Well Myron, here I am on a quiet Saturday morning and the first thing I bring up is this video. It was as if I sat down with an old friend and reaffirmed what is right with life. I had to subscribe and leave my first ever comment on KZitem. I could very easily say many words of appreciation, but may I just say It was a soothing balm to the cheerleading hype most often found. I sincerely thank you for your time and effort to transcribe your love for this equipment and thie landscape. It does't hurt that I miss New Mexico and that my bag is filled with old AIS lenses. Best in all things.

Thanks for the video and the great images. Over the decades, I have owned and used Nikon F, F2, F3, F4, EM, N70, and N2000 Nikon 35mm film SLR bodies: In the late 1960s, I started buying Nikkor lenses to use on my Nikon 35mm film SLR bodies. My first lens was a 35mm f/2 My second lens was an 85mm f/1.8 Third lens was a 180mm f/2.8 Fourth lens was a 24mm f/2 Fifth lens was a 400mm f/5.6 Sixth lens was a 1000mm f/11 mirror Seventh lens was 14mm f/2.8 All, except for the 14mm, were manual focus lenses. To this day, except for the F and F3, I still own and use all the Nikon film bodies. The 35, 85, and 180 were pre-AI lenses that I had Nikon convert to AI. During the digital era, I used my lenses on a Fuji modified Nikon D200 (Fuji S5 Pro digital SLR). I also purchased 14-24mm f/2.8, 28-70mm f/2.8, and 80-200mm f/2.8 auto focus zoom lenses to use on my Nikon F-mount bodies.

The D810 although is a 10 year old camera, has an incredible image quality! These old lenses have more character than these ultra sharp ones being sold these days… try a 500 PF used (not too expensive and with an incredible quality)

Nice video, really enjoyed it. I bought my first Nikon F in 1970 and a 105mm f2.5 lens to go with it for my photojournalism major. That was a sweet combination that served me well. I only succumbed to digital this year. Got a really decent Nikon D3000 for 78 bucks from Roberts Photo Pro and use a couple of DX and full frame lenses on it as well as a AI-S Nikkor zoom and a black beauty, the 135mm f3.5 AI-S. I use sunny 16 and gut instinct to figure aperture with old AI-S Nikkors because the D3000 doesn't have the non-CPU programming in the menu. Digital ain't so bad, but I do miss good old Tri-X film. Developing and hand printing is getting to be pretty expensive on my small pension and my old body doesn't want to be messing with chemicals in the darkroom anymore. Now that I dipped a toe in the digital pond, I plan on picking up a pro or semi pro used Nikon digital body and get out there to hunt down good photos with those great old Nikkor lenses. I really Iiked your video. It's nice to know I'm not the only old guy out there who still appreciates the old Nikon glass.

I love my Nikon DSLRs and I got rid of my Z6 mirrorless as I just wasn't that impressed. I recently bought a 200mm f4 Auto Nikkor Q.C. for £60 U.K. ($75). It astonished me how good its images are.

@Cotictimmy. That 200mm f4.0 is a fantastic lens, super sharp, excellent contrast. The AI-S version is pretty compact as well. I started film photography in 1973 and always had one of these in my camera bag. I even modified one as a telescope using a binocular eyepiece with a focuser mounted on a rear lens cap. It is a super sharp, crisp star finder. Looking for an AI-S version to use on my D3000.
