Season 2 of "Handcrafted America" premieres tonight (Friday, October 21) at 9:30pm Eastern on the INSP network.

We shot this series about master craftsmen and women on a pair of PP matched F3 cameras with Nikon glass. 13 episodes, 39 artists, and I got to shoot every artist. Really fun series, and evidence that there is still some life left in the F3 platform!

Host is Jill Wagner, of ABC's "Wipeout" fame.

What Nikon glass and adapters did you use?

Both cameras have the Optitek Prolock lens mount for Nikon.

While I have used PL glass on other projects, for this one, the lens case includes:

2 Sigma 50-150 lenses (older models)
Tokina 11-20
Nikon 17-35
Nikon 17-55
Nikon 35-70 (metal old school push-pull)
Rokinon 85
Nikon 105 macro 1:1

All are 2.8, except for the Rokinon, which is 1.5 or 1.8.
