Hi all, I just got this lenses today and once I made several test shots with my F5 (perhaps around 20-30

clicks) suddenly my batt (I'm using MN30) turns low/blinking and the AF stop working with the shutter

release won't fire. So I changed the batt with second newly charged MN 30 and it works normally again.

Do you think this 80-200 AFS takes lots of power from the batt? I only had some 10 rolls taken with the

first batt (before I have this lens with me). Or maybe my batt already loss some charge cause of age (I

got it used but in mint condition). How many rolls do you think MN30 batt will hold? Thanks guys for all

infos!.

Hi all, anyone has ever compare these two lenses? how they perform on film or digital? I know that

Nikon don't make 35/1.4 in AF so this lenses is the only comparable to the legendary Canon 35/1.4 L.

Or if there's any link for this I would appreciate it. As I'm just changing boat to Nikon from Canon

recently so I would love to know some more on Nikon lenses. When there's enough fund sure I would

love to get this lens (for wedding mostly), Thanks all and have a nice weekend!.

Hi all,

I need some suggestion on lenses combo that I will be using on my Nikon F5. Do you guys prefer a

zoom combo which has 17-35 + 35-70 + 70-200 ? or prime combo that has 35/2 + 50/1.4 + 85/1.4?

thanks for info!.

I just bought an F5 very recent and never regret it as when I bought it, it was very mint like

new condition but aside from all cosmetics, I found myself this is the best pro 35mm film

camera I've had and tried Canon 1V and Minolta maxxum 9). So back in film again for me

for the time being and I believe you will be happy with F5.

Any difference in sharpness and quality, etc? I'm a first time Nikon users and I'm using an F5 (well it's

still film for me). Thanks for any infos!.

What camera does he use? Leica , medium format or view camera?. His images are

astonishing and very inspiring, thanks for the link.

Good to hear that as I had few times bought from KEH and it always as stated or even

better (lucky me never had such problem also with any big stores like B&H, Adorama).

What about the upcoming 4/3rd Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1? it's leica glass on it and has

image stabilizer, also the size is almost the same of M6. I don't like the look of RD-1 or

the new one RD1s but the have the advantages of using M glass.

I guess Mark is right, horses for courses and eventho they all do produce stunning images

but again it comes back on what is your final purpose of the camera to be used on. Again

thanks for all infos and I do believe that DMR, 1DsmkII, and all digital medium backs out

there are good.

Folks,

Put aside all the features on the camera what is your choice of camera based on design

that considered to be sexy? my pick and choices are Leica MP, Rollei TLRs 2.8/3.5F,

Olympus E-1 and the upcoming Panasonic DMC-L1. But if I have to choose only one from

the above mine would be the E-1.

I've seen the never ending post by Guy Mancuso on the other forum (Fred's) on DMR vs

1DsmkII. But anyone has ever compare DMR with medium format back? such as phase one,

leaf etc? or if there's any article ever related or written please give me the link. Thanks

Folks and happy shooting!.

I saw that one too but I'm talking of the same size of the real TLR's, also "Blad" is option

for those with film and digital option but I like the feel of handling TLR better, IMO.

Guys, I'm so enjoying shooting with my newly acquired "OLD" Rolleiflex and at some point

I was thinking that it would be great to have a digital TLR don't you think?. Put aside all the

AF function, keep it manual as I personally like to do so, Don't really need features like

today digital cameras, keep it simple but it's digital and that will be awesome!.

I guess there are still many photographers using TLR even for their works. BUt it probably

would cost lots of money to do R&D for this kind, but I believe if they do come up with

such camera, people would love to buy. Pixels doesn't have to be big, 10MP would be

good enough, or we could suggest to have interchangeable back like Leica DMR??? anyway

it's only a thought but we never know :)

How do you guys clean a lens mark that is persist or hard to clean? it's like a finger print

mark, I tried almost every possible way but it's still there (I use breath, saliva, lens cleaner

even alcohol). I did the proper way like dust it first with camel brush and then use micro

fiber, lens tissue and last is qtip but aaarghh it won't dissapear, very frustrating :(. Thanks

for info shared.

Thanks B, I found and seems it works well now, I'm off to shoot some rolls today! thanks

again!.

Hi alll,

I just got the rolleiflex 2.8E type I and so far the shutter speed and aperture are correct

from 1/500 to B also the light meter read normally. Now I have bit confusion how to set

up the ASA film speed as it is different from the 3.5F I used to have. On 3.5F it has

indicator on 64-400 speed but on this 2.8E I don't see any. I tried the online manual but it

doesn't say anything about it. So any advice on how to put the correct film speed on this

camera? thank you for all the help and really appreciate it!.

Folks,

I just bought a mint and absolutely like new rolleiflex 2.8E type I for $300 (btw is it a good

price?), and I will send it for check up (hopefully I might not need one) to Harry Fleenor or

Ross Yerkes to get a beattiescreen or maxwell so I can have a better focus. I need contact

info for Harry or Ross, anyone knows? thanks for the help!.

I'm planning to get a case for my M6 TTl with 35/cron, any recommendation for this?

thanks in advance!.
