@@SathyaPeacock I was confused by your process. Normally I develop, apply stop wash (typically water), then fixer and then rinse for 10 minutes, I was under the impression that you don’t rinse due to the environmental effects which concern me as well. But do you dump the fixer and that’s it? Or store it for proper disposal? What is your workflow for developing? (I am looking in some fixers you can reuse). But I never heard of not washing since it is the step that removes the silver (and therefore not good for the environment). If you could share your overall workflow (which you have) with respect to leaving the last long water rinse out, I would be curious. You may have the answer to my problem.

Hello, thank you for pointing hidden technologies in the F4 like portrait mode metering, reduce shake shutter, speed shutter from 2000 (nikon F3) to 8000, etc... It's the only one camera nikon compatible with ALL LENSES. I like it have all dials at top of the F4 without LCD screen. i own Nikon F, F2sb and F4 with I have 2 only lens, Voigtlander 40mm f2 and 105mm f2.5 sonnar version. Tested F3 but it's the most overated of the serie, nothing special for me. I'm afraid F5 is too big for me, and read the matrix metering is less efficient than the F4. I don't use AF so i don't know yet if i like to get one. I'm not fan of bigs camera like F5 or Dx serie. Thanks to Nikon released D700, a small D3. Mine is only 18k shutters atuations. His panasonic full frame sensor is so specail, so magic i regret no more sensor like in Nikon mirorless series. And more special when work with Voigtlander 40mm. I do lot of street photo, i'm lucky my favorites camera like F4 and D700 are "smalls" unlike F5 or D3, etc..

@SathyaPeacock 27 күн бұрын

Thanks a lot for watching! Indeed it is a pretty good camera. I must say I am intrigued by F5 and F6 and intend to try them :) I did not know about the D700 and it's panasonic sensor. Nikon certainly made some workhorse cameras with good image right out the box. Have you tried their D200? I have been seeing more and more people using it, and makes me curious to try.

Very interesting and enjoy watching your videos on this amazing camera. I look forward to see more crisp sharp colorful images created by your F4s. I’m inspired. Your images from the last video where you convert film look to sharp edge to edge slide film look was amazing, just like a high end 4000.00 dollar digital camera. Thank you

@SathyaPeacock Ай бұрын

Hi, thanks - good lens, good exposure and scanned by a good lab are the things I'd recommend. I didn't do anything specific/different here. I was using the voigtlander 40mm F2 lens for most of the shots in this video but nikon's 50mm F1.8 lens in my ektachrome video. slide film particularly looks better in 35mm as the ISO is really low and grain is not really visible. For voigtlander lens I was relying on camera's focus indicator and all exposures where metered internally by the camera itself :) it's a great camera, so I definitely recommend!

A v900/950 would be nice but low chance. I recently started doing fluid mount scans on my 700 and I am really liking the results I am getting. I scan "RAW" linear tiffs as well that that is the way to do. I use VueScan and I feel it gives you much more control over the scanner. One little feature that I like is that you can tell the scanner to make multiple passes when scanning a image.

@robdibbler4936 2 ай бұрын

the metering is a very tiny spot in the "centre" of viewfinder. I still have to set -1 exposure compensation which is ridiculous considering the camera is supposed to be metering. Also my original I-2 had to be returned to polaroid as faulty (wouldn't eject dark slides ) and wildly wrong exposures!

@SathyaPeacock 2 ай бұрын

That must’ve been frustrating for you to deal with a faulty unit to begin with. Are you liking the image quality? Haven’t had wildly wrong exposures with in built metering yet. And I don’t think it’s a tiny spot, from what I understand it’s 60% of the optical field of view by a single photocell so meters the centre part of fov and disregards everything else. Polaroid does say on their website that its centre weighted but I don’t understand how it could be if it only averages 60% of the optical fov. Maybe it is centre weighted within that 60% fov metering area. But yeah, I agree metering lets this camera down.

@@SathyaPeacock I have been considering getting a used Sigma DP1 Quattro as that has a built in xpan like aspect ratio (intended for use as a directors viewfinder for framing / scouting I think).

Hi, I have not shot with the SLR 680 personally so unfortunately I can’t give you advice. I just quickly searched for prices on eBay for the 680 and it’s as expensive as or more so than the I2. For that reason alone I’d choose I2 as it’s a newer camera with warranty and fully manual features. Metering is not excellent if the lighting is uneven so prepare to manually meter for those instances with the I2. All the best :)

Hey there, thank you very much video. It was a pleasure watching it. 😊 Well I actually own a onestep 2 for three years now and I love shooting with it and I really like the look of the Polaroid photos. So I am actually thinking about upgrading to the I-2, because I wanna have more control about my shooting. Beside the price, I heard a lot that the light metere is kinda off all the time. In the house it works okay, in the outside you need to step down 2/3 and if it is a bit dark, then you should go up until stop 1. Did you experience this mess? I mean I guess you can work around that and get a feeling for it, but I am not sure whether to wait for the I-3.. (if it ever will be released, who knows, but if so, it will probably take them three years or so to be released). What would you suggest me to do? Do you have to feeling that this is a huge problem? Thx in advance. 😄

@SathyaPeacock 5 ай бұрын

Hey! Thank you for watching. Evenly lit situations produce good results for me whether indoors or outdoors (for instance the candy cart shot was outside and was metered in camera). But high contrast / backlit / off centred subject scenes are problematic. So I know to manually meter for those. If you are interested in manually metering for complex scenes then I2 is good. Having that control is sweet.
