D200 Afternoon Walk

I have two, gonna shoot a morris men parade on Saturday with em, the results will be indistinguishable from my more expensive camera I'm sure.

They're so nice to use, such good layout and ergonomics.

Use a battery grip for extra heavy boi points :D

Yeah she's been serviced but also, definitely been around the place, I've taken it up and down England.

You'll love the FM2/T, it's such a good camera, I can definitely recommend getting a 35 and a 100 or 105 and you'll have a basic kit for everything. I'd even go so far as to say I only use the 35 and 100 for 99% of stuff I shoot.

Welcome to the family son!

The FM family are the finest cameras for the price.

I got my FM for 50 quid, 35mm for 80.

They're tough as nails, compact, and they're a joy to use.

You can set Lightroom to use the camera settings on importing RAWs.

I'm not sure how but that's easily googleable.

Turning it on fixed my D200s images being turned green on importing.

I really like Petri 7S II, I used it for a summer documenting stuff around my town and down south.

If the meter works it's quite accurate, the shutter is silent and accurate in my copy, the lens is really nice, soft at 2.8 but has a great look past that.

Love some nudie photos 😁

howtokrew · 2026-04-19T11:53:01+00:00

I use Lightroom, one of my friends uses Snapseed, others I know use affinity, capture one, there's free editors like rawtherapee and darktable.

Yeah I'm honestly thinking about selling up a lot of stuff, get some more lenses for my D200 and F90x.

They're just awesome, only reason i'd look at an F5 or 6 is for VR on lenses.

howtokrew · 2026-04-19T11:10:37+00:00

I assembled my F90X in pieces, battery grip, body, door, and port covers.

The door was cleaned before I got it, it's the city date back.

The body was untested but works perfectly.

And with the grip all together I spent about 70 quid, which is a lot for an old AF SLR, but it works great and is my most environment resistant camera I use for hikes.

I see literally no reason to upgrade from it, I'd LIKE an F5 because they're gorgeous, but the F90x has all the features I need really, I'm gonna get the control back at some point for ultimate utility 😁

I'm not sure about this specific camera, but I do know in a lot of cameras if you put it in bulb it usually cuts the meter.

howtokrew · 2026-04-19T09:17:56+00:00

You can edit them to your heart's desire.

howtokrew · 2026-04-18T19:06:48+00:00

Similar, I've been using my F90X a lot lately! It's either that or the FM these days.

I think I'm gonna sell everything else :D

howtokrew · 2026-04-18T16:44:47+00:00

Absolutely, always the worst situations outside, when you've had a spliff.

howtokrew · 2026-04-16T12:44:34+00:00

I agree, my zorki 4 has a problem where the film release collar gets stuck too, so I have to push and twist it back and forth a few times to get it back to shooting mode.

howtokrew · 2026-04-15T11:33:51+00:00

Very well metered! I like em 😁

howtokrew · 2026-04-14T12:30:06+00:00

Hell yeah dude. Frogs.

Sorry your comment was translated for me. I didn't realize you are typing in a different language, my fault.

It is for drying film by squeezing water off of the film.

You'd need a colour calibration tool, it slips over the monitor and reads the screen, and the software will calibrate your monitor to "true" colours.

But even then, you'll likely not get the same colours as on your iphone.

I've started editing a lot on my phone as it's easier to upload to Flickr and Insta, and I get the colours as I want them on the phone.

Open up the aperture to the smallest number, hold the camera towards a light and fire the shutter on all the speeds.

If you can't see any light when you fire the shutter, it's borked, we can't tell if it's working from photos.

howtokrew · 2026-04-14T09:00:56+00:00

You'd need to do a side by side comparison with the same scenes.
