Understanding the Context

The Nikon F3, introduced in 1980, is considered one of the great SLR classics. Built to the highest standards, durable, reliable, almost entirely made of metal, embedded in arguably the largest system program for an SLR, and produced for 21 years. It's no wonder th... The Nikon engineers could have labeled then R1, R2, R3, and R4.

Key Insights

When you set the ring to R4 it means that if you shoot at f/4 you will get optimum sharpness on your subject and background bokeh at this setting. Setting it above or below will start to affect the sharpness of the subject. Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28-70 2.8 ED vs Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70 ED Does anyone have any info on the differences and relative speeds of the various Nikon autofocus systems. I have a N70 - CAM 274. I was looking at the N80 and D70 - CAM 900 and F100 Cam 1300 (also in F5).

Final Thoughts

I noticed some of the newer cameras have a CAM 2000 system. Yes, Nikon's 35-70 has a very good reputation, but the 28-70 will of course give you a bit longer range of focals so, if optically similar, I would opt for the Tokina. I don't know about the Tokina (though I am looking into getting the 12-24) but don't overlook the Tamron 28-75/2.8. A very, very good mid-range zoom. I like the SB-28 and SB-28dx even more.<P>The Nikon Speedlights from the SB-23 forward will all work fine with the F4s, The warning about the Sb-24 and the 20mm lens combination is because the flash doesn't have the built in wide angle lens on the flash -- which the SB-25, SB26, SB27, SB28, SB28dx, SB50dx and SB80dx do have.
