Nikkor got a reaction from Emanuel in Blackmagic casually announces 12K URSA Mini Pro Camera
12K on Super35 is just stupid, sorry. Maybe it opens up computational possibilities, but just from a resolultion/sensor size point it's stupid.
12K on a Medium Format sensor is interesting, on s35 it's just marketing and datawaste....

I'd rather shoot with a cellphone than with a 35mm camera.

Nikkor got a reaction from PannySVHS in The Big EOSHD interview: Metabones lens adapters
Yes, with autofocus chip, so I can use my Phase One lenses for video. This would make a very good adapter for professionals who use phase one cameras, as phase one is so kind to NOT OFFER VIDEO!!!!

Hmm, would second that for a L to Mamiya 645 mount. Please! That would give the Kipon Baveyes some good companionship or not.:)

It would be nice if they could release a 0.58x speed booster for Hasseblad lenses to Sony E mount.

Nikkor got a reaction from noone in Your camera of 2025
Didn't know that, but that's not the real thing because digital backs only go up to 645. I really want 6x7.

My camera of 2025 is a digital Mamiya 7. Not going to happen...

Nikkor reacted to Jay60p in The Mystery of the Lost Parfocality
Here is a Nikkor AF 28-85mm f/3.5-4.5 SLR zoom lens mounted on my X-T3,
with the basic Fotodiox adapter for Nikon F.
The lens focus is parfocal from 28mm to 85mm, with a smooth zoom ring, great for video zooms:
So I was surprised to find weeks later that it suddenly was not
holding its focus, it was focusing farther at wide angle (??)
At 85mm, focused manually (a screen grab cropped into the video):
Then zoomed out to 28mm, the focus shifted behind the subject:
Eventually I realized that I was using a different Fotodiox Nikon F adapter this time,
and the only difference was an aperture control ring built in for G lenses:
I compared the thickness of the two adapters with a small C clamp.
The G adapter was a hair shorter than the basic adapter,
and the G adapter had the lens focus going too far past infinity.
So I decided to extend the G adapter’s length a slight bit.
I removed the back of the adapter by removing four screws,
and I added a thin layer of tape to extend the adapter’s overall length:
Finding the right thickness of tape was trial and error.
Thin cardboard, too thick. Duct tape, too thick. Black masking tape worked.
Now after zooming out it is back in focus:
So a mounting error of the thickness of masking tape threw off the zoom’s parfocality!
How thick was this tape? I have an old caliper from my grandfather, and it measures
in 1/1,000 inch increments. (But not wide enough to measure the Nikon adapters):
The masking tape is seven thousandths of an inch thick. That's about a sixth of a millimeter.
The moral of the story: if your vintage zoom lens adapted to your mirrorless camera
appears not parfocal for video, try another brand of adapter, especially if it has infinity focus
adjustments. Apparently all it takes is a few thousandths of an inch to throw it off.

Nikkor reacted to Inazuma in Nikkor 35mm 1.4 - a long, near useless review... with pictures
Ive wanted the 35 1.4 ais forever. I love the way it renders out of focus areas.

Nikkor reacted to BTM_Pix in COVID19 Kibosh
In Murcia, where I am, the President of the region has announced the restriction with immediate effect in coastal municipalities, one of which I live in.
