On Saturday November 29, 2024. I went to Saint-Bonnet-de-Mûre, near Lyon, France for the last monthly meeting of camera collectors. I found there a stunning lens AF-Nikkor 1:1.8 f=85mm for my Nikon F4 (year 1989). There was also the same lens in the "D" version appeared in 1995 with the Nikon F5. "D" stands for "Distance" that is coded in this Nikkor lenses series and used for the 3D-matrix metering of the Nikon F5. I choose better the non-"D" significantly less expensive and that match better with the period of my Nikon F4 body. I found also a nice small Nikon shoulder bag all black, that I found discrete enough to carry the heavy and massive Nikon F4 that weight more than a medium-format camera.
After detailing the lens and checking the correct functioning fitted to the camera, I loaded on Monday December 2, 2024 an
Ilford HP5+ with the DX coded nominal 400 ISO film sensitivity. Due to some other businesses that took longer than expected, I had to wait a couple of days before going quietly to the "Parc de la Tête d'Or" for testing the lens.
The AF Nikkor lens 1:1.8 f=85mm was fitted with a protective Hoya Skylight (1A) 62mm screw-on filter plus its dedicated Nikon HN-23 metal shade hood. For focusing I used either the single autofocus mode or the manual mode on complicated scenes inside the tropical green houses. As for my medium-format sessions, I took a bit of time to note on a session ticket the main parameters (shutter speed, aperture, focusing distance, flash control mode, etc). When indicated, I used also my Nikon Speedlight SB-26 in the TTL mode.

After completion at view 37, the film was rewound using the rewinding motor (lever R1 then lever R2). During the film rewind (manual or auto) the view counter decrements and I switched-off the R2 lever just arrived at -2 to keep the leader out of the cartridge. I then processed the film developed using 300 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer prepared at the dilution 1+25 for 6min at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) held on a Minolta Auto Bellows with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printed files with frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.

About the camera :
Maybe it would have been better not to ask for this question: « what’s new do you have at the moment?» to my local photo store, because Christine grab underneath the counter, stating « I have that … » . What a beast ! A Nikon F4 in the exact state of the Nikon brochure year 1990, presented with the standard AF Nikkor 1:1.4 f=50mm. I was already hooked by the machine. After two days, I decided to buy it even with some little common issues found on early Nikon F4 (see below), fortunately not affecting the whole, numberous functions of this incredibly complex professional SLR of the year 1990’s.
Nikon F4 came to the market on September 1988 starting with the serial number 2.000.000. Fully manufactured in Japan (modules came from 3 different Nikon factories) the F4's were assembled in Mito, Ibaraki (North to Tokyo) Nikon plant (no more in the mother factory of Tokyo Oi like the Nikon’s F). When I lived in Tokyo in 1990-1991, Nikon F4 was the top-of-the-line of Nikon SLR camera’s. I saw it in particular in Shinjuku Bic Camera store when I bought there, in December 1990 my Nikonos V.
Nikon F4 incorporates many astonishing engineering features as the double vertical-travel curtain shutter capable of the 1/8000s. Compared to the Nikon F3, the F4 was an AF SLR operated by a CCD sensor (200 photo sites). The film is automatically loaded, advanced with to top speed of 5,7 frame/s !! With the MB-21 power grip (F4s version). The F4 is a very heavy camera (1.7kg with the AF Nikkor 1.4/50mm), incredibly tough and well constructed. This exemplary is devoid of any scratches or marks, and in a condition proving that it was not used for hard professional appliances, for those it was however intended. The camera has still it original Nikon neck strap, the original user manual in French. The lens is protected by a Cokin (Franc) Skylight 1A 52mm filter and the original Nikon front cap. The two small LCD displays (one on the F4 body, one in the DP-20 finder) are both affected by the classical syndrome of « bleeding ». Fortunately, all information could still be read. One says that 70% of the early Nikon F4 suffer from this problem but also found on other models.
According its serial number and the production rate of about 5000 units/month, this Nikon F4s was probably manufactured in Mito, Ibaraki, Japan in May 1989.
The camera was exported abroad thereafter attested by the presence of the golden oval little sticker("Passed" on the DP-20 viewfinder. In order to certify the quality production, two Japanese organizations, the Japan Camera Industry Institute (JCII) and the Japan Machinery Design Center (JMDC), joined forces to verify and mark the conformity of products for the foreign market. This is how, between the 1950s and 1980s, this famous little gold sticker was affixed, with the legendary "Passed", meaning that the device had been checked. Finally, when we say that the device had been checked, the production line had been checked because each device could not be checked individually.

About the flash :
I received from a German seller for 50€ this Nikon Speedlight electronic flash SB-26 that was, at the time of Nikon F4, the most powerful dedicated Nikon flash (Guide Number 36 at full power and 100 ISO).
The SB-26 communicates with the Nikon F4 body (and many other Nikon camera's) and can be operated in many different modes including TTL real-time metering with automatic equilibration of the ambient light using the 5-zone matrix metering done by the DP-20 photometric viewer as well in the center-weighted mode. Other possibilities include the normal TTL mode, an Auto mode using the own sensor of the flash and a manual mode with 7 power levels.
The flash head can cover the optical field from super-wide angle lenses 18-20mm, wide-angle lenses 28mm and 35mm, normal lenses 50mm, and long-focal lenses at 70mm and 85mm. The head can be rotated according two axis for indirect lightening. In addition, the SB-26 has a special focusing aid for the Nikon F4 autofocus system, projecting in the the darkness a red focusing image. SB-23 flash can be also used as master or slave flash in a coordinated flash system.
The flash requires 4 AA alkaline cells for approximately 100 lights at full power and much more with energy recycling at lower power levels.
« Caborne » is the vernacular word used in the Lyon city region, France, to name ancient dry-stones huts that could found in the neighboring massif of the Monts d’Or. Dry-stones huts developed in France a lot at the 18th-19th centuries and are no as old as we could first think. This flourishing age is due to the encouragement of the French Kingdom to clear some forestal domains and later to the development of small vineyard and access to the private property for little farming. Those « cabornes » were constructed following empirical rules and know-how of « caborniers », masons and quarrymen. Quarries of limestone in the Monts d’Or are still visible and gave the materials of most of the buildings erected in Lyon in the past.
Today the « cabornes » attract visitors with their ingenuity and rustic charm, often integrated into hiking trails. They evoke a sense of nostalgia and connection to nature, reinforcing regional and cultural identity. Associations of volunteers are organizing initiatives to inventory, restore and rediscovered the ancestral technics of dry-stone construction. Dry-stone huts are also found in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Scotland and Finland as temporary shelter for shepherds and their animals, permanent habitations for monks or agricultural workers, storage and cheese making, etc.
For additional explorations of these « cabornes », I decided to visit different trails starting from Giverdy in Saint-Didier-au-Monts-d’Or on September 1st, 2 and 6, 2025. On Sept. 1st, 2025 my walk was limited to the village of Saint-Fortunat, a small district of Saint-Didier-au-Mont-d’Or, due to heavy rains and stormy weather while the weather forecast predicted only « light rains ». The weather was very fair on Sept. 2 and 6.
I was equipped of my heavy Nikon F4 year 1989 (see below for details about the camera and the lens) fitted with an AF-Nikkor 2/35mm lens and loaded with a black-and-white Adox HR-50 36-exposure film. The film is called « super panchromatic » with an extended spectral sensitivity in the red to the near-IR band. It is said that, recently, HR-50 film was released under the Leica brand (Leica Monopan 50). Processing of these 50 ISO film with extra-fine grain developper, like Adox Atomal 49, gives interesting rendering, with of very smooth and rich tone range and a very high resolution. Both Scala 50 and HR-50 are coated on clear thin (0.1 mm) polyester teraphtalate (PET) basis with black and blue dies layers that dissolve in water for anti-halo properties.
The AF-Nikkor lens 1:2 f=35mm was equipped as indicated below with an Hoya HMC UV 52mm screw-on protective filter or a generic 52mm Yellow filter. A rectangular Minolta shade hood D54KC designed for the MC-Rokkor 1:2.8 f=35mm lens was used for the whole session. The light metering was done using the Nikon F4 through the lens (TTL) systems either in the matrix or the spot metering used in the "A" aperture-priority auto mode or the manual mode.

After completion at view Nr. 38, the film was rewound manually and processed using 400 mL of stock solution of Adox Atomal 49 developer for 8min30 at 20°C plus 1min to compensate the developper exhaustion after the fifth film processed.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) fitted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The diffuse light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite. The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.5 of August 2025) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with documentary smartphone color pictures taken during my walks.

About the lens:
The AF-Nikkor 1:2 f=35mm lens is part of the kit around my Nikon F4 year 1989. The kit now includes 3 very classical AF-Nikkor lenses of the same period of the Nikon F4 camera body, including the standard 1.4/50mm, the 1.8/85mm and the 2/35mm. The choice of fixed-focal lenses instead of zooms was already in 1989 a bit old-fashioned. However many photographers preferred still the homogenous rendering of a photo series done with a single focal lens. Generally speaking, a 35mm focal is a charming moderate wide-angle, very easy to use and particularly adapted for architectural and street-photography.
The AF-Nikkor 1:2 f=35mm is not a rare lens. However, when looked on eBay there was not tens of them available in EU. I bought a good one form a Belgian seller at a normal price (180€). The lens is in very good mechanical and optical condition and came with the rear and front caps. I sourced the dedicated Nikon HN-3 shade hood separately for 10€ .

On December 24, 2024, I picked up my venerable Leica M3 year 1956 (see below for details) for a photowalk in Lyon city, France. I went to Fourvière, enjoying a not too cold (6°C) and clear sunny weather.
My Leica was loaded with a 36-exposure Ilford HP5+ film. I equipped the Summicron 2/5cm lens with a Hoya HMC AUV screw-on 39mm protective filter plus the Leitz shade hood for all indoor scenes, and outdoor I mounted a push-on 42mm FOCA (France) Yellow x2.5 filter and a generic cylindrical stainless steel hood that, unfortunately, induced some vignette if not perfectly aligned, that should be corrected during the processing). I should find a 39mm screw-on filter more safe to use with my Summicron 2/5cm,
Expositions were determined for the indicated 400 ISO (28 DIN) using an Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas and erected for the filter absorption if any.
The outside temperature was about 6°C with a bright sunny weather in the afternoon. Typically exposures outdoor were made at 1/250s with apertures ranging from f/8 to 11 and 1/50s or 1/25s at full aperture f/2 or f/2.8 indoor.
Fourvière, la Chapelle de la Vierge Marie***, December 24, 2024

France
--------
*** THE CHAPEL OF THE VIRGIN
Built in the 12th century, it remains the historical and religious heart of the sanctuary.
Founded in 1174, partially demolished in 1562 during the Wars of Religion, then rebuilt. From the end of the 17th century, the walls were covered with ex-votos painted on canvas. The chapel of the Virgin was completely restored in 2007-2008: access to the chapel is once again through the large door which allows the nave to be illuminated. The altar and the high altar are attributed to the Baroque architect Jean Delamonce.

After exposure, the film was processed in Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developper at dilution 1+25 and 20°C for 6 min. The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures. All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.
About the camera and the lens :
This Leica M3 circa 1956 (Ref. Leitz ISUMO), double stroke, was sold to me with a Leitz Wetzlar Summicron collapsible normal lens 1:2 f=5cm of the same period equipped with a 39mm screw-on protective filter, a 42mm push-on Leica lens cap and an original Leitz shade hood (Ref. Leitz IROOA).
The camera was serviced in Paris, France, in 2018 by Gérard Métrot at Photo-Suffren, (a Leica boutique) who worked on the maintenance of camera's of famous French photographers as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau. The camera was inspected by Odéon-Photo, Paris, another historic Leica place in Paris, in April 2024.
I sourced at the same time in Germany a stunning Leitz Leica leather bag (Ref; Leitz IDCOO) of the same model that appeared on the back cover page go the Leica brochure year 1954. This bag can accommodate the camera and a mounted Leica-Meter type M. The interior in covered with a carmin velvet in perfect condition.
The Leica M3 is one of the most iconic range-finder 35mm camera of the 50's and the 60's. It was produced in Wetzlar, Germany, in different versions at 226178 exemplars, between 1954 (n° 700000) and 1966 (n° 1164865, www.summilux.net/materiel/Leica-M3) . The Leica M3 was the result of the study of a "super-Leica" that was started before WWII and only achieved in the 50'S.
The greater improvement of the M3 compared the classical Leica's was in a magnificent and very complex range-finder combined to the view finder permitting the framing with the two eyes open, integrating the frame in the real and normal vision. The shutter integrates too the normal and the slow speeds in the same barillet. The film advance of this version of Leica M3 is also the typical "double-stroke" advance that was exclusive to the Leica M3 first versions.
The camera was transported to me from Paris to Lyon, France on April 26, 2024 and the bag arrived the day after.
I did this film in Lyon, France, during my visit of the Lumière museum on May 2, 2024 and along the Saône banks on May 3, 2024.
The Leica M3 camera was loaded with a 36-exposure Kodak Tri-X film. The Summicron lens was equipped with a Hoya HMC AUV screw-on 39mm protective filter plus the Leitz shade hood for the first series on May 2 and a push-on 42mm FOCA Dyma filter (coefficient. x3.5 see bellow) for the second part of the film on May 3. Expositions were determined for 400 ISO (or 125 ISO with the Dyma filter) using an Autometer III Minolta light meter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas.
On May 2, the weather was very cloudy and a bit dark ever in the afternoon. Indoor, I used the 1/50s or the 1/25s at full aperture f/2.0, 2.8 or 3.5.
On May 3, outdoor, the weather improved and I used the 1/250s at f/5.6 to f/11 with the Dyma filter. The filter is called "Dyma" due to the presence of neodymium in the glass giving an unusual absorption by bands in the visible spectrum. In particular the blue and yellow colors are more absorbed than the rest of the visible spectrum. The filter existed in two different versions with the coefficient x2.5 or 3.5. Here the 42mm push-on Foca Dyma filter used is a x 3.5. This filter was an exclusive product of Optique et Précision de Levallois S.A. (O.P.L.), France, that produced also the FOCA camera's.

Slides my mom had which I have cheater-digitized; I shot the slides with my dslr while they were on the slide viewer. I don't know where this was taken, and the year is probably about 1965, 67 or 68.
I have good reason to believe now that this was taken at Red River Ski Resort in New Mexico.
