A brick? Back then over four decades ago, I carried F2A + MD + BP + 70-200 f/2.8 + Metz hammerhead flash + external lead acid battery pack and a backup SLR.
Great vid, nice to see the channel shout outs too. I just want to mention Jules Vuoto's photo focus, and Brian's photo show - two of the best channels with super interesting and in depth content about classic Nikon gear.
Cheers, keep enjoying your F2, I love mine; I shoot it alongside an F and they are both just sublime.
I have an all black Nikon F2 with Nikkor 50mm sc 1.4 and Nikkor 105 p auto f2.5 lenses.
Perfect outfit. Camera is from 1972
Wonderful video Paolo, I have a couple of F2's and love them dearly, their weight and 1970's industrial design give them enormous charm and are a delight to use and even just handle. Your video was a marvellous walk down memory lane for me. I spent a day in Manila's Intramuros with my Filipino wife exploring and soaking up the history of this place. It left an indelible mark on my soul. Especially the war memorial.
Lol that intro! I woke up this morning and thought about taking my pentax k1000 with me on jogs so I could get in shape and take spontaneous photos but first, coffee and a video. And here we are, YOU READ MY MIND
This is a beautifully made video. Thanks for the hard work that went into it.
Thank you so much! ♥️
Love the shot on 13:03! 👍🏻👍🏻
I love your Nikon! I love this Vlog well detailed ang important features of your camera. Keep it up Paolo. Keep shooting and inspiring.
Maraming salamat, Sir Mark! 😄
Liked your historical perspective on the beginnings of the Nikon F. I was around at that time and realized that the slr was a definite improvement over the rangefinder system in a variety of ways. The RF was limited in range of lens choices to somewhere between about 28mm and 100mm since the parallax issues and focus issues made it impractical at either extreme. The new through the lens exposure measurements in the slr was also superior because it only measured what the lens saw no matter what lens was installed. As time went on, the choices of longer and wider lenses opened up new photographic possibilities. The big advantage of the rangefinder system was smaller and lighter cameras and the closeness of the lens to the film plane produced sharper images. The new mirrorless cameras have returned that advantage to photography since the mirror box and vibration issues have been eliminated while retaining all the advantages of thru the lens exposure control, smaller size and weight and now electronic shutters. The F2 is the happy point in Nikon history where the last best all mechanical slr was offered. The only use of the battery is to feed the exposure meter. It is a small improvement over the F otherwise with a hinged back, 1/2000th shutter speed option, and a better choice of meters that bridge the ability to use non Ai as well as Ai and AiS lenses.
Good vid. Some great shots at the end. Have used F2s forever ……… they just work…… industrial design classics …… especially with pre-Ai lenses. The 35mm f 3.5 is a peach.
Pao ang ganda ng photos!!!
Hintayin natin 'yung Binondo roll ko bago ko gawan ng video, baka wala naman pala akong mapakita doon 🥴
Love the Nikon F history.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😄
Great video young man. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I really appreciate this!
Great video
Must say... terrific review! Great insight Nicely done... spread the word! F2 is boss!
Thank you! Really appreciate this! ♥️
Nice video, and I totally agree. I just bought one, but it needs a service, so I'm now on Sover Wong's list. I also think I, yoong learnt a bit of Tagalog watching this!
I have the Canon Ftb and the F1, so I feel you when you meant literally strapping on a brick on your shoulders as a photo walk workout 😂. I even train my neck to get used to it and just suck it up and be manly lmao.
Still saving up for a Nikon F2 tho! HAHAHHAHAH
Ps. Your content is amazing and completely underrated! It's nice to see passionate film photographers in the Philippines, let alone a youtuber film shooter?? What a gold mine! Keep them videos coming!
You get used to it eventually, but I rly notice it whenever I switch to my other cameras 😅 It's really a hefty beast, but that's just because of its quality!
There are tons of amazing film cameras to choose from! I'm still hoping to try out a bunch including maybe the Canon F1 too! Hope you get to shoot more and keep shooting! 😄
Anyway, thanks so much for this!! This really means a lot! 😅
I got a Nikon F2 black body and it got the 2 parts motor drives and a special meter head which fit on the left side of the camera and I need to get the camera fixed and get a meter head for it then I can sale the whole lot from £300 to as much as £500 and I paid only £10.00 for all of them from a camera shop in London in 2023
...die Nikon F2 Serie hat Geschichte geschrieben und ist eine Ikone--ich hatte auch die F3 und F5 aber keine war wie sie...
fave ko yung sa 12:12 hahaha nice catch
They took the hammock down after ko kunan ng photo, baka akala nila isusumbong ko HAHAHAHAHAH
nice video. i bought my first f2 back in 2018 in hidalgo, its in a rough shape so sending it to Sover Wong in a couple of weeks getting that full service treatment, along i just bought 2 pre-ai lenses 55 f3.5 and 200mm f4, hopefully get the 35mm f2. also buying AR-1 and a battery cover for it. my f2 is getting a nice treat. never going to sell or give it away haha. i did buy another black and silver f2 same year but getting only my hidalgo f2 restored.
Sounds like it's shaping up to be a really great set!! Hope the treatment and restoration goes well! It's really does feel like a super camera that'll last you a lifetime! 😄
Makes me wanna trade my F3 with an F2 for the reason that it’s fully mechanical! 😂Nice and informative video, by the way 👍🏼
Ganda pa rin ng F3!!! 🥺 Plus, it's much lighter din 😅 And thanks so much! I appreciate it! ❤️
@@paolocalalang always looking forward to your videos! 🙌
F2 great camera you won't regret it
Good move!! The F2 is a better camera.
I've got the f2 it's my pride and joy but I'd be lying if I said that red stripe on the f3 wasn't calling to me
very nice video and love your explanation and though about F2. After getting myself 2 F2, i end up getting 1 F3HP and i must say i still love F2 on its design and the mechanical feel. The F3 is very nice and easy to use but F2 is so much fun to shoot with. Try Nikomat/Nikkormat FTN if you want something lighter and cheap. It is very affordable, fully mechanical and very nicely design.
I'll be sure to keep this in mind!! Thanks so much! ❤️
Nikkormat FTN is cheaper, but you can still use it to hammer nails 😜 A real workout would be an F2 and a Nikkormat FTN
Just ordered the F2 from Ebay
Why do all photography UA-camrs have the most intrusive background music?
Katuwa ang gaganda ng mga kuha mo Sir 👏
Problema ko foam light seals need ko set saan kaya meron mabibilhan?
🙌🙌🙌🙌
When you said “carrying a brick” HAHSHAHA I can really relate, I carry a Nikon F2AS with an eyepiece magnifier (for accurate focusing) and I tell you IT. IS. HEAVY. (prolly because of the DP-12 viewfinder but its my main camera soooo)
Sobrang convenient talaga ng SLRs na nakikita mo na sa viewfinder yung kalalabasan, wala nang space for #doubt hahaha jk also advantage for people na malakas makalens filter
Truly!!! I still love how small, compact, and quiet rangefinders can be, pero batang SLR talaga ako HAHAHAHA
First! 🥺💖
minsan pag idle ako sa labas pinang b-bicep curl ko tong camera na to
sadly this is way beyond my current budget, but I wanna f2 with dp-12 in near future
John Smith: You can get one from Ebay for about £150 / $200 (and upwards).
@@paganphil100 I know and I definitely will when I'll have the money - I live in a financially quite humble conditions. But idk about customs fee in my (authoritarian sht hole) country and it's hard to know whether I should pay or not. If I should it's out of the question then, it's around 30% or even more.
Yeah, customs suck. I'm glad I was able to get one in great condition locally. Anyway, good luck and hope you get to have one eventually! Cheers!
Okay class get 1/4th sheet of pad paper. Number 1- charot
Humanda kayo after ECQ may pa-exam ako
It seems to me that anyone on UA-cam who likes mechanical cameras HAS to make the claim that being non-electronic and reliant on batteries is such a relief of such a huge burden. I for one am quite tired of such nonsense. I support my point of view with a couple of salient facts. One, is it really a burden to carry one or two SR44 batteries? How is this even worth mentioning? If you are on a "mission" to capture images with this or any other camera, you plan in advance and bring a couple of spare batteries! This is less than the weight and volume of pocket change. What happens when you run out of film? You make sure to bring a spare roll. What do you do with digital when your card fills up? You make sure to bring a spare memory card. Why are batteries for these cameras any different? Two, much has been made about the frailty of early electronics and how prone they are to failure. Funny but not anyone who I have read or heard to make this claim has been able to say they have direct experience with this. I have over 2 dozen vintage film cameras, from mechanical manual focus to some of the last autofocus film bodies made (Canon and Nikon). I have had these for years and not had one failure due to faulty electronics. Can and will it happen? Given enough time, absolutely. But it hasn't happened yet, and I don't expect it for some time. The rate of failure is not anywhere near the level of hype it receives. However, if you believe this claim and buy into it, you definitely miss out on experiencing some truly great cameras systems. Also, I believe you have the F2 Photomic which is what I have. I really like the exposure display as well and definitely prefer it over the later SPD prisms. Our prism uses older CDS (Cadmium Sulfide) metering technology, but has that better display. Happy shooting!
If you think it's a brick, why bother. Shoot something else. Didn't even watch past your silly comment.
Meh.
