Vendesi: Nikon F801 (N8008) a pellicola con imballi originali e scatto remoto

“Vendo su Ebay per scambiare piccoli beni usati non a scopo di lucro. Come per molti altri utenti anche per me si tratta di un piccolo ed utile hobby. Per questo mi sforzo di dare sempre, quando è necessario, una esatta descrizione di ciò che vendo perché ci tengo che l’acquirente sia alla fine soddisfatto, così come vorrei essere soddisfatto io, se fossi nei suoi panni. Fatemi domande se nelle mie inserzioni qualcosa non è chiara, o non siete d’accordo su qualcosa. Vi invito inoltre a dare un’occhiata ai miei feedback costruiti su transazioni reali e basati sulla comunicazione e fiducia reciproca. “

Vendo, dopo aver acquistato la tanto desiderata Nikon F100,  Reflex semi-professionale detta dai fotografi di un tempo IL MULO per la sua robustezza e qualità costruttiva.

Inutile dire che me ne privo dopo averla usata (poco a dire la verità) con grande soddisfazione. La macchina è perfetta. L’ho acquistata un anno fa su ebay da un “maniaco” amatore che la teneva per collezione.

Oggetto della vendita

Nella vendita sono compresi, oltre la macchina fotografica (senza obiettivi),  lo scatto remoto Nikon MC-12A ed il Focusing Screen originale Nikon (da soli valgono più di 30 euro).

Non previsto nella vendita

Non posso fornire il manuale originale (cartaceo) ma soltanto una copia elettronica la quale vi sarà inviata via email. Non è previsto nessun altro oggetto se non quelli elencati nel paragrafo “Oggetto della vendita”.

Descrizione

Ecco cosa ne dice il sito Nital.it (importatore italiano della Nikon):

Tipo: fotocamera reflex autofocus 24X36mm, con esposimetro TTL incorporato
Tempi di posa: da 30 sec. a 1/8000 e B
Gamma sensibilità: ISO 25-5000 (DX), 6-6400 (manuale)
Otturatore: a tendina sul piano focale
Sincro-flash: contatto diretto; sincro X, 1/250 sec.
Predisposizione motore: con motore incorporato
Inizio produzione: 1988
Peso: 775 gr. (comprese batterie)

All’epoca della sua presentazione, questa fotocamera vantava il motore più rapido tra quelli integrati (3,3 fotogrammi/secondo), ed è stata la prima Nikon dotata di display a cristalli liquidi sul tettuccio e di un selettore principale di controllo.
Era l’apparecchio più completo in listino, con tempi di posa fino a 1/8000 sec., e un autofocus molto veloce.
Le opzioni per quanto concerne i modi di esposizione comprendevano l’automatismo programmato normale, con tempi rapidi e dual, oltre alle due priorità e alla modalità manuale.
Tra le altre caratteristiche, il pentaprisma high eyepoint (ideale per chi fa uso degli occhiali), la misurazione multi-zona Nikon Matrix o semispot a scelta, la compesazione dell’esposizione, il blocco della memoria, le esposizioni multiple, il flash TTL con fill-in automatico misurazione Matrix, la possibilità di sincronizzazione sulla seconda tendina, l’autoscatto variabile, l’avvisatore acustico, il riavvolgimento automatico del film e gli schermi di messa a fuoco intercambiabili.
In sostanza, un apparecchio al top, adatto sia all’impiego delle ottiche AF Nikkor che degli AIS con messa a fuoco manuale. Rispetto alle fotocamere prodotte in precedenza, il logotipo di identificazione (F-801 o N8008) è a destra, mentre la dicitura AF viene spostata dall’altro lato dell’obbiettivo.

Nell’aprile 1991, la F-801 venne affiancata da una nuova versione, la F-801s (N8008s per il mercato americano), con un sistema autofocus ancora più veloce e l’aggiunta della misurazione spot, mutata dalla F4. Per tutti gli altri aspetti, l’apparecchio è identico alla F-801.

Nikon F801s / N8008s compatibility Issue on various versions of Nikkor lenses:- The Nikon F-801s is designed for autofocus photography with AF Nikkor lenses (except AF-Nikkor lenses for F3AF). However, most other Nikon lenses can be used for standard photography according to the conditions listed in the following chart.

* Some lenses cannot be attached to the F-801s/N8008s:
** K1 ring cannot be attached to AF Nikkor lenses. The ring may damage CPU contacts Use PK-11A or BR-6 instead.
*** PK-1 PK-2, PK-3 and PN-I rings cannot be attached to the F-801s. PK-11 ring cannot be attached to any AF Nikkor lense – These rings may damage CPU contacts. Use PK 11A for AF Nikkor lenses instead of PK-11.

O:-Compatible X:- Incompatible

*1 With maximum effective aperture of f/5.6 or faster when using the TC-16A Autofocus Converter.
*2 With maximum aperture faster than f/5.6.
*3 Set shutter speed to 1/125 sec. or slower,
*4 Because the diaphragm is coupled to the focusing ring, determining exposure is independent from camera’s metering system.
*5 Aperture cannot be selected.
*6 Set preset ring, then use AE-lock lever before shifting.
*7 Set preset ring, then determine exposure before shifting.
*8 With Ai- or Ai-S-type Nikkor lenses having maximum aperture of f/3.5 or faster.
*9 With maximum effective aperture of f/5.6 or faster.
*10 Shutter should be released after exposure is measured by stopping down PB-6.
*11 Stop-down exposure measurement will be performed.

ACCESSORY COMPATIBILITY The following accessories cannot be used with the Nikon F-801s/N8008s:-
Close-up Attachments PK 1 – 3, PN-1, K2, BR-2
Body Cap BF-1
Eyepiece Accessories for F3HP/F3T

a) Nikon PK-1, PK-11, BR-4 and K-1 rings cannot be mounted directly on AF Nikkor lenses.
b) The Nikon Matrix meter evaluates scene brightness and contrast using a five-segment sensor. Since coloured fillers and neutral density filters which have a high exposure factor will also significantly affect a scene’s contrast rendition, they may cause the meter to incorrectly identify the scene’s actual contrast/brightness condition. The blue (B12), orange (056) and red (Ri filters are examples of such coloured filters.
c) Linear polorizer are not compatible with the viewing system used in Nikon AF cameras. For the best results and to maintain autofocus and exposure operation, we recommend using a circular polarizer, which is fully compatible with the Nikon system. Using a linear polariser, however, will not damage the Nikon system, and it may be used for fully manual focusing and exposure settings made without using the built-in meter or electronic rangefinder.
d) Special filters, such as soft focus filters, cannot be used for autofocus or for manual focus with electronic range finder.

The Nikon F-801s’s accessory shoe lets you directly mount a wide range of Nikon dedicated electronic Speedlight, including SB-24, SB-23, SB-22, SB-20, SB-18, SB-16B and SB-15 etc. Each unit takes full advantage of the F-801s’s built-in computer, which automatically synchronizes the camera’s shutter and lens aperture to provide precisely controlled exposures.

This means you can perform automatic balanced Fill-Flash in TTL made in every flash shooting situation, for beautiful, naturally balanced foregrounds and backgrounds. Automatic balanced Fill-Flash lets you choose any at the four different flash categories shown, matching your Speedlight TTL mode with the appropriate metering system and exposure mode.

Notes on Nikon F801s/N8008s Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash When taking flash pictures, although the subject is usually well illuminated, background lighting can vary dramatically. This is especially true when the main subject is very close, and the background is relatively dark or only moderately bright. Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash balances both the subject and background illumination, automatically. How? Matrix Metering adjusts for the background and the TTL flash exposure level, so the flash illumination is balanced and won’t overpower the foreground subject. This creates a natural and pleasing effect, filling in harsh shadows and bringing out subject detail without losing the correct background exposure. This system operates automatically: based on a combination of general scene brightness and contrast, the exposure value for the background is determined by one of five computation methods: Low-Brightness Weighted, Centre-Segment, Average, High-Brightness Weighted, or Very-High-Brightness Weighted. Flash exposure value is controlled in a similar way. The combination of ambient light and flash light is balanced to produce a natural and pleasing effect.

In Programmed Auto (PD, P, PH) modes, the sync speed of 1/250 sec. has priority, but when the aperture reaches its largest limit (variable according to ISO film speed), the program line fixes the shutter speed at 1/60 second. Aperture is controlled between f/4 (at ISO 100) and the lens’ smallest aperture. In Shutter- Priority Auto (S) mode, you can choose sync speeds from 1/250 to 30 sec., enabling you to shoot, for example, a cityscape of night lights, with automatic flash exposure for foreground subjects. Aperture is controlled between f/2.8 (at any ISO film speed) and the lens’ smallest aperture. In Aperture-Priority Auto (A) mode, you select aperture and the camera selects a suitable sync speed, within a range of 1/60 to 1/250 sec. (at any ISO film speed). With Manual (M), you control both aperture and shutter speed while the flash exposure is determined by scene brightness and contrast, with Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash control throughout. In S and M modes, when you select a shutter speed faster than 1/250 sec. and then turn the flash unit ON, the F-801(s) automatically shifts to 1/250 sec.
