The Camerosity Podcast returns with Episode 85 where we wander back into the wonderful world of high end camera auctions.  For this episode, we went all the way to Vienna, Austria and invited Jo Geier from Mint and Rare Cameras and the Wetzlar Camera Auctions.  In addition to Jo, we also welcomed back Dan Tamarkin from Tamarkin Camera and Auctions. Joining Anthony, Paul, Theo, Mike, and our two special guests are returning callers Brian McDomnhaill, Dan Cuny, Fernando Villava, Gheerwijn Clicque, Ira Cohen, Wes Loder, Miles Libak, Tom Zoss, and Wayne Scheipers, As you might expect when you have two of the world's most respected camera auctioneers on the same episode, we talk about a lot of super rare and collectible cameras.  Everything from the original Ur-Leica to rare cameras like the Carl Zeiss Jena Contax, the Australian Snider 35 rangefinder, and Luxus Leicas.  In addition to some pretty deep GAS, some love is given to several more affordable cameras like the Canon P, Tower/Nicca rangefinders, and the Nikon F4. In addition to GAS, several great questions were raised including whether or not the definition of 'rare' has changed over the years, whether or not finding collectible cameras is getting harder to find, and why there aren't more younger people collecting cameras. Jo tells us his origin story to how he started both companies and shares with us what his 'white whale' camera would be, Dan and Jo show appreciation for each other and talk about how they have collaborated in the past, including a very special Leica which Dan found at a Pennsylvania garage sale.  We revisit the need to get old cameras repaired sooner than later and how quickly experts in certain cameras are disappearing, tips and tricks for new collectors, and Jo proposes a $10 "ugly" camera challenge for anyone going to a camera show. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you! Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. For our next episode, we are are going to the suggestion box and covering a topic that you all have told us you wanted to learn more about, adapting lenses.  There are many people in this hobby who love cameras, but love the lenses more.  While an old Kodak Ektra might be pretty to sit on the shelf, it is more practical to adapt that lens to a modern digital camera and see what kinds of results you can get from it.  Episode 86 will be dedicated to the hobby of using old lenses on modern digital cameras.  We will record Episode 86 at our regular time on Monday, February 10th at 7pm Central Standard Time and 8pm Eastern Standard Time.  If you live in a different time zone and would like to participate, be sure to check your favorite time zone calculator to find out the exact time in your region.

While we have given cameras like the F, F2, and F3 their own separate episodes, the final three "Big F's" in Nikon's lineup were more evolutions of each other and were a radical departure from the previous manual cameras of the group. So on today's episode, we dig into the F4, F5, and the F6 to wrap this series up (finally). Like the original F, the F4 did not come out of a vacuum but rather from a combination of other cameras that acted as proof of concepts. The first is the Nikon FG which gave Nikon their first complete AE SLR, then the Nikon FA, which offered Matrix metering, and finally, the F-501, which introduced the original form of autofocus. These all culminated in 1988's Nikon F4. Again turning to the design first of Giroetto Giugiaro, the new design was big, bulky, and retained much of the manual control surfaces that many photographers were used to during this period. The camera won a design award that year, and despite being polarising, it proved that professional cameras could have full AE, integrated motor drives and, more importantly, autofocus. The F4 also has matrix metering; you could add a 250-shot magazine, use pre-AI lenses, and swap out the battery grips to add specific features and increase the frame rate in burst mode. The main weak point in the camera is the autofocus; it's far from perfect and often described as slow in a modern context. But already looking forward, in the early 1990s, Nikon was again improving their cameras. Using things like the F90(x) to move to more buttons, menus and dial-style interface and building a single unibody camera, the F5 arrived in 1998. The F5 proved to be the ultimate culmination of all the previous cameras. An improved 3D Colour Matrix Metering, limited support for manual focus lenses, but full autofocus support even for the new G-Type lenses. Plus, support for AF-S and VR-equipped lenses. The unibody design housed the 8 AA batteries. But unlike previous cameras, there were limited abilities to modify the camera. You could swap out the prism heads and add a databack (the MF-28 is the one you want), but that was about it. But the F5 left a lasting impression as the unibody design was carried over to the first pro digital SLR, the D1 and continued well into the last pro-SLR, the D5. But most pros had gone digital when the F5 ended production in 2004. But there was still a market segment that wanted to shoot 35mm. Meet the F6, a film camera born out of the digital age. With a look and feel similar to the digital SLRs of the era, the D2x and D200, this camera is chock-full of the best metering, autofocus, and other features. Plus, you could add or remove the battery grip to ensure the best use of space. And you had far better support for manual focus lenses (just not pre-AI), with full 3D Colour Matrix Metering. These days all three cameras are excellent performers; it's a matter of figuring out what you want.

My name is Billy Newman, I was just talking the other day about using terminal on the Macintosh terminal has been a Unix interface. It's been in the Macintosh operating since about the year 2000. When, what was it when they switched over from whatever like Mac OS nine to Mac OS 10. And that was the transition when they kind of switched the framework over to a Unix based framework, I think where they call it Darwin on the Macintosh. Really interesting love the way that that works. That's really what makes the Mac OS mac os 10. So stay was so so useful was a lot of the work that was done to set it up on an older framework of a Unix file system. But but really cool stuff. So I talked a little bit about that on the last flash briefing, what I wanted to talk about today was a specific command the sips command. So as this is a photo oriented flash briefing, the sips command is really cool, it allows you to do all this, this internal image processing that that I really didn't think you would be able to do in it right away. But like for, I guess, for instance, you can resize a whole folder of photographs to some preset resolution. So if you're in a hurry, and you had a folder of images that were maybe full size, and you wanted to have a copy of those images, but you wanted to have a web size version, say there were only 2500 pixels across, you know, you've seen one or two, like kind of shrink them down a little bit from their full size JPEG version. So you maybe would make a copy of that folder on your desktop, let's say you go to terminal, you'd orient yourself to that directory and then I think you'd type in sips and then I think it was like space z or something like that. And then you'd like list the file directory for where the photos are located. And then you like type in like a certain syntax to give you the the files or sorry, not the file size, but the JPEG resolution that it's going to re render that image to and then when you hit enter, it executes the command and then within terminal renders out or you can you can kind of watch it render out as it kind of goes to each of those images and reframes it resizes it and then gives you the new file size and the directory of Finder. It's really cool to see it's kind of fun to to try out, especially if you're kind of in a hurry. And if you want to kind of get geeky into into stuff in Terminal but the sips command you can do terminal man space sips si PS. And you can learn a little bit more about the image processing system inside the Mac. 2:56 You can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo comm you can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think you can look at that Bitly Newman under the author's section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert, on surrealism on camping and cool stuff over there. I wanted to touch him today and talk about a trip that I just just finished up going on out to have to Central Oregon over to the high desert area in Eastern Oregon I guess it's Eastern Oregon kind of over near the bend area we went up to Smith rock this last week and did some camping out over there had a great time is it's pretty nice but we did the the hike over there at Smith rock and I guess I wanted to do just to kind of short podcast about about the area over by by Smith rock some of the hiking that you can do and some of the trip and photo stuff that we were working on over there but yeah, I had a great time and nobody Smith rock took off for a pretty quick easy weekend trip. You know what's great about living here in Oregon on like the I five corridor is you can just kind of jump over to Eastern Oregon over over the cascade pass which is definitely tracking a drive it's different than that just being on the freeway, but it's pretty cool Yeah, jumping over the highways and getting over kind of into the backcountry in the Cascades and then heading over over the past and then down into the high desert area of Eastern Oregon over there. So yeah, when three sisters headed over to Terra bond, and then went into the Smith rock State Park area. Really man the thing I guess I should say is Yeah, Smith rock is just world class camping or hiking area. You really can't camp there. I guess you can kind of camp out in a tent. You can kind of bivouac there. I guess some of the rock climbers do that. But there's also like another spot the area we can to is this campground called skull hollow, which is about maybe five miles away or so it's really not too far of a drive but yeah, hop in the car, go around the mountain. And then on the backside of that you can you can hang out and set up a camp. I think it's there. We were at was Probably I guess I guess it's BLM maybe it's like state forest or some of the stuff but it was dispersed camping areas so you can kind of drive up this road pull out on the side and kind of walk your tent over and you know just go feet and set it up hang out is all free and you're just sitting out there in the, in the scrub of the sagebrush and on some lumpy ground and I think there's like open range cattle that walk through there to other times we would camp there in the past I think Marina and I had been there maybe years ago and we had camped just a couple spots off and the place that we were this weekend we put up the tent hung out there had the car parked there and then that morning we woke up in the tent we could hear like a bunch of big footsteps around and sounds and animals and we were thinking oh man, that's weird. And we had zip the screen on the tent looked outside and we were surrounded by cows. Were you out? Yeah, I don't know because because it's going to walk through in their little group during the night or during the morning and ended up in the acreage around where we were yeah kind of cool about open range cattle and stuff but it's fun hanging out over there yeah check it out the Scott Hall campground was cool get our camp set up over there was cool had a couple tenths going and yeah, took off went over to Smith rock did the hiking trip over that that was pretty cool. That's where we did some of our photo stuff most of the hike was like kind of a cool afternoon hike. It's really a great one because it's it's a couple miles it's definitely challenging. If you're not super used to hiking you could do it but you could you should try it out for a little bit. We're not trained for Urbino get ready I got busted up my feet I got some hotspots and stuff so it's like maybe there's three miles four miles I'm not sure it takes about four hours or so you got to take in like an average sort of mellow pace you but it's cool you know the the lower part you know goes around like the crooked river maybe it's only two hours I don't know we went around the lower part around the crooked river which is really cool how the way that the area was formed is really like if you kind of look at it from the outside me the ranch land it's all surrounding is this pretty high or it's higher in elevation is just kind of this this flatter area and then it comes up to the crooked river where it drops off into this rim Rock Canyon and then Smith rock is the volcanic 7:18 remnant that's been left there as the erosion of the river is kind of wrapped by it and pulled away all the sediment that was there that would just kind of make it look like a average boring hillside and so now you have these these really exposed like vivid kind of crisp volcanic rocks that are just alien to the activity that we see and erosion commonly across the earth here so smooth rock get pretty cool pretty unique spot to go hike around at but yeah really fun to kind of jump in there really interesting kind of spot to be yeah did the hike around the crooked river side up to the backside were like monkey faces I was really cool with with a couple people that hadn't been there before so we got to catch on that that area for the first time. And yeah, monkey face is such a cool phenomenon because really when you come around that corner it does. And through is the anthropomorphic I guess it's animal Yeah, anthropomorphic look like and like that's when you make an animal a person right? What is it when you make a rock an animal hmm I don't know that word, but it looks like a monkey it just looks like a monkey's face. So it's called monkey there's no way so so yeah, we hiked around that spire of monkey face and started going up the misery Ridge trail. It's just a bunch of switchbacks. It kind of gets you up in elevation to get you to the top of the Smith rock rock there and yet walked around the top here for a bit and then hiked down the backside of it yeah really cool spot to check out over on the Smith rock side there's a bunch of other camping and hiking and stuff you can kind of do there other than just the the top over loop of the trail but there's there's other shows that kind of go around the east side of the park that's got some really cool stuff and then we're just talking about hiking and taking pictures and stuff a little bit so far but really the cool thing there is all the rock climbing stuff that you do all the the sport climbing that goes on and and I think that's really cool we there's there's a there's really a lot more hikers there today than there were there were sport climbers there's there's definitely like a handful of people that were out there but I didn't see and it's probably because the conditions were I think scheduled to be pretty bad like I think it was raining a lot of the day so I don't think a lot of people probably set up their their rock climbing rigs for a day in the rain but but I've definitely seen people there and really odd times of the year like super early March middle of the winter, early April and stuff maybe there's better time of the year to to do some of the types of climbs and stuff but yeah, I was hoping to find some people do like a multi pitch climb. I remember seeing that a couple years ago on one of the surfaces where you're just thinking like Wow, those people are hundreds of feet up. That means you like to bring the rope up once and then pull it all up and then lead climate again and then like bow I just like wow, how do you do that? That's so so yeah really scary kinda interesting stuff how to do all the all the rock climbing stuff. But man I wish I wish I knew a little bit more about I got to do it kind of 10:14 what I don't know as, I guess would be like gym sport climbing for weeks not not months even. And it's fun it's fun to check out from the learning about but man like being on the rock over and Smith rock is a lot different I got to go climb over there one time years ago. And just like getting on the rock and trying to like fill out the routes and stuff is so much different than kind of going for that hole on the wall and the rock gym and stuff it's just really interesting kind of get the experience of being hot and cold. And having all your like outdoor gear on and stuff and you know, you just kind of exposed to the wind and the elements and stuff. And then you're also trying to like pull up this pull up this mountain side too at the same time. So it's kind of fun. It's it's cool getting used to data, no trying to rock climb stuff. But man Yeah, interesting during the climb and being delayed and doing all that stuff. As far as stuff goes, we did a couple a couple 360 things that was kind of cool going over to Smith rock and shooting. But trying to get into some 360 photo work where last year, we did like a lot of a lot of video clips, which is really cool. I really liked those stock video clips, we produced a lot of places and we shot a ton of photos too, which is awesome. But But now I'm also trying to get into a bunch of a bunch of pieces where we can, well, I want to try and get the I want to try and get like collections of photos. And then I'm sort of starting to learn about where you can put these in like virtual tours. So you could put maybe four or five or whatever would take you know, you kind of go to the specific spots in a location or something and then you you get the 360 photograph and then you can kind of pieces together as a tour. So you can go from one 360 to the next 360 is sort of this immersion well, so I'm trying to check that out trying to learn about if, if that'll work for me very well. But But yeah, I've tried to do some 360 photo stuff where you take the photo, then you pull it into Affinity Photo, that's another program. I'm using it on the Mac right now, I think it's available on PC as well. It's sort of a Photoshop competitor, you can buy outright, I think for maybe $79 or something like that. It's it's really not as expensive as the the Creative Cloud purchases for continuation. But the reason I guess I bring up affinity photos, it's kind of noted as one of the better tools right now to project your stitch two 360 photo as an actual actual rectilinear projection in the program. And then you can still use the editing programs in the program. So so like, I guess, like the new Final Cut Pro has an ability to project the 360 photograph while you're editing it. So you could add in new materials to it like, I don't know, like just plates of information, they'll stay up in the 360 space that you're at as you move through it. It's interesting how it is you can kind of stitch things into the fabric of the scene within Final Cut in the video, and you can heal your Nadir point. So the base view is your Nadir at the top of you as your Zenith point. So the native point and a 360 photograph is where that tripod is going to be or where you are going to be in the photographer is going to be below it sort of thing. So So that's kind of an interesting part of it, where you got to kind of go through and I guess this is what affinity is for is you open up the photo after it's stitched, you open it in affinity and then you can go down and heal out the base there where your tripod was or where the person was that was taking the picture. And then you can have this kind of full 360 photograph without kind of a block at the bottom that said it's just a couple people. So yeah, it's kind of cool. So I'm trying to open it up in affinity and do a couple color adjustments to it, which is cool, that you can go through and do do kind of like post color correction stuff to some of the photographs, you can kind of do that with the 360 video, but you also kind of can't do it with the 360 video as well. And kind of add some color correction. Like you can't have been Final Cut. But it's really not the same as photo editing, I guess, you know, obviously. But it's kind of cool. We've been having a good time trying to edit together those the 360 photos. I'm trying to go through a bunch of the photos I've taken last year as well. And put those together and hope to well no is it? What is that 361 I skip in my mind right now there's like this 360 view here. I think it's V or VR. And it's sort of like a YouTube channel for 360 videos and stuff. YouTube also takes 360s as well as much other places. But it's Yeah, it's kind of a cool little photo and video sharing site for 360 content and social network and app and all that kind of stuff. But yeah, I put some stuff up there and it's we've got two people that are specifically interested in looking at 360 images and content would go But yeah, it's mostly it's kind of fun. So yeah, 360 staff, so photo staff had the Canon equipment out there. I was trying to take some landscape photos was cool. The the weekend weather was I think I had mentioned there was kind of a forecast to rain. Really that was like some thunderstorms that were blowing across the Cascades. I think they're just a bigger weather system 15:06 overall this weekend, not to mention the Perseids, which is you get back to on another podcast that was probably this, but they got kind of clouded out for me. Shoot, 15:15 I want to see some meteor showers. So I'm not talking about the proceeds. But I guess kind of going back. 15:25 Just the campus stuff, it was cool. We were really happy that we got to go out and do the camping stuff. And sorry that we didn't get to see the Parisians. But I don't know, I guess we're camping out and stuff. So that was pretty cool. It was thunderstorms that rolled over the Cascades. And then we have these big hits. We're really fortunate that I guess the big system, which I look really active, I pulled up the weather map on on dark sky, the weather app that I have on my phone. And you can see just this big red hotspot, maybe 25 miles or 30 miles to the north east of us. And it was probably just, you know, a ton of rain, hail ton of lightning. So I'm really glad we didn't get wiped over by that. That's pretty cool. But really, yeah, it was a cool kind of textured night where there's just a lot of clouds. And like a lot of kind of thunderstorms and stuff. It's cool that the airplanes are kind of coming in real low, they had to go around around this huge thunderstorm system. So they were coming in real low, and kind of making these sort of strange routes. But just kind of fun to see that I remember seeing that a couple of times in the past when thunderstorms have come in, and airlines would have to take just these kind of big alternate routes to get around this, this thunderstorm cells. So that was kind of cool. Check it out. We were taking pictures of it as the sun was going down when there's a rainbow kind of right as the evening was coming, coming to a close of our camp. So I was refund got some cool pictures, that and that's what I love. I love that that time of day or you know, right at the end of the day, it's a certain type of lighting effect that happens when there's really like mostly clouds over the sky. But right as the evening the western sky has a gap where it's clear, and the sun is able to shine through that pocket there and you get a lot of light that bounces back between the cloud surface above you and the ground below you where you're kind of in this little pocket where it just sort of sort of reflects against itself but you get this kind of warmer, sort of diffuse town around everything kind of changes the way the shadows are, it's different than overcast, you know where you get a diffusion of the shadows, but this one you get a really crisp kind of saturated quality to the light and it's a lot better than I think the softer sort of white light that you get in the diffuser stances of overcast days. But yeah, you get a lot of cool kind of rich contrast in those landscape photos with that kind of lighting condition sort of during that golden hour time with the right kind of cloud effect and stuff really beautiful really soft kind of easy to expose for photography kind of lights up. Yeah beautiful spot to be really kind of surreal, colorful looking. location and evening and yeah, fun hanging out, watch the thunderstorms, camping out getting rained on, maybe getting one a little bit. All part of the experience of being outside being in Eastern Oregon definitely got a little sunburn sore, all the rest of it. But yeah, going out and camping and stuff.

I really liked a lot of the Nikon stuff, but I also noticed I really liked the Nikon stuff, I'll leave it at that. I just noticed that sometimes some of the accessory equipment outside of the body that you might buy, I bet some of the lenses are expensive, or they're a little more expensive than maybe some of the commensurate lenses that might be available over in canon. And I remember back in college someone was mentioning to me that they were going to switch from Nikon over to canon because canon was a bigger company. I don't know if this is really a reason or not. It was interesting logic though, to kind of think through at the time that that canon was a larger company selling more lenses, making more cameras making more equipment. And so they had more resources, more staff, more designers, working on cameras, building cameras, and doing research and development to kind of bring that that forward. And I think even maybe now that's still perhaps true like if you if you look at some of the technologies in Nikon versus canon like we're just kind of to take a base idea of it, though I love Nikon stuff a lot but If you were to take like the D five, I think that's a 20 megapixel sensor. Whereas in if you were to look at the newer nine or barmy, canon five D Mark four that's I think like 3136 I don't know it's out there in the 30 maybe I think it's a 30 megapixel camera. And I think perhaps the five D Mark three is a 23 megapixel camera. So it was interesting, just kind of noticing a couple of those things. Now I understand that there's benefits to the lower megapixel rating for some of the low light performance that you get a high SLS. And I think that's maybe sometimes where Nikon performs well. But then there's also Sony who's producing 42 megapixel cameras and they're doing incredible things in low light, but also even better stuff with a seven s, which I think is the the version of the camera that's specifically around some of the higher end video features. And I think it's a 12 megapixel camera that does incredible stuff in low light, like almost like you know, 100,000 so you can get really amazing low light images and low light video. So it's interesting how how that that kind of sensor technology works. But all that being said, it's just interesting that for a long time, even way back in history, like to the beginning of the digital SLR, I think canon was way ahead in what they're producing, as far as their sensors go, and what they're able to produce, like megapixels, or in fidelity of an image I think they had they had a what was the first one, I think Nikon did not have a full frame digital SLR and tell the Nikon d3 came out which was a fantastic camera. And I had that one also as a use camera that about later loved the d3. But it was interesting that they Yeah, like they didn't have a full frame DSLR camera option until 2007, I think when that came out, whereas on the Canon inside, I think that the EOS one, D, the one DS is that right? I think it was the one DS was the first was the first full frame camera produced by canon. And that was way back. And I think that was still like around eight megapixels, or maybe 10 megapixels for the mark two and that they had some technology that was just far more advanced for the time of 2000 to 2003 2004. Then what canon had going on prior to when Nikon, you know what I mean? Right? So anyway, that fast forwards to, to me in fall of 2018 I'm looking around for another camera purchase because I was going to be moving I was going to be taking a job where I was I was going to be working every day doing family portrait photography, and a lot of like wedding photography stuff to where I needed to depend on the memory card system that would be in the camera where like on the Sony side, like I had mentioned before, there were some limitations to it. And one of the other limitations was that it only accepted SD cards, which are right now I'm actually kind of learning are fine, you know, you can use an SD card for just about anything, but I also liked the opportunity, or the option to have compact flash card or maybe it's a USM USM USD. That's $1 I'm not sure but the compact flash card system that that goes in, I always thought that was like a little bit more professional when you put that in. And I just wanted like more memory options. So with the I think the five D Mark three that I decided to pick up used that had the the Compact Flash slot, and it also had the SD card slot, and you had the ability to record to nadp video and you had the ability to take photographs, you had the ability to do like high frame rate burst series for photographs. And it just seemed like it seemed like it was a great workhorse camera that the five D series and I think that's what people have been talking about, even since like the five D Mark two when they announced the the HD video recording features on DSLRs. So I think that when even before that, you know it was just it was one of the top top use cameras for wedding photographers and stuff. So for me, I was trying to find something that would be like a good workhorse camera where it could always kind of count on it and the battery system and the memory card and the lens arrangement that would be available to me that I could really just be hammering away on frames, and and then be bringing those in editing them and then kind of delivering them to clients in a pretty fast manner. So I thought that would be something that would help me out. And I think I was right. I think it was a good choice though. There are fantastic options with like the ACE seven, Mark three, or the a seven, three and the a seven are three. I think both of those have kind of solved a lot of those issues that I've been talking about where they've adjusted the battery system. And they've adjusted the just some of the blackout problems that I was talking about before, but but I was happy to switch over to the cannon side of it. I think also because that reason I was talking about two words. Yeah, no blackout, and I really liked being able to use the through the lens viewfinder of the SLR as opposed to the digital SLR or just looking at it on the screen so all those reasons were kind of why I wanted to get back to the the DSLR system instead of the the interchangeable lens camera system but it was great so so back I think in September I was looking around a lot I sold the a seven are off and then I was trying to hunt around for options for me to get a well priced canon five D Mark three and then I also bought one for Marina so she had a five D Mark three body and then we could kind of share lenses for two so I wanted to get up and running and I wanted to talk about like some of the lens stuff that I was interested in too It's interesting kind of switching over to canon now just kind of seeing you know what's available and what's available in the US market which for me and for you know someone that doesn't want to spend a ton of stuff getting a pretty high level professional level set of photography equipment, it's interesting to kind of comb around through the US market and figure out good pieces to use I think almost every camera system I've ever had it's been something that I've made a purchase of off of the US marketplace in some manner you know, I haven't bought a new film camera that's for sure. So it was interesting kind of tried to figure that out a little bit and I've always had really good luck with that I hear some bad stories out there but really it seems like a lot of photographers take pretty good care of their their camera equipment in a way that at least seems really quite usable for me so what I ended up with it at some point and I save a ton of money doing it too and I don't have to deal with the heavy depreciation because like by the time I I end up wanting to sell it it really hasn't moved that much in the marketplace a lot of the time you know it only ends up being like a few $100 to purchase that camera because when you sell it again you get a lot of that money back and as opposed to well I'll get into that story a second but but like when I made a purchase of it that camera was really quite new and it had appreciated a lot and value from the new price the new sticker price from the in the store in the camera store price to what it was when I bought it used so so it was a fantastic deal to kind of pick it up and find like a good one out there. So so yeah back in was it back in September I was hunting around in Oregon trying to find a good five D Mark three body so I was trying to debate a little bit I was looking around on eBay for five D Mark threes that would be available and I was looking around on kth and those are two locations that I kind of made purchases from before when I was making a purchase online. I like eBay and I sold a bunch of stuff on eBay I sold my a seminar on eBay, I sold my d3 when I that made a purchase the d3 I think from K h and I sold that d3 on eBay and I made my money back it was great, it worked pretty well. But when I was looking around I didn't really find the price point that I wanted for the five D Mark three line I think those are all running around 18 or 1900 bucks for the five D Mark three bodies are being sold but I'm sure I don't know it seemed like the market was a little lower than that at the time. And then when I looked on kth it was sort of the same story were ones that were in bargain condition you know where they'd been pretty beaten up or probably had been the you know, someone's wedding photography camera where it would really hammered out 100,000 or 200,000 frames already had a few seasons of weddings over the last couple of years and the person was trying to offload that gear and then you know upgrade to their their five D Mark for their one dx or something like that. So I kind of wanted to stay away from those in a way I'm sure they would have been functioning cameras and the way that they had been reported but there's really no way to like get an observation of the camera and its function in your hand while you have it to see that it's really like as clean or as in good condition as you'd want it to be for something that you're going to spend 18 $100 for when I was buying used cameras it was sub $1,000 purchases so it was like well you know, it's got a couple scuffs on it or something like that, but but really they were always quite nice in in their physical condition. So what I ended up deciding to do was instead of making a purchase on eBay or on kth what I decided to do was try and check out the the local marketplaces so I went on Craigslist to look at the classified listings that were there in the photo and video equipment for sale listing in my area. And I kind of scoured across Oregon to find you know a couple good pieces so I was trying to look in the Portland area. I was looking over in the bend area I was looking in the Eugene area and I was also looking up into like the Seattle and Tacoma area as well because I thought well you know if I need to then I'll drive up a little ways and I might save hundreds of dollars trying to make a purchase for a nice camera system. So I thought that might be a good idea. And then in addition to craigslist I was also getting into the Facebook marketplace where I was selling a ton of mag. My stuff from a house when I was trying to set up this move over here to Maui. So I was looking around at that I was saying well maybe I can check out and see if there's camera equipment that are also listed there too. And that actually worked out really well. I was pretty impressed with it. So for the camera bodies I found two canon five D Mark three bodies one of them I found over I'm banned for $1,000 flat which is incredible deal i think i think i got that brand on that one. It it had been used I think for for just like a single project that that someone had I think they don't need to have a business or they're paid to do it. So they made a purchase of a five D Mark three and then they shot like a series of web instruction like instructional videos for YouTube for a company that had purchased it and then they hadn't used that equipment in a while since then. So they were going to sell that camera off and get some of their money back. So I got the camera for $1,000 even which was fantastic. It really barely even had like rub marks on it on the base of it. You know like when you look at the camera body physically, the rubber was in fantastic shape. And the baseplate like where the tripod would go I think was the only area where there's a little bit of a scuff but it was fantastic. It was really cool that that it worked out so well for me so I made a purchase of that camera for 1000. Then I was looking around and I found another one up in the Portland area that a real estate agent had bought to take photographs of their property and then I think they'd found out that they didn't really want to five D Mark three but they wanted a Sony camera. And so they made a purchase of a Sony camera just a few months after that. And then to make up the cost of that purchase they wanted to sell off the Canon five D Mark three that they had and so I saw and I got the box too which is interesting I got the box for the five D Mark three had the receipt from the camera store that they bought it for it was you know 20 $600 when they bought it maybe 12 months ago or 11 months ago and I looked at the shutter count of it. There's maybe 1900 pictures have been taken on the camera body when I made a purchase of it so it was really almost like a brand new camera. I think I was put 1000 frames on it a day at the job that I had so 32:15 yeah it was I I've already broken it in quite a bit more than it had been when I made a purchase of it so it was really cool getting such a new camera for such a low price so saving a few $1,000 trying to put it put the these this package of equipment together was excellent and I was really happy to do that. And that was one thing I noticed about the the Canon US market is there's just and this is sort of back to that thing it's a bigger company and they're selling more cameras out there so it was cool that there's just so much used gear out in the market where as opposed to you know if I was looking for a D 100 on the Nikon side or or a D four or something like that it would be pretty hard to find those bodies I guess in that condition or you know in that way and then for that price it seemed like and same same goes for like a Canon one dx that I was trying to find that on the US market those are really held by professionals or sports photographers and those bodies were really be and still very expensive when I was looking around for them. But it seemed like there's so many people that were interested in doing wedding photography or doing photography as a hobby that they would kind of lean into the higher price range and pick up a five D Mark three and then find out why maybe I don't want it or maybe I want to switch over to a five D Mark for now. And so they were ditching those and offloading those for way lower prices. So it was excellent time to kind of come in pick those cameras up and and kind of start getting set up but the other thing I noticed is that Okay, so now we have the five D bodies. Now we're going to need lenses to work on these so what I was looking for was the the USM as well what was it the 24 to 70 f two a lenses that were for like the professional full frame cameras and I was fortunate to find those again on the Facebook marketplace I think I found one in the Eugene area and I got a USM 124 to 70 which was a great price and then I also found a USM 224 to 70 that had been used more I definitely could tell that it had been used more this even though was a newer version lens that it definitely had I think some more wear on it and that's that's probably the lens that though still works great still has great optical clarity but it's probably the one that seems the most tired when I'm using it sometimes so it's interesting sometimes but but I'm sure I probably put a ton of work on it to just kind of racking it back and forth trying to get all these different photographs I was trying to shoot so i don't know i lenses don't last forever and they're mechanical pieces. But but these are really well built you know these, these professional hourglass systems are really sturdy and well built and I was really impressed with how they were working. So I had a great time using it and I didn't really I seem to run into any problems while I was trying to produce produce photographs with it but I found yeah I found one of them one of the lenses in the Eugene area and then I found another one up in Portland so I drove up to pick that lens up and then add you know add to five D Mark threes and 224 to 70 f two eight lenses to throw on there to do a bunch of the family portrait stuff and a bunch of the you know kind of lifestyle images that I was trying to do so it was a great starting setup for me to kind of get and then move out from and so I had been working with that for a couple months and I've been trying to kind of expand from that since then and so the stuff that I'm looking for now well so I started looking into like some things for like real estate photography and one of the things that's always required for that stuff is is like a really wide angle lens. So when I was looking around with the company that I was working with they were looking for images between 17 millimeters full frame and 20 millimeters on a full frame camera and so I went ahead and I purchased the the 17 to 40 millimeter f four lens it was actually really quite inexpensive i mean you know, again coming from like the Nikon so when I thought like wow that's gonna be more than $1,000 to pick up to pick up a lens for it was really low price I think it was about $520 to buy a new 17 to 40 millimeter 36:30 lens that was like that Yeah, the f4 that I was talking about. So I picked that one up to do some of the real estate photography and that amortize pretty quickly to get into it to use that for real estate jobs. It kind of paid for itself just in a couple jobs along without the cameras themselves and the 24 to 70 sort of paid for themselves by hammering out a bunch of family portrait sessions with them. So both of those things kind of worked out pretty well but in addition to that what I'm looking for is like the 50 millimeter f one four lens I was looking at that too and I'm looking at those new because and this is sort of i'm saying is it's just it seems like Canon lens prices are sort of dropping down a bit maybe there's newer lenses and I know there's you know the there's way higher end lenses but the 50 millimeter f one for kind of lower end lens perhaps is I think 299 which is really super cheap i think that's that's what I paid for a 35 millimeter dx lens on my on my old camera system, you know, on the Nikon stuff so so I was I think what was it like that the 28 millimeter f two lens I had for my Sony camera that was like 450 bucks when I bought it used right so it was awesome to find to find like that 50 millimeter f1 for for 299 and then in addition to that, for other portrait stuff, if I wanted to do it, I could pick up an 85 millimeter f1 eight for 299 also and I was like wow these are way more reasonable price ranges then then what I thought so it just really for for not that much, you could probably put together a full range of prime lenses that I'd want to use and I could put together a full range of zoom lenses that I wanted to use that were all kind of higher end glass that that would be great for you know, professional stuff, or the lifestyle stuff or the you know, whatever kind of photography stuff I wanted to expand into. And then on top of that I 38:25 was looking at the though I would love an FTA I was looking at the zoom lenses and one thing I've kind of learned from this job that I was working with is is really when you're working with compression and like when you're working like with with zoom and you're using the compression of the lens past you know 70 millimeters like into the 80 millimeter or 100 millimeter out to 200 f two A is a is a real soft and a lot of times if especially if you're taking pictures of a couple people together and you're not trying to just rack right into to focus in on an eye and even when you're taking a picture a portrait of someone you really have to kind of crank it up to f4 f5 to get a depth of field that's thick enough to get their their nose, their eyes in their ear in focus and the way that you'd need to and it seems like well you know, like love super shallow depth of field but it seems like you want to get the person in focus so you got to get a few parts of them and focus. Remember taking self portraits you know like I hold the camera out in front of me with the with the Canon 50 millimeter one eight. I tried to take a picture of Marina and I somewhere and I remember Marina would be just just on the plane in front of me, you know, because we're trying to stand right next to each other and maybe I would be in focus. But then Marina just one or two inches in front of my nose would be completely out of focus. It would look just like a super blurry kind of washed area because the depth of field was so shallow. That's where I was trying to, you know, kind of finally learning like oh yeah, okay, so maybe f1 eight isn't absolutely what you have to have for every photograph that you take or f1 for or whatever might be, so I was gonna find in that part out where Okay, well I'm gonna have to rack this out to like f5 or f8 anyway to get a sharp photograph of the thing that I'm trying to get an image of. So I have kind of rounded out that I'm going to be fine for a lot of the landscape photography that I'm interested in doing, I'm going to be fine kind of jumping into lenses that are around that f4 line. So I was looking at the the USM 72 200 f4 lens that they have. And so I think it's, I think that the two eight, the f2 eight lens that's 70 to 200 is like around 1500 bucks, but the f4 is about 600 bucks, I think it's like 599 to pick up a 70 to 200 USM lens now it doesn't have the image stabilization on Nikon, I call it vibration reduction is that right? But it doesn't have the image stabilization and I think it is probably lacking some of the some other additional features because I know there's two versions after that, that escalate in price quite a bit. But if you're looking for that older one, it's still available on Amazon for 599, which is a great price. If you want to get a 70 to 200 I think that was really cool and there's a lot of things you could do with it. Again, like I was saying with the compression, if you're going out to 225 millimetres and you're shooting it f4 that's going to give you a really nice bokeh in the background. And you're going to get the person in focus if you need to, if you're shooting a portrait and if you're shooting some kind of landscape or wildlife scene, you're going to be able to do a lot with that too. You're just gonna have a lot of flexibility in what you're able to do I love fast lenses I'd really like to always push for you to wait or have 1.2 or something like that but but I'm loving the fact that there's an opportunity for me to get a whole range of focal lengths as I'm trying to transition over into new gear for a much much lower price than what I was expecting so I think that's pretty cool I've been pretty happy with this transition over into canon equipment so far and it's been it's been interesting you know the the thing that I'm thanks a lot for checking out this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast.

This week Nikon invited me to come to Florida to shoot with the new Nikon Z6. This was a press event with several other YouTubers and 3 Nikon Ambassadors. This is a glimpse behind the scenes of what we were doing with the Nikon Z6 and I sat down to talk to Matthew Jordon Smith and Chris Hershman about their careers and excitement around the new Nikon mirrorless camera.

I just received a Nikon Z6 and I'm off to Florida tomorrow to put this thru the paces. I'm going to reserve technical judgement until I've had a chance to use it for a while, but the Nikon Z6 is beautiful. I haven't used the Z7 so this is my first go-round with Nikon mirrorless. But since we're opening boxes, its not just Nikon. Some amazing photos from viewers as well! • Tom Barr https://ootlier.com/ • Lee Jackson https://leejo.github.io Check out my other videos: • Dear Nikon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lDMOyNwA4Y • 35mm photography and the Nikon F3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5SkJTfvQtc • 5 reasons you should own a Nikon F4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QfZly4L9C4 • Nikon F5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYUPQY3pNls • Nikon D7100 Review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIh4jHnEJQ8 Music is from Epidemic Sound.

Introduced in 1988, the Nikon F4 is one of the classics in the F series of 35mm SLR film cameras. It was the second flagship Nikon camera to incorporate autofocus (after the Nikon F3AF in 1983) and also added Matrix metering to the lineup. I bough mine in the early 2000’s and it was my main camera for several years. One of the best film cameras Nikon made and here are 5 reasons why you should own one.
