A Winter Walk
Переглядів 1697 років тому
This is my first short film. Shot with my Sony a6000 and Sigma 30mm f1.4 lens. Second to last scene shot with the Helios 44-2 f2.0 manually focused.
what camera do you have?
Sony a6000
Is it a raw video edited?
The FD 28-50mm f3.5 is the best FD zoom they made, parfocal, sharp wide open. It’s just hard to find.
Me gusta esa música excelente trabajo
@Travis Forbear What were your settings on your camera? I have the a5000 and I am looking to buy the same lens because it makes beautiful videos. Did you have your ISO set or were you on auto? And were you shooting with wide open aperture?
Not quite sure about all the settings, it's been a while. Most of the video was probably shot between f3.5 up to f8. Iso usually at 100 for video. Manual mode.
hi, what kind of adapter did you use?
I believe it was the fotodiox fd to E mount.
I still use Canon FD lenses with Canon M50 - 35-105 and 70-210, they are extremely good, especially the second one, they produce a much better image than modern lenses!
Hi Travis, we have the same camera (canon 5dm2). I am interested in getting this lens but from what I read online, there is an issue with the back element hitting the mirror of the camera when focus to infinity. Can you verify if this is an issue and what kind of lens adapter do you have for this lens? Thank you.
Beautiful work. Post more muchacho!
Are these blueish shadows from the lens or is it grading ?
I have sony a6000. I was considering buying this lens. Your video helped a lot. Thanks.
Very good video! Very nice pictures ! You talk about macro shots, does that mean that the primary utility of this video lens is primarily for the macro? because I would like to buy it for normal video use.
no the macro isn't the best in fact it's best for normal video use as it keeps it's focus with changes in zoom
fantastic. heavily influencing my purchase right now haha
Bro awesome video And the rest of your video gallery it's amazing 👏👏👍
Thank you.😊 I need to get out and make more for sure.
it's wonderful to see the same lenses my family used when i was a kid with our Cannon AE1 SLR, being used for film!
Nice video. I have the same lens. But in my lens itś not possible to get any sharp image on objects that is far away. Like 100 meters away and so on. Things that is far away will not be sharp. But maybe itś how the lens is. Itś more like a macro lens and not for filming or taking photos of mountain and so on.
Lovely footage.
this is the most beautiful video
This is awesome!
Would this lens work well on my Canon 600D/Rebel T3i? If so, I might invest in the mods for it.
Yes, you just need an adapter with a focal reducer. I use it with one and it works just fine. Just make sure to buy a decent one. The extra glass in the reducer can make the lens soft if it's cheap glass. Check around and I'm sure you'll find one that is affordable.
Hey man, Where are you today ? I coming from the future, is 2020 here, please put more videos !! Maybe tell a story,. Thanks.
I just found your video wooow… a great one Bro…..I love to buy that Lens too...cheaper as Tamron 90mm f2.8..I maybe should buy Adapter but would you please tell me is it a good buy if I buy SONY LA EA4 Adapter for my camera Sony Alpha 5100? Because it is E-Mount camera...is this lens fit for E-Mount camera or should I buy an Adapter? Many thanks for the video and if you answer me thousand thanks :) regards from Munich (Newbie in camera-world)
Hi Monika, I use fotodiox fd to e adapters. This lens is full manual so the Sony adapter you want would be fine, but it is meant for auto focus lenses. It's a great adapter, just pricey. I don't own many auto focus lenses for video, so the cheaper adapters work just fine for me.
It's a good lens, a bit large and heavy buy not as bad as you might think. I always thought Canon FD lenses were crappy cause the couple of lenses I had tried were flimsy/poor condition but as I started researching lenses to fit my needs - in my case lenses to equate to 70-210mm f2.8 ect with a 2x crop factor and a 1.42x crop factor from a speedbooster - so I really wanted to give a couple FD lenses another try, and I'm sure glad I did. This lens and the much rarer 50-135mm f3.5 are amazing! There's a few more you may want to look at like the Tokina made 35-105mm f3.5, SMC Pentax A 35-105mm f3.5, Vivitar Series 1 35-85mm f2.8 and 28-85/28-90mm f2.8-3.8 /2.8-3.5.
Perfect video thanx
may i know the adapter name.. !

@@travisforbear255 Thank you..:)
Can it cover a full frame sensor?
yes
Yes. Many people do use it on full frame sensors. I've never done it for video, but it works fine for stills on my Canon 5D mk II. With the right adapter of course.
What kind of adapter is that for EF mount? Does it have a glass element?

Hello, very nice filming. Im interested toi buy One, but I have read in the comments that exists some copies of this lenses. Can you name to me, something?
Definitely buy it, i have it and it is worth every penny.
Good video
Why don't you create more videos like this? Your video is amazing. We expect more vintage lens review from you.
Fabulous video presenting this lens extremely well. I'm trying to decide .... should I? Shouldn't I? As I've just bought the Canon A-1 But of course it could also be adapted to my Canon 70D. And an aside. Your video also has the makings to Meditate with.
Thank you Dinah. It's a great lens for sure. I've had a few copies over the years and I'd say at this point it's staying in my collection. Thanks for the feedback on the video as well.
I WILL FOR SURE LET YOU KNOW
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO AGAIN I JUST ORDERED ONE ON EBAY CANT WAITE TO TEST IT OUT WHEN IT ARRIVES
I don't think you will be disappointed. Would love to hear what you think once you start using it.
i just ordered mines today cant wait to use it for video
thank you very much
read somewhere that this lens can't focus on subject not beyond 6inches but your video is not displaying that is this lens good for filming with people as jubjects and is it sharp
This lens has 2 modes, regular and macro mode. This video was mostly filmed in the regular mode. It's a pretty sharp lens for a non L series lens. f3.5 is a little soft, but f4 and beyond is great for video. It's an under rated lens in my humble opinion. For the price of a good copy and adapter, I'd say it's worth it. Very versitile lens.
necro reply - just tested one out its more like 12 inches
Great footage. You should try it on the Fd-Nex Zhongyi Lens turbo II focal reducer. Basically turns this combo into a FF fov and aperture like on a FF sensor camera. I see a huge quality difference with my setup and almost eliminating the crop.
Single Lens Reflex wouldn’t recommend for the FD lens. Mine became loose to camera mount & almost impossible to get off, plus it scored the sensor mount. The FD mount puts a good deal of pressure on the focal reducer due to the twisting motion of the breech lock. Be warned! I have Turbo II for CY mounts no problem, shame the coatings on Turbo II are decent
great example video...and great shots, could you please either update this or on the next video post settings of the camera and lens so I can tell when it is stopped down or shallow to compare the contrast?? thanks and again I really enjoyed this video , Normally I don't watch the whole video is these are not posted on screen but your video was very relaxing to watch!!
Thank you Michael. Most of the video was shot between f3.5 down to f5.6. Settings varied as the light changed. I appreciate the feed back. I really need to make more videos, just been so busy lately.
I subbed...just keep up the great work and maybe post some text on it...lol thanks for the reply
Nice video.. how do you work the macro switch on this lens? Just picked up the same lens
DONNIE LESSARD there is a dedicated switch on the lens. Zoom range is decreased, but it does well for an older lens. I'm sure you could get closer with macro rings.
Got it!!!! Well this is a fun lens with the macro and zoom options.
Thanks a lot for this IQ samples! Looks stellar and after watching this i'm definitely buying it.
Vladimir Velickovic it's a heavy lens, but worth it.
Alright, after 1 min. of footage, I decided I am now hunting all the Pentax super Takumar primes I can get in good condition. Mind. Freaking. Blown! :O
Jas Bataille Takumar lenses are great for video use or even photography. Lots of good vintage glass out there.
Wow. So dreamy. I'm considering adding this lens to my sony a6000. Thank you for sharing the video.
Hey, interesting video. Actually made me bought one adapter for my old lens, thank you! :) By the way, what's that songs' name?
Thanks, I love old lenses, just lacking the free time to play more right now. The music is "Floret", by Kai Engel. He's got a bunch of free music on Free Music Archive.
Thank you, I'll check it out.:)
WOW! I'm subscriber number 8! My lucky number :-) This video was very enjoyable and actually very useful too for me. Thanks!
Thank you.
what adaptor did you use? thank you
Juan Acosta, I used an fd to e mount. Fotodiox brand I believe.
Wonderful lens! A steal!
Ill be using this lense with panasonic g7, i wish i could get this type of results, its so creammy!
I'm pretty sure that I used F 1.4 through F4, and made sure to do a lot of close focusing of the subjects. I was mostly doing the footage to try out my new video slider. Thanks for the comment.
No comments here so I'm commenting to say that this deserves more positive comments
Dylan Patera thank you.
Thank you for the comment. And for enjoying my work.
Dylan Patera is it 8 element?
No, I do not believe it is based on the serial numbers. It's close in numbers, but I feel like the price I paid makes it a newer copy.
I love this score. where is it from?
It's from the Free Music Archive site. The artist is Kai Engel. His work is very impressive. Here's the link to the site and his other works. freemusicarchive.org/music/Kai_Engel/ Enjoy and thanks for watching and commenting.
Stark, raw, and stunning!
