As a photographer, you know that capturing those amazing photos is just the beginning of the process. The second half of the battle comes the moment you stick those memory cards in your computer. Editing can take hours upon hours and the more time you spend before uploading and delivering the final photos, the more potential there is for things to go wrong. That’s where smart previews come in.
The Nikonos V is one of my favorite cameras. It’s one of the few film cameras that has an integrated waterproof housing so you can shoot it like a normal 35mm camera without a bulky underwater housing case. Well almost, normally…
To be honest, it was a pretty fun camera to shoot with. The waist level viewfinder is big and bright which made focusing pretty easy, and for the size of the negatives that it’s producing, it’s still a fairly compact package.
It’s not perfect by any means. It doesn’t give you a ton of control while shooting, manual focusing with the distance markings is a little tricky, and the lens is certainly not gonna win any sharpness awards. But what it lacks in specs, it makes up for with heart and simplicity and the pure fun of shooting it.
