I was as looking forward to shooting this test with Diana Otieno. She being born and raised in Africa had a very unique face. After a couple of phone conversations earlier that month. She agreed to drive in to Jacksonville that Saturday morning from Ocala.

She was the first of two model tests I shot in Downtown Jax that October 15th, 2022. Her enthusiasm, energy and discipline made it a joy to capture her essence.

This image is from shooting under the sky train rail bridge in Downtown Jacksonville.

通院後にNikon D600 & AF NIKKOR 70-300mm f4-5.6G(ヤフオク1000円落札)で撮影してみた。銀塩末期の廉価版でモーターを持たないタイプ(カプラー駆動)のズームレンズだが、撮影中は意外にAF-Cで追従していると思ったものの、自宅でPCで見たらやっぱりピントが甘い感じだった

特に望遠レンズだとレンズが重い分AFが遅い傾向があるし、マウント面を経由しての機械的駆動だとスムーズに連続的に動かすのはやっぱり厳しいので、メーカー問わずAF-Sで置きピンするほうが確実そう。超音波モーターとかステッピングモーター内蔵レンズなら追従性は高いんだろうけど、Fマウントは面白い中古・ジャンクがあれば使う程度のスタンスなので持っていない

ちなみにこのレンズは廉価版なので特殊低分散ガラスを使っていないせいか、パープルフリンジは出やすい。f8でも厳しくてf11くらいまでは絞りたいけど、相手が動体だとなかなか厳しい

The Opening Salvo, Cheap Glass For NIKKORheads! headache-induced rambling.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step – Chinese proverb.

Nikon is probably one of the cheapest Camera brands to get into these days. That's mainly due to the fact that the F mount contains some of the most illogically cheap glass ever seen on a system to date! But there really hasn't been anyone trying to make a modern day, comprehensive list of all of the little buggers that exist. This is frankly due to the ever growing fact that there is too many lenses for one person to trouble themselves with because there can only be so many styles, focal lengths and F-stops one can touch on before they themselves become absolutely stone-mad and try to eat the canvas bag that holds your camera. There are people that review them as they come along and itemize them and props to those who can put up with that kind of cheap bullshit. But I’ll not bring Ken Rockwell into this whole charade if I don't have to.

Black-eyed Susans - Nikon D3, Nikkor AF-D 80-200mm F2.8 one touch, ISO 400, F3.2, 1/400 second

With the Glass Problem I have, it seems that i have no real basis to try and hunt for the Good pieces of shiny Circular Goodness on my own. Ken Rockwell can help as a sort of basic bitch barometer but his Certified Hot Takes and Oversaturated images can only carry me so far. The best thing I can do then, Really. Is get grounded and try to cope with what I can get to and throw out the rest as cheap bullshit for the hounds to go after. 1987 and beyond Glass that can actually be worth a Damn. But the method of finding the diamonds in the rough can roughly be equated to going Landmine-Hunting with a sledgehammer.

Forest Corridor. Nikon D3, AF-D Nikkor 18-35mm F3.5-4.5 ED, F9, 35mm, 1/500sec, ISO 640

With all of this and the above rambling, it feels like the best idea to me is to get some grounding on the opening of this Shameful Diary is to itemize the pros and cons of the glass I already have as I step up to get their newer counterparts alongside picking up some of the old, manual AI and AI converted numbers. Why not? It makes perfect sense to me. “Catalog what you know, pick up on what you don't” Maybe Ill Improve in this hobby for once in my life. But the immediate problem that I ran into with that angle is twofold. One; my collection of glass can best be described as “Eclectic” And two, if I really want to wring the potential Max Performance out of these shiny glass cylinders my brain is screaming at me that I should get a camera with a higher megapixel sensor inside of it. This idea gets constantly brought up by the council of mad gerbils that tens to run my inner thoughts, but is immediately shot down by the idea that the camera we would “like to step up to” the D850, does not supersede bills. So its immediately thrown out until I can cope with buying its just-as-capable cousin, the D800.

Dog! Nikon F4S. Ektachrome E100 Before I veer off into any tangents or this manic wave passes over me and ill be left in a catatonic slump. Ill itemize a few of the repeat Photon-Wranglers that will show up here and mention some of the glass I hope to gather and show off. In the vein hopes of becoming a niche internet micro-celebrity on a dead website that had strange porn on it coming out through the eyeballs. This is what I get for not bothering to make a proper website. But once again, things like that cost money, which i don't tend to have a lot of for long periods of time. mainly all of it is spent on fanciful trips or restocks on film, not to mention development of the buggers. But anyway!

Repeat appearances will include the; Nikon D3 Nikon F4S Nikon D800/D850 (When purchase of either is applicable) Nikon F FTN Eventual Glass Purchases;

AFS Nikkor 24-120mm F4 G type AFS Nikkor 50mm F1.8 G type AF-D Nikkor 24mm F2.8 AF-D Nikkor 35mm F2 AF-D Nikkor 300mm F2.8 ED

AFS Nikkor 200-500mm F5.6 ED VR E type Vogitlander Nokton 58mm F1.4 SL-2 S AFS Nikkor 300mm F4 D type AFS nikkor 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 G type Among others.

But as I Shuffle through the Glass I have in an effort to either Sell or keep them Maybe some special moment will arrive that will make me think that all of this spent money on glass, film development, digital bodies and endless hours working out how the fuck a modern flashgun works or how to edit my RAW files like i know what im doing will be all worthwhile. Or it will make me want to travel back in time and throttle whoever designed the AF-D 80-200mm F2.8 one touch to have its’ focal length be changed by jerking off the main section of the barrel.

A New Lens from Canon Might Challenge Sony and Nikon

A New Lens from Canon Might Challenge Sony and Nikon – A few weeks ago, we reported on the possibility of a new fixed-aperture telephoto lens from Canon. Shortly after, Canon announced their RF mount 100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM lens. Canon sports, wildlife, and fashion photographers everywhere would have taken a keen interest in this. Sadly it didn't include the expected built-in teleconverter that could have let the lens double as a 140-420mm f4 lens. And given the news you're about to read, I can see why they deliberately left it out of that lens. From what it seems, there's a Canon RF 200-500mm on the horizon.

I give you teenage ape on a stick, with a sideorder of gruffiness This young western lowland gorilla found posing on top of a tree stump that gave him quite an overview. Distinctingly observing my group of visitors and photographers. The western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) live in lowland swampland and forrest in western Africa, from Angola to Gabon and north to CAR. They are the smallest of the four main subspecies of gorilla. These gorillas travels in smaller and larger groups and often covers 3-5 kilometer a day. The groups are both breeding family groups and non-breeding groups of often young gorillas. During their "bachelor-age", male gorillas can change between groups of breeding and none-breeding, or even travelling solitary. This bachelor sweet age can go on for years, so no wonder this fellow is a bit grumpy. But he was brought to the wilderness sanctuary to keep him safe from humans, so at least he is alive. As all gorillas, lowlands gorillas are endangered animals close to extinction. The main enemy are human activities like deforrestation and hunting for bushmeat. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_lowland_gorilla #ape #gorilla #nature #naturereserve #limbe #wildlifecenter #refuge #cameroon #observing #curious #western #lowland #Gorillagorillagorilla #roadtrip #2015CE #Nikon #NikonD800 #D800 #300mm #f4 #Kamerun #cameroon #africa #mbe #Cameroon #ngaoundere #selfie (ved Limbe Wildlife Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/z7jeLMD-nB/?utm_medium=tumblr
