On the Nikon F4, they are just not as responsive as on the Nikon F6. There’s also the issue of user experience offered by the Nikon F4 when shooting more contemporary G-series lenses. But, the Nikon F4’s problem isn’t just isolated to its width. Its 4 Double-A battery compartment makes its hand grip stick out like a sore thumb.Īlright, I admit it! I cannot get over the issue of girth. I also love how I do not need to rely on my right hand to change the aperture setting. Personally, I love how It has analog dials and controls for the shutter speed, film speed, metering mode, and focusing mode, in addition to having the option to rewind the film manually. However, if size doesn’t matter - that is to say - if I do not have to be encumbered by a camera’s heft, then the best camera in my book would be the Nikon F4. So if you have one and it breaks on you, you’re out of luck.
And if all that were not enough of a deterrent, the Contax G system depends too much on electronics that can no longer be serviced.
IS THE NIKON F6 G LENS COMPATIBLE MANUAL
That said, it does not have through-the-lens viewing and an ergonomically intuitive manual focus mechanism - both being essentially a deal breaker for me. Best of all, it is compact with a selection of tiny lenses. It ticks off most of the boxes, with manual controls in all the right places along with autofocus. Of course, there is also the Contax G System. Invariably, this ruins their photo taking ergonomics.
IS THE NIKON F6 G LENS COMPATIBLE FULL
If however compactness is all I care about, then why don’t I just rely on my iPhone or carry around a compact camera like the Contax T2 - which I did for over ten years? Unfortunately, both the iPhone and Contax T2 do not have full manual controls where actual knobs and dials should be. For the sake of compactness, I am willing to forgo the prospect of accurate through-the-lens framing, autofocus, and spot metering. That said, Leica optics are remarkably precise for their size. In short, they are inferior to (D)SLRs and mirrorless cameras. And if it weren’t for the fact that rangefinders are compact, I wouldn’t opt for a Leica M-mount camera. They’re antiquated, whether we’re talking about film or digital rangefinders. They’re not particularly accurate to frame, don’t have autofocus, and cannot do spot metering through the viewfinder. For the most part, I believe there is much to dislike about rangefinders.
You might not believe me, but I do not particularly find Leica rangefinders to be the best cameras around.
