nikon_f70Nikon F70

Pros: Automatisms such as the aperture priority, the focus motor in the car

Cons: Sometimes the automatic recognition of the film does not read the type of film correctly, it is not very intuitive (perhaps a little too cumbersome in operations), rubbery materials (deteriorate quite easily)

Opinion: The Nikon F70 is a film camera, overall it is a good machine, reliable and ready to use. It has 2 problems in my opinion it is cumbersome even in the most basic operations such as setting the ISO or in the manual gearbox with any other automatism, for this reason I do not recommend it to those who want a car ready to shoot in a few moments. The other problem is the choice of some tires by Nikon at the time that over time deteriorate and the cleaning process is quite long and challenging, personally I do not understand this choice of saving on materials unlike the Nikon FM2 that stored in the same place and having many more years behind it seems more recent. In conclusion, it is a valid machine but some design flaws make it appreciate less than its potential.

nikon_d70Nikon D70

Pros: 2 rings, ergonomics, weight

Cons: None for the type of machine

Opinion: Very nice and robust machine, much appreciated the 2 rings, you can not complain about the few pixels and the poor seal at high ISO thinking about the period in which it was produced and the category of audience for which it was designed, unfortunately I had to retire it since over time the memory card reader had broken.

sigma_70-210ucSigma AF 70-210mm f/4-5.6 UC

Pros: ...

Cons: Materials

Opinion: The lens itself is not so terrible for the price range to which it belonged and for the years it carries on its shoulders, but it is impossible to use it given the scarcity of materials, especially the rubber parts that have totally melted, to fix the problem I had to externally clean the lens, so I advise you to look elsewhere if you can.

nikon_fm2Nikon FM2

Pros: All

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: This machine is the meeting point between solidity and quality, practically indestructible body, easy to use, from a mechanical point of view a jewel, it is all entirely mechanical, it is light and compact, I am lucky enough to still be able to use it given the perfect care and conservation that has been dedicated to it

nikon_28-70_f3-5dNikon AF 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 D

Pros: resistance

Cons: none for the price range to which it belongs

Opinion: quite versatile lens, not excellent but still able to meet the most common needs. The only thing that bothers me a bit but it should only be my case is that the bezel that varies the focal length is quite hard (probably due to the dirt accumulated over the years) for the rest fully meets the expectations

nikon_50_f1-4dNikon AF 50mm f/1.4 D

Pros: Weight, size, brightness, colors.

Cons: Sharpness with open diaphragm, parasitic lights.

Opinion: Beautiful colors (almost pastel), ideal lens for those who make portraits. To keep in mind for those who want to use it outdoors suffers a lot from parasitic lights. Sharpness is lost at full aperture, to reduce this it is better to close the diaphragm. Given the size it has you will not struggle to take it with you. Keep in mind that being a fairly dated lens there is no autofocus motor in the lens, so unless you have a car with an af motor you can only use it manually.

nikon_35-70_f2-8Nikon AF 35-70mm f/2.8

Pros: Colors, construction, weight

Cons: suffers parasitic light, sharpness at the edges

Opinion: I highly recommend everyone to try this lens at least once given the charm of having to shoot again by manually managing the focus except when you have a camera body with af engine. It is recommended to always carry the hood with you as it suffers enough from parasitic lights. It loses sharpness at the edges. Low weight even if made of metal

nikon_afs80-200Nikon AF-S 80-200mm f/2.8D IF-ED

Pros: The colors, the rendering at all openings, the sharpness, quality construction

Cons: The focus motor

Opinion: Weight is subjective so I don't feel compelled to emphasize it as a merit or a defect. The only problem of this lens and its colleagues of those years is the ultrasonic motor that unfortunately breaks down quite easily, as we all know repairs are never too cheap especially on quite dated lenses. All this is balanced by a blurry (not too marked) colors (pastel) and a sharpness to all the openings without equal of the time.
