" Every new time is a new time to be some place." Haha, i absolutely love the quote.

Wait, you said you were gonna shoot the crossing flowers with just sky, which woulda been better but we never saw that. What happened lil buddy? I had the S2 Pro when it came out. Currently going through a load of old photos from that and my S1 pro I had before that.

Really cool vid man. Love it

The T * marking on the lens is about the great lens costing.

The side focus button is like back button focus it locks the focus

Tests show that this Sigma 50-500mm HSM OG lens shines on full frame. But it does not have the resolution required for 26Mpix APS-C crop sensor.

😎👍 nobad camera . Later year ussimilar models Sony H1H2 H5

can it be used on canon cameras?

Hi James, I hope that you will find some time to update this channel with some new adventures :) Great videos btw!

Exactly where is these woods in San Antonio, Texas

I am looking for a tele lens, thanks a lot for your video sharing. Could you share about the Auto Focus experience with K-3 mark III ?

All the best with the move my friend

Watch out for the goose poop...😅 No but seriously very good tutorial and you went into detail I like that this was a good video, keep it up...

I bought this camera a year or two after it came out. I think I paid $700 for it. One of my favorite, all-time camera. Doubt I will ever sell it. I've gotten some of my best photos with it. The lens is stellar! The change to an APS-C size sensor was class-leading. I often shoot RAW and the detail and dynamic range are more than adequate. Not great in low-light, so best to use in good light.

You should try with a flash. Then let's know what this camera can do that many today $3,000.00 cameras can't do?

I still use my sigma 50-500mm it's one of my favourite lens I use it with nikon body and it won me competitions and had my photos on TV.. bad photos come from the user not the equipment.

I have one s2 pro in working condition, and another dead with battery case metal broken, and can't be lit by plugging a power cord.

I agreed with your comment of Pentax doing another PLM lens!

I talked with a Carl Zeiss employer at the photokina fair in cologne. He told me all lenses but not the smartphone lenses are engeniered by zeiss and they have people in the foreign factories. (wrong englisch 😅)

Yoo-hoo! Where are you, Dude?

Glad to see you're enjoying the gear I donated back in the Summer 2023. Looking forward to seeing what you think of the Nikon D2x.

I had the 150-500 version of the Bigma (same era, supposedly slightly sharper then the 50-500) for about 4 months. I ended up selling it and going to a more expensive lens on Micro 43rds because it was still a little too soft for me, and the Autofocus was all over the place just as you mentioned. But the biggest complaint is I couldn't stand the weight, which is why I had no real interest in going for the 150-600 either.

The S2 Pro was my Compromise camera for not wanting to pay $350 USD+ for a working S5 Pro. Its a very common camera to find broken and harder to find intact. But its also a really easy camera to swap components on. So mine is hobbled together from 3 broken S2 bodies I bought off of Ebay. Was a fun project even if its far from perfect, the rear LCD has two lines in it and the shutter occasionally sticks generally if I try to take a photo right after another. But the fully mechanical film shutter mechanism means you can just press the shutter again to unstick it. And yeah, I found out the same thing about the CF cards. Turns out it will only take CF cards up to 2GB. So my 1GB card works with it but not my 8 and 16 GB ones. The CCD Raw format for this camera was horribly un-compressed so you only get like 50 shots in RAW on a 1GB CF card (but like 500 photos in high resolution JPG (The 12mp de-interlaced variety) or around 750 in the "Native" 6MP resolution in JPG). It also takes a long time to write RAW files to the card so I've typically just been shooting mine in JPG. Beautiful colors whenever the light meter (which isn't the best) works out telling you the correct exposure.

I have held onto mine, my 828 also. Something about the images these cameras produce.

can I use only nikon lenses FX full frame with it?

I can't believe I'm a month late to this! Glad you finally got to put one of my favorite CCDs on video!

Love the drama of the silhouetted hawk!

hello, I wanted to ask you a question, I have a S2 Pro with the AA battery slot broken, I was wondering if it is possible to use only the two cr123 batteries, would it work? Thank you

Are you using both CR123 and AA batteries in yours? My first S2 arrived with a black sensor, but have a second on the way and fingers crossed it's issueless. I wonder if its weird interpolatey sensor still qualifies it for the 6MP Club.

How did you manage to get rid of the background noise only your voice pops out and you are in the woods 😮

my friend just sold me this lens for $300 , cant wait to try it , should be here tomorrow

Definitely gonna need to try to source one of those Nikons - that picture with the bug and the flower! 🤩

I like this mini series kinda thing that you have going on, keep it up 👍

Keep up the vintage camera exploration! Love to see it. The S2Pro is a beast. I loved the way it felt when I picked up my pristine copy last year. Only one problem: no images. It pretends like it's taking pictures, but the saved files are black. Unfortunately, I found out after the fact that the sensor they used in this model was prone to failure. I'm still holding onto it, in the slim hope that it's just the connector to the sensor (I read of that as a potential problem), but that's going to require surgery that I'm not ready to undertake until maybe winter.

BON VOYAGE MY MAN KEEP YOUR CHIN UP !

Does the pentax not have the sigma 150-600mm?

There's someone near me selling one for about $150 and you made me kinda want it. I want it to be cheaper though. You got some really nice shots with it.

I just got this, last weekend, at a flea market. 8 bucks. It's a bit roughed up but I've been refurbishing it and it's coming along great. I've used a bit of thick leather for the grip, the original one was desintegrating. It looks amazing with the leather.

Did you update to firmware 2.0?

I have this camera and I love it. I paid 77 euros for the camera and 2 batteries, but without a charger. The only downside is the not-so-great low-light performance (not bad, but not good).

I shot a Bigma for 5 years, with a K20D, K7 and then a K5. It was a great combo, I also alternatively used a Pentax SDM F4. Let it go, I wanted full frame and a real 500mm F4, Pentax had nothing then.

I hear a lot of UA-camrs saying sensor sizes the way you did: "two over three inch" and I can't figure out why nobody seems to understand fractions anymore. It's "two-thirds of an inch." Think of it like a recipe: you'd say "half a cup" not "one over two cup."

I’m old fashioned I know but I love a camera with lots of buttons, pics looked lovely

Disc golf is actually pretty big in parts of Texas…getting into disc golf is like cameras, once you start you won’t stop.

Back in time it was both awesome and out of reach, I did see once in 2003 and it was used by a professional press photographer so much it was a reliable camera. P.S: sorry for being pushy, we need more Mamyia ZD videos :)

What an odd form factor that has. I don't remember that one at all from the time. It was nice when they took risks and tried things out wasn't it.

Excellent video and great camera! Love how these older cameras are getting the spot light again! So many hidden gems! Thanks for sharing Snaps!

I can tell that this was shot on a GoPro because of the fisheye, but i was wondering which model?

What a strange creature. Love the design decisions around the flippy screen. 👀 From the waist!
