Oct 21, 2006 · The F4 with a 4-cell battery, is noticeably lighter, especially when using lithium cells, than the 6-cell F4S. I use mine in both configurations, along with my F5. I particularly like the F4 when I use the PG-2 rack and pinion device that allows it to easily rotate the camera for vertical format when doing macros.

Mar 1, 2024 · The Nikon F4 from 1988 is arguably Nikon's most capable SLR for manual and AF lenses. Both types can be used without restrictions. Probably the most valuable F-SLR from Nikon, the F4, which is still an ingenious camera for analogue 35mm photography today. For manual lenses, the AF focusing...

May 24, 2014 · After doing some research online, it looks like the best all-rounder/sharp lens for portraiture is the Nikkor 24-120mm f4 (open to other suggestions). However, the 90% compatibility with the Nikon F4 means that I could only shoot in shutter priority, as there's no way to set the aperture on the lens.

Sep 6, 2024 · I was able to purchase a Nikon F4 with a Tamron 28-200 (an independent project) for a fair price. The seller informed me that he could not get the F4 to work. Here's how I quickly checked the F4 without batteries: The F4 is in good external condition. The battery holder is badly damaged and corroded. This would explain a problem with the power ...

Apr 12, 2012 · I was very admired that the eyepiece of one of my F90X actually fits in the F4, but the thread on the eyepiece is shorter and so I'm a bit worried that it might fell out.<br> My question is if someone has any experience of using a DK-17 on the F4 and your feedback.

Oct 11, 2007 · The F4 is the best Nikon I have ever used. I used to shoot mostly with a plain prism F, so I can guess pretty accurately the exposure anytime. The matrix metering on the F4 is on the money 99% of the time. The autofocus is accurate and fast enough. I have not tried the F5 or F6, but compared to the N80 the F4 is more accurate and almost as fast.

The LCD is connected to the contacts on the board via two conductive rubbers and just rests there. On my F4, the conductive rubbers stuck to the contacts a bit, so I carefully lifted out the LCD with an angled probe.

Apr 16, 2017 · I am having some troubles with my Nikon F4. I am having problems with my images being underexposed. When shooting manual I set my aperture ring to where I want it and then I adjust my settings (shutter speed and exposure) according to the exposure meter that you see in the camera. Somehow my images area coming out underexposed and quite grainy.

Jan 4, 2013 · The main user difference is the input method: traditional wheels and knobs for the F4 and electronic on the F100. If you have old glass the F4 wins. The F100 can use the VR feature of modern lenses, the F4 can't. If you also use Nikon digital cameras the F100 is laid out very similar to them.</p>
