![]() | Nikon F100 Pros: Sturdy, beautiful and beautifully built. It is "THE" reflex. Cons: Feeding with AAA batteries: one hour in the cold and the machine goes down. Opinion: I bought it in 2000, a quarter of a century ago. But, when I want to shoot on film I still use it. It is "THE" reflex. The last great heir (together with its big sister F5 - which I own but which I use little: too heavy) of Nikon's F family. You put us on any lens in Nikon's boundless history: f, ai/ais, af, afd, g, afs etc etc... and the F100 works and shoots. The position and management of the controls on the body is the progenitor of all subsequent Nikon camera bodies, up to the current Z: the F100 is the genetic progenitor of all subsequent Nikons - and that's no small thing. After her I switched to digital (d90, d601, d750, z5ii) but she is always there ready and every now and then she still makes some rolls of film sent on December 21, 2025 |
![]() | Nikon Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Pros: Sharpness, lightness and quick response of the motor for autofocus Cons: dimly lit, less effective than expected in VR Opinion: I've had the Zfc for a year. I'm excited about it, and a big part of my enthusiasm for the machine is its standard 16-50 zoom. The step up from the Sony A6000 that I've kept for a few years (with not much satisfaction) is impressive. The zoom has optical quality in the best Nikon tradition; It is lightweight, versatile, and easy to use; It has a more than good color response and excellent b/w contrast. The vignetting at the minimum focal length is decent - it needs to be corrected in post-production - but in line with expectations. The two things I liked the least are the stabilization that I expected to be better: at 1/8 there is nothing to do: you can see the blur! And then the look (and the feeling in the hand) of being a little too "plasticky". But that's okay: the Zfc + zoomino set are ideal to keep in my bag at all times. So much so that I'm seriously thinking of ditching the F-mount (with the D750 and part of its mountain of lenses - I have to keep them a bit for analog bodies) and switching to the Z-mount even if the whole thing will cost an arm and a leg... sent on April 20, 2024 |
![]() | Nikon D90 Pros: handle, good viewfinder (to be a DX), robust, eternal battery, internal AF motor, Cons: DX, AF is not perfect, suffers above 800 iso Opinion: I've had it since 2011 (after I had stolen everything, absolutely everything: a F100, af d 18-35 f2.8, 35-70 f2.8 d af, af 80-200 f2.8 all nikon! ) and past the distrust of the DX, I find it even now great, especially putting on some glass buono.rnCi do landscape and portrait and it goes so well that, even though I'm switching to a 610, I think I keep her ... sent on October 08, 2014 |
