I just fall in love, what a passion you show when talk about all this.

Dear Steven, many thanks for sharing all these videos that are a clear demonstration of your passion for craftmanship.

Thank you, Steven. In this video, you endorse all that I (personally) believe in Nikon Pre - A I, A I, & A I - S optics; the significance of the 'rabbit ear' coupling was not lost on me. Your passion for these cameras & accompanying lenses is clearly defined. I too love my Nikons !

Like the F3 and the F4, the Nikon FE can also accept the pre-AI lenses, as it also has the button which lifts up the tab on the camera body.

The best overview of Nikon lenses I ever heard. Thank you.

Super interesting. I have been shooting with a Nikkormat FT3 from around 1983-84 up to when I switched to digital and had no idea why some of my lenses had that shoe. I still have this camera and it works like new. Best camera ever. Thanks for the video!

Fantastic video. Great information. Love the B-roll. Love the music. Very interesting naration. Very useful. Thank-you for doing it.

Nikon's commitment to lifelong quality and product compatability is admirable, and typical of Japanese manufacturing. Just like with musical instruments, Japan has the truest dedication to quality. Japanese manufacturers like Murumatsu, Yamaha, and Pearl offer instruments that last a lifetime and give solid performance. Steven, thank you for sharing your passion with the rest of the world.

Nice. This is probably one of the best videos on these lenses. Good explanation of the evolution and functions.

I think too many people just copy the info from somewhere else for their script or notes, and the result is all over the place.

I'm a bit late.to the party, but really enjoyed this interesting and informative video. Clear and concise explanation charting the history of Nikon meter coupling systems. Thank you for uploading.

I am a Nikon fan, I hope to meet you and go on a long photography tour with you.
I greatly admire you and believe that you are the best YouTuber ever when it comes to talking about Nikon cameras.
With full appreciation and respect : ) Anas

I have the 55mm F2.8 Micro lense. I use it primarily for micro photographs of jewelry. The sharpness is incredible.

[swansong]

You are very knowledgeable about Nikon equipment. I’ve learnt a lot from watching your channel. Great stuff.

My father recently passed away and I have all of his Nikon camera equipment. Series F, and FN body plus a range of lenses. Your video was amazing and exactly what I needed to know. I'm looking into a mirrorless Z6ii, I'm so excited to be able to use his old lenses 😊

[pascalcr]

Finally someone producing super high quality videos, its amazing. thanks a lot

Just discovered your channel Tanno-san. I am picking up photography again after a 30 year gap. I am a fan of older Nikon glass. I currently only use D90 with both AF and non-AF lenses. Hope for more content on a subject we love .... old Nikon glass !!

17:53 Hi, Steven! About a year ago I saw your videos about the Nikon F3 when researching where to strategically spend my money as a student. Your advice helped a lot. Thank you. ❤

Recently I stumbled onto the 35mm f1.4 lens you recommended at a flea market for about 80€. Probably the best value lens purchase I’ve made so far. Thanks you for this amazing tip.

Take much care and keep up the great work!

I bought a Nikkormat in 1972 (I think) with a Nikkor-H 50mm f/2 and later on a Nikkor-Q 200mm f/4 which I still have. I have used these lenses on my Z6 with an FTZ adapter and I love the smoothness and the color in these lenses. The Nikkormat is used by my son when he want to experiment with film.

[Der_Marc]

So helpful 🎉 Thank you Steven. The overview at 14:30 is really good 👍🏼

I bought a new Black NikonFtn with 85mm f/1.8 and a second used Nikon F with 35mm f/2.0 in 1971 to do photojournalism at college. It was very easy to get pretty girls who wouldn’t ordinarily give me the time of day to pose for photos with those two impressive camera hanging from each shoulder and a promise of free copies of the photos. I didn’t use the neck straps I put a key ring through the right strap boss and attached both ends of the strap to it. I still have the used Nikon F and both lenses.
