nikon fun

[nikonosguy]

i broke down and got the 10mm fisheye dx lens --- still want a fisheye for my f4 - -- it's an interesting lens- -- takes some getting used to ----

i'm still keeping my eyes out for the old mid 80's super long focal lengths as well as a few period f4s lenses ---- it's also a lot of fun to take the longer lenses and hook them to the fuji finepix s2 --- the crop factor turns a 300 to a 500 ---

has anybody ever used the 250 exp back for the f4s? seems cumbersome more than not -----

what other lenses should be on my oh i gotta try this list?

i am thinking of a rifle stock mount for the f4 ---- anyone have experience rigging this up?

Nice shot. I can only accomplish that with a aux fisheye on a prime lens.

Do you think that would be a safe/wise thing to do? I foresee trouble ...

Frank--the rifle stock would cause some "consternation" when you're out shooting--too many nervous folks out there today.

I think I would love a rifle stock on an F4. I would even love it better on an F36. Did they make it ?

Bushhawk makes rifle stocks for cameras... I know a couple of wildlife photographers who use it - defintely helps with control and tracking birds in flight.

Out in the wilderness, it may be okay to use one, but in urban or semi-urban areas? You'd be asking for trouble.

Perhaps in an urban environment a chest pod might work in place of a rifle stock. I have an LPL Chest Pod which folds up and is very light weight. Google it.
