Hello, everybody! There are many classic movies that were remade in the past couple of years. Some were good only the majority is rubbish, never surpassing the originals in terms of affect and reception. I call up information technology's unnecessary to do remake bang-up movies such as Ghostbusters and Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory because I consider them to exist "perfect" merely The Fly benefitted from an overhaul. Today, I'll testify you one such "remake", dissimilar Ghostbusters this lens had to exist updated and resulting lens is a lot improve than the original. Read the whole article to know more most information technology.
Introduction:
The Cinematics-Nikkor 25mm f/1.4 is an upgrade of the older Cine-Nikkor 25mm f/1.4 with the smaller, old-style barrel. Information technology has new optics and the barrel is now similar to the concurrent models such as the Cine-Nikkor 10mm f/1.8. I don't know when this was made but I assume that production ran from 1962 upwardly to an unknown date. It's difficult to date these because at that place's no data available. The only information available are from leaflets and at that place are no dates available. Regardless, information technology's apparent that the older Cinematics-Nikkor 25mm f/ane.iv had to exist replaced for an unknown reason and this lens replaced information technology in the catalogs. It'southward the premium option for a "normal" lens for the 16mm format and information technology gives a field-of-view shut to 67mm if you were to consider its ingather-factor. Ingather-gene is a rather new concept, people who shoot movies don't even recall of it. It may sound like a super-fast lens but information technology's sort of mediocre for this format and it'due south not unusual to find lenses with an f/1.2 discontinuity for shooting with 16mm.
The barrel is built like most C-mountain Cine-Nikkors, it's solid and feels substantial despite being tiny. These were popular lenses so it's not unusual to find these with scratches and heavy-wear. The scales are easy-to-read and yous volition need to rely on this when you shoot this with a 16mm photographic camera. Focusing precisely without looking through-the-lens can exist difficult but you'll get used to information technology.

Howdy, everybody! Do you remember Bobby Goldsboro's sometime vocal "Honey"? It's a sentimental song nearly a man missing his lover named "Honey" who left him when her fourth dimension came unexpectedly. Information technology'south a favorite song of many people merely some think that it's stupid due to this being a country vocal with unproblematic, corny lyrics. I personally loved it and I occasionally sing that at the karaoke. There are many things in life that split our opinion. Today, I'll prove you a lens that some people love simply some people hated it. And merely like "Dearest" I think it'due south "kind of dumb and kind of smart", besides. Yous'll know later why I made that remark so please read the whole article advisedly.
Introduction:
This version of the Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm f/2.8 was made from 1964 to 1967, information technology is called "zebra" by many people because it has a barrel that has striped rings. Unlike the older Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm f/2.viii Tessar the iris could exist actuated automatically but it now only has a 6-bladed iris instead of the circular i of the older versions including the semiautomatic version. This lens used to exist the best 50mm Tessar of its time and it was nicknamed "adler auge" or "eagle-centre" considering its sharpness. While I call up that the older version sort of cruel-curt in this regard I think this one truly lived-up to that nickname and y'all volition run across why before long.
The build is typical of Carl Zeiss Jena lenses from this era significant information technology's all-metal. the engravings are easy-to-see but the depth-of-field scale seems to be rather vague because they're non colour-coded different what we're used to seeing with Nikkors. The aluminum barrel feels nice and it also helps to go on this light but it is however quite substantial when you concord it and not flimsy at all. At that place's a small tab at the base which you lot're able to depress in social club to stop the iris down for depth-of-field preview or metering through-the-lens.

It is something that we all have to accept living in such a quake-prone area. Today, I'll show you something that is so tough that it could withstand a lot of punishment and just most of the physical buildings here. I am glad to know that this i will survive a natural ending and then long as information technology has null to do with water and existence soaked with it.

Introduction:
The Zoom-Nikkor 50-300mm f/four.v ED Ai was sold from 1977 to 1982. The afterward simply similar-looking Zoom-Nikkor 50-300mm f/4.5 ED Ai-S replaced information technology in 1982 and it was made until 1999. It one replaced the older Zoom-Nikkor 50-300mm f/4.5 Auto which is 1 of Nikon's almost impressive super-zooms from the 1960s. Compared to the Zoom-Nikkor 50-300mm f/4.5 Auto this one has a shorter, stockier barrel and its optics are much ameliorate in terms of performance thanks to the inclusion of ED glass. Both lenses are heavy, big and imposing. Information technology's hard to observe a lens of this class that will print or intimidate your subjects and clients. It's ane of Nikon'south best lenses from the all-manual era and information technology sort of acquired a legendary status amongst photo journalists and people who shoot sports, you volition run into why in this article.
This is a massive lens, it's definitely going to get out your arms sore afterwards a 24-hour interval's work. The barrel does non change length when you zoom unlike the older Zoom-Nikkor l-300mm f/4.5 Auto.

Hello, everybody! Practice you know "Saizeriya" or サイゼリヤ? It's a Japanese eating house chain that serves the cheapest Italian nutrient y'all'll notice anywhere. Information technology'south cheap and the quality of the food is great for its cost. I am a huge fan of this chain because they offer very skilful value and the ambient is like a family-restaurant. I also run into young couples dating here then it says a lot about their target market place. Today, I volition bear witness you a nice lens that's considered by some to be the cheaper alternative to the more than expensive 25mm Nikkors just it'due south quite decent then there's nothing "cheap" most its performance. You can even say that It's the Saizeriya of C-mount Cinematics-Nikkors.
Introduction:
The Cine-Nikkor 25mm f/1.8 was sold from 1959 and Information technology's function of the initial lineup of C-mountain lenses fabricated with the afterward barrel pattern which is bigger but it standardized the sizes of most C-mount Cine-Nikkors so they could share accessories such every bit filters and other customized gadgets. I don't know when production ended for this lens only it'due south probably around the late 1960s or even upward until the mid-1970s judging by how some of the boxed look like. There are minor variations of this lens some of which have both meters and feet engraved on the barrel. The 25mm focal-length is like a "standard" lens for the 16mm format and information technology's somewhat like a 68mm lens on 35mm or full-frame if you lot cistron-in the recent concept of ingather-cistron. The f/1.8 aperture sounds fast simply for a C-mount lens it'southward kind of "standard", giving you and effective-aperture of f/4.8 if you consider the 2.7x ingather-factor.
As typical with all Cine-Nikkors of its class the barrel is all-metal, it's a tough piddling lens. The focus-throw is moderate and is quite pleasant to be honest. The informative depth-of-field scale is useful and y'all could focus completely with it when shooting from moderate distances. The mount is adjustable and then you will be able to reorient it regardless of which camera information technology'south used with.

Hullo, everybody! I am recently eating sushi sold at the convenience stores more than often. These are not every bit good as what y'all will find in restaurants, even the ones from a sushi-go-around tastes much better. Their toll and convenience are the chief factors why I kept eating them, specially for breakfast. Information technology hits the spot, fifty-fifty simply barely and that's good enough. It always leaves me craving for better quality sushi just when I'one thousand hungry and lazy anything volition practise I suppose. Today, I'm going to show yous something that satisfied a need back-in-day. Just like cheap sushi this was improve than goose egg at all specially at a fourth dimension when people were demanding for a cheap-only-acceptable solution for a wide-lens that'southward capable of existence mounted to early SLR's. Read the whole article to detect out more than about this.
Introduction:
The Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 40mm f/iv.five we see hither is the later version of the Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 40mm f/4.5 with the smaller barrel. It's not clear when this was fabricated and for how long but I doubtable that it was made from around 1951 and it stayed for a few years until the Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f/2.eight was introduced. It'southward merely a stop-gap and this was soon phased-out when the more practical Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f/two.8 was unveiled. Needless to say, this is kind of rare but not valuable at all because the demand for information technology is low owing to its odd choice of focal length.
Information technology has an all-metal barrel that resembles its peers from the same era but different them this does not take a preset-band and so yous will accept to precisely stop the iris downward yourself. This is a bit of an annoyance because you'll have to tale your eyes off the viewfinder merely to confirm that you've go the right discontinuity value gear up before you make an exposure.

Hello, everybody! Do yous know the "Tokyo Shock Boys" or "電撃ネットワーク"? They're a one-act act back in the early 1990s. They did many stupid and dangerous stunts and their catchphrase is "information technology's very dangerous!", which I think is very catchy. The stunts that they did are only for our entertainment and should never be copied at habitation, children shouldn't scout their shows because they'll probably imitate them. Today, I'll evidence you something stupid and dangerous. I spent a long time thinking nearly whether I should publish this. Read this whole article to detect out more than about this.
Introduction:
The Nikkor-O 2.1cm f/4 was launched in 1959 and was sold until 1967. This used to be the widest Japanese lens for SLR photography at the time it debuted, it helped push the Nikon F into authority of the professional market. Information technology was such a landmark lens that it soon gained legendary condition because it opened new avenues for artistic photography. There's another version of this made for the S-mountain because rangefinders even so dominated 35mm photography at that time, its production was quite limited because the Nikon F would shortly bring an end to that era. This lens has a lot of dedicated fans and they swear by its reputation but is this lens actually what information technology's made out to be or are people simply ruminating on the mythology surrounding it? Nosotros'll find that out for certain in this article.
Information technology's all-metallic which makes it tough just its characteristic stem at the rear makes it look fragile. It'south actually quite rigid, I was surprised at how well-made information technology is. The rear is exposed but in that location's a guard which helps preclude damage. The scale is very useful, it'southward the only way you'll be able to focus with it without viewing idea-the-lens. This isn't a problem at all, the depth-of-field is very wide and so you just gauge the approximate distance of your subject or just use the scale to focus using hyperfocal distance, a technique that'due south forgotten by many people apart from landscape photographers and those who shoot street photography.

How-do-you-do, everybody! There's currently an showroom going on at the Nikon Museum about Cine-Nikkors! I am currently doing my best to give you lot all the information I have well-nigh this obscure part of Nikon's history so I was very happy when the Father of Kit-lenses messaged me about this exhibit. I was and so happy at that moment only I was also pitiful because there'south lots of Nikon historians who couldn't come to the exhibit due to the pandemic. I dedicate this article to all of y'all who are unable to look at these with your ain eyes and breath the same moldy air that these relics are exposed to.
The showroom is rather modest, conforming the tiny nature of many Cine-Nikkors. Despite beingness only ii tables the specimens shown hither are very important.

Review: Nikon FM10

Howdy, everybody! Many people are excited nearly the Nikon Z fc, Nikon's latest striking. It's an amazing camera that conjures the feeling of using a classic pic camera and it'southward non expensive, too. I recalled buying a Nikon D90 when information technology came out, information technology costs about $950.00 at that time and so if you put things into perspective the new Nikon Z fc is really quite reasonable. At the moment many people practise non even accept the coin to purchase one due to the current economy or some people aren't interested with shooting with the smaller DX format like me. To scratch the itch it'due south probably a good thought to shoot with an actual film photographic camera and I will bear witness you ane today that will certainly bring you lots of fun while y'all decide if buying a Nikon Z fc is going to be the correct conclusion for you.
Introduction:
The Nikon FM10 was sold from 1995 and production ended recently forth with the venerable Nikon F6. It wasn't made by Nikon at all, it was Cosina who made these for Nikon. The Cosina CT-i is the basis of this photographic camera and that was sold under different brands and names such equally the Catechism T60 and the Olympus OM2000 to proper noun a few. Its sister camera is the Nikon FE10, it's basically shares the aforementioned chassis but the internals are electronic. Yous may wonder why Nikon made the decision to go with this when they had the legendary Nikon FM2n and the groundbreaking Nikon FM3A being sold at same time as this plastic camera. Well, not everybody could afford the expensive Nikons so people with less money bought these instead if they wanted a new camera that comes with a warranty. It was also said that these were initially targeted for the overseas market peculiarly to developing nations where money isn't equally disposable compared to wealthy nations, at that place may exist some truth to that considering these were sold at the aforementioned time Nikon began its Thai factory.
The chassis is certainly made from metal only the exterior is covered with plastic. The end is kind of ugly, the plating is easily-scratched and it frankly looks cheap, like the shiny parts of a toy. The dials were all made from plastics, too. I do not think this volition survive a hard-knock or beingness dropped. The plastic outside volition definitely crack. You lot should never use this with large lenses, a Nikkor 20mm f/ii.eight Ai-Southward and similar-sized lenses will exist the all-time ones to utilize with it. These were besides sold with the Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/iii.3-four.5 Ai-Southward as a kit, this setup will certainly satisfy whatsoever amateur, they're not going to disappoint even the advanced amateur when there'due south nothing left to choose.

Hello, everybody! I just had my first Corona vaccine shot and my trunk aches as if I had the flu. Mundane things felt like chores because my torso feels heavy. I wasn't expecting the side-effect to kick-in this fast. This is fine at least my torso will bounce-dorsum and larn some immunity from the dreaded virus. Speaking of squeaky-joints and bouncing-dorsum, I volition show you something that was squeaky when it got to me and thank you to my efforts it was restored and it'due south now fast, smooth and in a much better state than it was when I got it.
Introduction:
The Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm f/2 (semiautomatic) is a redesign of the before preset Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm f/ii. Information technology was fabricated from 1953 upward until near 1960. The reason for its development coincides with the newer Zeiss Ikon Contax models which could activate the iris automatically with a button-plate almost the bayonet.
The biggest difference between this and the preset Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm f/ii is the addition of a semiautomatic iris. Yous basically cock the iris by turning the aperture-ring towards f/2. This will lock the iris to its maximum-aperture, it volition stop-down to the value that you've set up when you depress the shutter-button. If you're metering through-the-lens it is important to meter with the iris stopped-downwardly, you could do this earlier-or-afterwards focusing. It all depends on you lot. The desired value can exist set by pulling the aperture-ring towards the photographic camera then turning information technology to the value y'all desire.

Hello, everybody! Do you like eating instant noodles? I don't eat them much considering there are healthier alternatives, I but eat them for convenience or when I occasionally require salty, savory food. Some of them are quite tasty specially if you've added more actress ingredients such every bit fresh vegetables and seafood. The fancier ones even come with expensive chunks of meat and special sauces. For the almost part I just see them as a necessity for certain people. Y'all'll get full and they're cheap. Today, I'g going to show you something that's not really remarkable but it's the just option yous have if you want to stick to Nikon. Unlike junk-food these are non cheap and they used to be quite expensive, these were sold equally specialty lenses in their days. Read my article to know more about this rare gem.
Introduction:
The Cine-Nikkor 10mm f/1.8 is the widest Nikkor for standard 16mm apart from the Cinematics-Nikkor 6.5mm f/1.8 which is a specialty lens. Its production date is unknown but I suspect that it was made from the 1960s up until the 1980s. I could not notice any information virtually this so I'thousand going to speculate a lot here. Even the engineers at Nikon don't know much most information technology.
The barrel is all-metallic, it's beautiful and the build-quality is rather high as expected from a Cine-Nikkor. This was made for professionals that'south why many Cine-Nikkors today await the way they practise. This was certainly used extensively for a lot of assignments evidenced past the scars yous see here.
