Golden Oldie.

My recently acquired Nikon F2 Photomic film camera which dates from 1976. I bought this in excellent condition for approximately 1/10th of the original (1970s) price and the 50mm f2 lens was included in the price. There are a few areas of "brassing" where the black colour has worn away but otherwise it seems to be working properly, even the meter, which is usually faulty on these old cameras. I am currently replacing the light-seals and mirror cushion which are in poor condition and then I will be ready to try it out. Photographed with a Nikon D500 camera and AF Micro Nikkor 60mm f2.8 macro lens. Processed with Pixlr. More information here: www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/f2.htm

My Nikon D300s DSLR, lenses and flash-gun photographed with a Sony RX100 compact camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2. From left to right: Samyang 10mm f2.8 wide angle lens Samyang 8mm f3.5 full-frame fisheye lens Samyang 135mm f2.0 telephoto lens Nikon D300s DSLR + Nikkor 17-55mm f2.8 lens + Speedlight SB-600 flash-gun Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 telephoto lens Samyang 500mm f6.3 catadioptric (mirror) telephoto lens Nikkor 70-300mm f4.5 - f5.6 telephoto lens ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Samyang lenses are available to fit most popular brands of camera. I get mine here: www.ukdigital.co.uk/camera-lenses/lenses-brands/samyang-lenses.html All current Samyang lenses are manual-focus only which makes them a lot lighter and cheaper than those from the camera manufacturers (Nikon, Canon, Sony etc). With the exception of the "mirror" lenses they are all extremely sharp, often as sharp or even sharper than the equivalent lens from the camera manufacturers. Most Samyang lenses (except for those with the Nikon mount) also require the aperture to be set manually as there is no electronic linkage between camera and lens (this also reduces the price and weight).
