Dieter Schaefer Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I never used the AF on the 1st and 2nd generation AF cameras back in the days (I owned F4 and N2020) even though a lot of my lenses were AF. I started using AF in 2004 - on a D70 and an F5 (quite some time after my wife demonstrated that AF on her F100 worked a lot better and faster than my manual focusing with the F4).

Kent T Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 A note: Best use for a Nikon N2020, is for manual focus AI and AI-S lenses. It's AF system is slow. Nikon got their AF SLR act really together with the N6008 and N8008 cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used AF quite often with my F4 and unless the ambient light was really dim, it always hit spot on. It was lightening fast on my F5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikon really got their AF act together? Is that why today nearly every body-lens combo needs a different AF fine tune? A 'fine' tune that practically end stops the adjustment range in many cases.

The earliest generation Nikon AF cameras had very slow, very lacking in response AF compared to say, the Minolta Maxxum AF SLR by comparison. The Nikon AF 2020 is best used as a manual focus SLR, to name an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely because the early posts are from 2012 and transfers to new systems probably mis-translated. (I see the tags, but only in the early posts..)

JDMvW Posted December 2, 2023 Author Share Posted December 2, 2023 Just in case, the OP was done at a time when formatting was hard or impossible. So the the thing was formatted before posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
