Hi hi hi there!
I am back with a video, i started before spring arrived. ^^
In this kind of videos, I try to test some of my many many cameras and check them for working condition and also decide wether, i will keep it or not.
Today I test the Nikon F-301 a basic entry level 90s film camera with a lot of functions and which i find to be a great beginners camera. But be careful with your nose.
So buckle up and enjoy the video, because it gets bumpy on the ride. ;)

    The TTartisan 6bit M to Z adapter achieves the same thing but for less money. You just have to convert your vintage lenses to Leica M mount instead of E mount.

      Oh wow! I just saw, that’s the ttArtisan Adapter also has a Focal length ring on the side. That could make the Ibis a lot easier to use than with beta Firmaware and Neewer adapter. I will definitely check this out. Thanks. ! ☺️

    Hey man, thanks for the tip, now i can confirm focus on my old gear! I just cant seem to find the way to update the firmware though The updater software seem to only recognize strobes and flashes, even though i have the adapter connected and the 2.7.0 version downloaded But it seems that this version is not so good? I am on the 2.5.4 so far :/

    • @manugeee
      @manugeee Před dnem

      Your welcome. :) I had just to place the firmware file on the adapter via the connection cable as flash drive. After placing it and putting the adapter back on the camera, the firmware was updated. I have heard, that IBIS should make problems, with 2.7.0, so I did not test it anymore. At the moment, I am using it only with 50mm lenses, so it is okay. But when I need to change the focal lenght, then It would become anoying.

    Thank you! I'am used in the Minoltas lenses but I own a Nikon FM3a with a 50 f1.8 and I wander if the f1.4 was much better , what do you think It is worth changing it to the f1.4 ?

    • @manugeee
      @manugeee Před 10 dny

      This should be strongly depending on which 50mm 1.8 you have. There is the Series E, which should be very bad, but there is also a pancake version, which was only made for the japanese market and this is at least on par, maybe also a little better wide open. But the 50mm 1.4 is a really good lens. Still my favourite and the FM3a is a great camera. As a matter of fact I am just working on a video to the japanese version, so stay tuned. It will be released somewhen in the next 2-3 weeks. :)

      Ja, das ist wirklich seltsam. Werde ich auch weiterhin wohl eher weniger machen. Ich hab noch n Paar ähnliche Videos vorbereitet, in denen ich auch ne ganze Zeit lang durchgequatscht habe. Aber ich glaube, ich schneide mir die alle zu einer kleinen Sequenz zum Bilder zeigen und mache ein extra Fazit. Ich glaub, ich hab jetzt Kameratechnisch alles durchprobiert. ;-) Die OM1 hab ich, wie gesagt, auch (und die OM2n ;-)) aber ich tendiere im Moment allerdings dazu, dass ich meine Nikon FM2 behalte und von Pentax kann ich mich noch nicht trennen... Die Pentax ME Super ist ne echt kleine und halb automatische OM1 Konkurenz gewesen. Und da ich so viel Pentax Glas habe, bleibt die erstmal. Meine K2 habe ich auch erst durch Sucher Kreuztausch wieder benutzbar gemacht. Da war die Silberbeschichtung vom Spiegel durch alten Schaum kaputt. ... Oh je... Kameras wieder los werden, ist nicht leicht. ;-P Schönes Wochenende zurück. :)

      Phew! I don´t know, what you need. I tested Nikon F lenses with the nikon FTZ adapter. That works fine. The 50mm f1.4 is maybe a litle slow as a lens, but I dont now the Otis lenses and I have no idea, if they work on the ETZ adapter. With AF, I would say: Better get Nikon F Mount glass and adapt, or go directly on the Z mount.

    This is great but why does the Nikon Z to F adapter not do this then - when it's clearly possible?

    • @manugeee

      I also have no Idea, but it seems not to be too complicated. The FTZ adapter only makes green boxes with CPU lenses.

      From what I have gathered, it's because the PDAF system actually needs to know exactly what lens is attached. (focal length and distance to sensor) for the AF system to properly work. With the chipped Nikon F lenses, this is possible, because the FTZ adapter transports this information to the camera. Interestingly enough, the AF Confirm green box does not work with all chipped lenses for Nikon F mount. For some reason, some lenses don't transmit all the relevant data. I've used unchipped vintage glass on my Canon DSLR using lens adapters with Dandelion chips and never had any issues with focus accuracy (after programming the af adjustment in camera) I honestly cannot imagine how the ON-Sensor PDAF could be any worse than a separate AF chip in a DSLR. It doesn't need to be 1000% accurate either. Just give us the green box instead of stupid focus peaking. Ideally, with any unchipped X-to-NikonZ adapter, so we can set the focal length and max aperture of the lens in the camera menu (for IBIS to work properly, too)

      Hmm... Maybe not that bad Idea. Let the people discuss in the comments. :D i will think about that for season 2. :) Unfortunately, I already exported all the other videos and have to change them again. But for 10 videos it is easily doable. :D

    I did the same and unfortunately the two adapters got jammed together so both adapters are ruined. (luckily not the lens) I suspect it might be due to the slim eject mechanism on the EtoZ adapter failing. To those who want to do this, beware of the risks.

      You mean, you cant remove the Neewer adapter from the "Other-to-Sony" Adapter when pushing the knob up? I also do not like the Neewer release mechanism that much, but I had no Problems with releasing it, so far. Did you contact Neewer?

    Lot of sellers on eBay sell this as part of their LeicaFlex or R-series camera set, so you can hunt for discount, sell the camera (if you want to), and be left with this lens for under Eur 200 (mine has cost me effective Eur 60). It's a great lens; it's singlehandedly responsible for making me sell all my AF lenses and switch exclusively to R manual lenses. Of course vintage lenses are not perfect, and to add to that, I don't ever use Lightroom or any other editing software (just a slider here and there on my MacBook photos app). I am very happy with its character and always pick up my camera when I take out my dog for a walk (something I never did with my AF lenses). I guess that's all that matters: if a lens makes you shoot more, it's worth it. PS.: I use the Leica SL2-s and the only drawback I can think of is that the camera doesn't allow for AEL lock with manual lenses. But that's a camera bug, not the lens' fault. PPS: I am not qualified enough to judge a lens purely on its performance, which anyways is very subjective. I need to know the price I'm getting it at.. :) I love this lens, in big part, because I got it so cheap, and discovered it so accidentally (I was looking for a film camera, not a lens).

    • @manugeee

      That is also often my trick. Buy a camera with lens, if you only want one of these. Got the Canon 100D this way, back in the days for only 35€, when it was worth 15 times the price. :D
