Last week I mentioned to my buddy that I always wanted an F4. He was browsing at Precision Camera in Austin and saw a body for $150!! He scooped it up and brought it to me as an early Xmas present! Thank you for this video!! I honestly had NO idea what most of the buttons are. Still don't but I can refer to this vid over and over again until I get it.
I’m 4 years late commenting on this video and I’ve been shopping for a more advanced 35mm film camera. I’ve read and heard negative feedbacks about the F4, but somehow I’m very drawn to it. They say it’s slow compared to its predecessors and why they all moved to the Canon system. But! I’ve always been a Nikonian girl 😊 and not deterred by all negativities. The attraction of the N4 are: I will be able to use all my lenses and that is a big plus. Also, the waist focusing and taking photos. I hope I find a good used one soon. Happy shooting, fellow photobug snappers!!!
Thank you! The only detraction I have on the F4 is the weight. It's a perfect blend of the F4 and F5 and a lot of people name it as their favorite camera. I can't really blame them for that, either. It's not my favorite camera or my favorite F, but it's incredible and awesome to use.
Mate another next level presentation thanks. Back in the day I pined after the f4 but as I had the Minolta system with their 300 f2.8 lens I couldn’t afford to switch so I went for the Minolta 9 body which I still have use and love. Later I bought into nikon digital starting with the 1dh then onto the D3s whicj is still going strong I just picked up a f4 body for 300nzd cheap as chips cannot wait to shoot this thing it looks incredible. Have a great 2022 mate really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and expertise📷❤️
thank you so much for these two videos! I just received the F4s as a gift from a friend's dad - my dad had Nikkor 35-70mm f2.8 af lens and I am super excited to use this- but I am also totally bewildered by all its functionality! I am going to refer to this video time and time again! Thanks again!
Hey so I finally got round to exploring the camera and came into some trouble! Just like you mention in the second part of this tutorial, my friend's dad left batteries inside for god knows how long. the corrosion was so bad that that the battery holder in the battery grip wouldn't even come out. I painstakingly cleaned it all the debris out with vinegar but I am still waiting for it to dry before trying it out though I am pretty worried the camera is now out of commission . I had a few follow up questions that I was hoping you could answer if you get the time; If the battery grip is definitely broken can I replace the MB-21 with any other grip or does the grip need to be replaced with the same MB-21? also any tip or trying to bring my camera back to life? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Many Thanks :D
JUST bought a Nikon f4 and I thought who better to go to than your good self to work out all its little quirks, like what does this button do and why can't I get this to work etc. And like you always do David, you solved all my issues! Thank-you.
I have only just bought my F4 so am a bit late watching your video instruction manual (both parts). I would just like to thank you for so much useful information. You have already shed light on some areas that weren't that obvious to me beforehand. I am sure that I shall be viewing these again.
Hi David, I trust you are well. I picked up my Nikon F4E recently and linked it with a 20-35mm F/2.8 Nikkor AF. Enough said. Outstanding combination. Most grateful for your 2 videos.
I got mine a month ago. One of the last produced in mint condition. The weight is good,.... while shooting with the F4 i can train my muscles for my RZ67.
Hi! Is the lcd bleed a major issue? Does it impact the shooting experience? As long as I can still see the green focus dot it should be ok, right…? Thank you! 🙏 Also, does every f4 need a battery grip to operate/use AF or can I still use it without one?
For the LCD, it won't prevent your camera from working correctly, just prevent you from knowing what it's doing. For the batteries, you'll need them to do anything with this camera.
@@DavidHancock Thank you, Mr. Hancock! I really appreciate it! Just bought one on ebay with lcd bleed and am excited to try it out! From what I've read/seen on the internet, the F4 is pretty accurate for exposure and AF. Do you have any tips for using it in low light/indoors?
@@DavidHancock I also wanted to ask about how you've been focusing with this camera? I've read online that photographers tend to half press first, focus on something that is the equivalent distance to what they want to photograph, and then recompose and shoot.
Hi David, Could you help me better understand what you are talking about at 00:45-00:58 ? Are you saying that even though the image seen through the viewfinder is only 70% of what is going to reach the film only that 70% will be imprinted on the negative?
I sure can. The 70% had nothing to do with the film and the entire negative will be used. The camera's prism reduces the size of the image you will see when you look through it. So the magnification is just related to the wait you see the scene while composing the image in the viewfinder.
Just a small correction, but the switch around the autofocus lock button actually changes the function of the button to lock exposure and focus when the button is pressed when on the two dot setting or just focus on the one dot setting. the lever does NOT lock focus.
hey mate using my nikon 4. can help with double exp lever re you just meant to hold as your shooting or pull it once. for a double shot and tripe what do you? found that it got stuck over laping
I have the standard F4 (With MB-20 grip). This makes this camera far lighter and more manageable for everyday [non-professional] use . I believe the US standard model (although I may be in error) was the MB-21.. It sure is a beast with that extra weight attached. I think I have one of the last to leave the factory in 1996.. It's in beautiful condition. One of the best aspects of the F4 (among many) is its ability to attach and [stop down] meter with even the earliest Nikkor Pre-Ai lenses. It handles so well, it feels incredible in the hand (but not in smaller hands), it's just a pleasure to use with that big bright viewfinder (i prefer it with an E screen fitted).. it's an incredible piece of machinery.
The later F4 bodies were significantly better than the first ones. I have one of the oldest ones with the possibility of it having all the known problems like the sticky frame count reset pin and electronics "personality." I would be happy with a MB-20 for sure. I tried to buy one for this but they're a bit spendy for a camera I won't keep after the review is done. I do really like using it, though.
David Hancock It really is a fantastic camera.. The most groundbreaking, I think, of the F range.. The first F was a incredible camera but it was basically a Nikon Rangefinder body with a prism, the F2: a more Refined F, the F3 an electronic F2.. The F4 was something completely different altogether I think..
Are there any prime locations in a camera bag(backpack stle) to place a desiccant pack? It's got gear in all mesh pockets and velcro dividers. Just throw it on top?
@@DavidHancock you're joking, you're vat least informing those who were born with a dslr around their neck how film worked. You have any good rolling film in a darkroom stories? Because desire practicing all the motions in light, get into the dark room, drop your scissors, use a can opener by feel. You can be in the dark room alot longer then you intended.
Been out in steady rain hundreds of times. Camera still works like new. It was made to be used in bad weather. That is why I bought it. If something goes wrong they are cheap(for now)
I have an F3 that I love, but I can't get over the fact that there's no vertical grip for portrait-orientation shooting. I'll have to give the F4 a try one day. Can't wait for part 2, David.
Thank you! I like the F3 a bit more because it's lighter, but the F4 is a magnificent camera. The vertical grip on the -21 battery pack is fantastic. I can see why so many people have this as their favorite camera.
I usually with a D4s 24-70 and a flash.. I finally bought a F4 thinking it is to be so heavy, but compared that, F4s is a feather. Anyway I am glad I got the grandaddy to my D4s,
I love the F4, I was asked to produce a book for my church 13 years ago, I used the F4 and Fuji slide film, 5,000 copies were printed but I received no payment but I have my place reserved in heaven, getting closer every day.
That's a huge undertaking! I'm supposed to be taking photos of all my church members at the end of this month. Thank goodness it's a small congregation!
I recentli baught a F4 with MB 23 when i press the trigger nothing happens , only a green light comes on under the left of the prisim plus the red light flashes from ehe iso area ???????????
Hmm. I'm not sure. I haven't run into that before. I couldn't say reliably if that's a setting or a problem with the electronics. I'd suggest asking the folks at the Photrio Forum or the Nikon Forums and seeing if they have ideas.
That depends on the format. To figure that out you can use the format to 35mm crop factor. Those are 645: 0.62, 6X6: 0.55, and 6X7: 0.5. Then take the focal length of the medium-format camera lens and multiply it by the crop factor. So if you're shooting 6X7 and have a 100mm lens on the front of it, 100mm X 0.5 = 50mm. The equivalent is based on the image format.
"complicated"? - oh no, it`s a pure camera for stills with only the nubs and dials it needs, all self-explanatory, no confusing menu, that`s what I like
@@DavidHancock Don’t get me wrong, I still appreciate how much information is here (and part 2) that is missing in almost every other video. There’s an incredible amount of value in here!
@@discodoe1 Thank you! I am definitely cognizant that my old videos needed lighting work. Ultimately, content is kind and hopefully people focus on their baskets during the video. That's what I used to tell myself. 😃
Oh shoot. I goofed. My interface shows a list of comments next to the video thumbnail and I didn't read the thumbnail text, just looked at it out of the corner of my eye and I thought it was for the Maxxum 7000. For the F4, I thing that the LCD failure rate has to be low, like around 1% or lower. I would still say that hose that were stored badly or cared for badly exhibit it the most. Being left in a hot car, in a garage over winter to freeze, etc., will cause an LCD to fail far more rapidly than being kept inside.
PLEASE ANSWER!! No matter what lens I use, the aperture ring won’t move when on camera. I took it to a repair shop and they told me that the camera is in perfect shape.
David Hancock I have tried a lot of D and F lenses. Even with the exact same lens you are using in the video. I actually “solved” it by putting something in the little thing (so it gets stuck) that is controlled by the depth of field preview button. Now it works like a charm.
@@DavidHancock Based on my experience, if you have an AF-D or AF-S lens, many (perhaps all) have a switch on the barrel to allow you to choose manual focusing, and if you have that locked so it only autofocuses, the aperture is locked at that f/stop until you disengage that focus lock. Once you do that, then you can use whatever aperture you like. So far, this has only happened to me when in Aperture Priority mode.
by the way that 0.72x is the same as that stated for the Leica m models, ie 0.72 gives you 35mm lens coverage, as well as 28mm, if you had 0.85 x the wide end would not all be covered by the viewfinder magnification!!- why it's so crucial when selecting an M digital or film rangefinder body!
That's true for rangefinder cameras. That's not true for SLRs. The 0.72x is the reduction from image size as the light passes through the pentaprism. Any lens focal length will have the image reduced by 28% at the eyepiece compared to on the film. That's what the magnification means in SLR viewfinders.

If the f4 takes G lenses on two modes I assume these are shutter priority and Program in which case you don't have to set aperture anyway?
You are correct, program and shutter-priority will work with G lenses.
What lens is equivalent to the 80mm lens on medium format? Would it be a 50mm lens for the 35mm camera?
That depends on the format. To figure that out you can use the format to 35mm crop factor. Those are 645: 0.62, 6X6: 0.55, and 6X7: 0.5.

David Hancock Thank you. I have the Mamiya 645 with an 80mm. So that’ll give me 49.6 rounded off to a 50mm lens for the 35mm camera?
That sounds correct. 80mm is the 'standard' lens on 645 like 50mm is 'standard' for 35mm.
