Zeiss lenses but now they have been hyped to insane cost. Rollei QBM is very under the radar and Schneider are underrated. A few of my favourite lenses are Schneider. I even prefer them over Zeiss but they didn't make that many different lenses and stopped photo lenses in the 70s. Their last versions in the 70s are spectacularly good. Now Schneider only make cine lenses. As for Yashica. A brilliant lens is the little 5cm f2 Auto Yashinon. Ken Wheeler (Angry Photographer) caused that lens to become very hard to find but it's available again.

      If you want Contax Yashica Zeiss. The 28mm f2.8 Distagon and the 50mm f1.7 Planar are still good buys. The Distagon is a very good lens for landscapes. Very vibrant colours, especially greens. The 50mm f1.7 is their budget 50mm but very good. A little soft wide open like all Planars but beautifully smooth rendering. I think this lens is the best bargain lens there is considering the quality. The f1.4 variant is too expensive. The trouble now is that you can't build a set of Contax Yashica Zeiss because some of them are insane cost. Zeiss Classics are the way to go to build a set. If you get the ZF2 versions of those and have a Nikon, they are chipped so supply info to the camera if you have the F to Z mount adapter. The Classics are not cheap but if you consider the insane initial cost, they are now cheap.

    Went into my local camera shop today to buy an F100 that they had and turns out it sold right before I got there. Ended up buying an N90 and I must say, wow! I’m very impressed with it so far. The viewfinder is a joy to look through and the 90’s styling is really growing on me. It also feels like a tank, in a good way.

    • @nerwin
      @nerwin Před měsícem

      @@avcle it's a really solid camera and often overlooked. I mean the F100 has some features than the N90s doesn't like selectable focus points and the ability to use AF-S in all modes along with VR whereas the N90s is limited in that regard. The biggest issue with the N90s is the sticky back haha, it's harder to clean than the F100. Something to be aware of with the F100 is the plastic door latch, they break. The N90s is metal 😎 The one I showed in this video I just sold it recently. I probably should have kept it but it wasn't something I was going to use much. It didn't deserve to sit in my drawer months at a time. Enjoy the camera man!

    I have about the same noise issue with my new **MX Master 3S** for Chinese market. But the old one is good. So it's definitely a factory defect (bad сhinese assembly). Also if I don't scroll the wheel hard enough, it looks like it goes to free scrolling, but without actual triggering to free scrolling, and thus most of the scrolling is not triggered, ie ignored. So this results in fake free scrolling. ## And i found one thing: For anyone who has encountered this problem, I recommend a simple test: - flip the mouse upside down and spin the wheel. If the noise disappears - you need to disassembly the mouse, tear down the wheel and find a way to fix it back so that it presses better against the top of the mouse. In my case, if I flip the mouse over and spin the wheel - the noise and fake free scrolling is gone. This is indicative of a factory defect, the wheel mount loosens up quickly.
