As I mentioned in another very recent post on another of yours, my Minolta 55mm only focusses to around 16 or so feet when on an adapter for Fuji X. Something going on I don't know? You don't have this problem.

Informative and pleasant to watch. I can't tell if you're using a short rail, or doing it hand held, or have a couple friends with a rod...

Nice room to hang out in..

I'm.on a roll tonight..one more before I pass out..

Second of your goods watching tonight. fist was the Meyer Gorlitz 1.9. That was classy. I think this was a bit too short. Back troubles have kept me around home in the Mission district of San Francisco, and just talking pics with my various Minolta vintage lenses of the unusual objects I have in late afternoon light coming through wood venetian blinds. Fuji X body, Fotasy adapters on all my lenses so i don't have to switch around. Have some goodies from Ukraine, and you can guess what they are...lots of blades. But a Minolta on an adapter seems to only focus as far as..well, let's say, 14-17 feet. And I only just noticed that. Find for indoors, but very limited for outdoors. And as the Minolta Rokkor numbers go up, from 50 to 58, even less distance. I don't have your longer lens. But I do have those longer Ukraine lenses...Looking forward to more of your uploads tomorrow night..and viewing them on a 27" 5K retina Imac...that I traded one pair of shoes for. Not kidding.

First class upload. I really like your "rail" shots in video with the subtle moves. You picked a smooth background score, and just let things happen. Looks like you're ready to make your own Kar-Wai Wong style film...

I'm aware there are actually two versions of the early 8 element lens. The early version produce softer image but the later version has thorium and is sharp just like the 7 element lens.

Some comparison shots seem to have missed the focus? The bokeh comparison is great!

this is absolutely my dream lens, but i cant seem to find one

tyvm for the video. imo, the J3 is the 'better' lens concerning bokeh, but i prefer the J8 for a little bit more bite in its out of focus rendering.

I like your work, so I comment 😊, thanks for the video mate !

A great update and yet another great video! There are a few thousand early prototype Helios 44 models with an aperture value of f/2 to f/22, up 6 stops from the f/16 of ALL other Helios 44 and 44-2 lenses. They are relatively rare and may contain non-Soviet glass left over from World War II reparations taken from the Zeiss factory in Jena, Germany during Operation: Osoaviakhim. I'd be happy to send you one for review in your next update video if you promise to ship it back!

Can I do this in Helios 44-7?

Great videos, thanks! My understanding of the red numbers were that these would indicate the best settings for hyperfocal filming.

I'll keep my silver 13 blade version, tyvm. and tyvm for the video.

Why do people put irritating music in the background?? 😮

Excelente video 😊!

You do a lot of night photography. I really like it. It's something I need to do more of myself. Do you use a tripod?

Hi.. the rehoused version has new coatings ? And where you did the rehousing?

TYVM for the video. I have collected the Mir-1, Helios 40 and 44 all in silver. I also found the Jupiter-9 in gloss black. I have a few others, but I think this is my 'set'.

Thanks for dispelling the Cold War bullshit at the front about Russian glass.

👌🏼📷👌🏼

Is that Compur a lens for 16mm cameras?

Classy review. I wanted more.. This lens on apsc becomes an 87mm 1.4. Try buying an 87mm 1.4 for less than 700 dollars. The prices on these Minoltas are now creeping up. Which makes the 1.7 versions of the 50, 55, and 58 lenses the best deal on ebay.

I own and use eight Takumar lenses. The 105mm f/2.8 is my second favorite. The 8-element 50mm f/1.4 is my first favorite.

I bought a Tomioka Auto Tominon 55 1.2 new when it first came out and seldom used it. I still have it and was pleasantly surprised as to all the attention it is getting. I use it now on My D750 by holding it against the lens flange. It is a wonderful lens that gives me awesome photos. Thank you for your informative video. I also have a Mamiya Deluxe with the 48mm lens, that you say is also a Tomioka. The photos I take with it are very beautiful as well. It is the smoothest rangefinder I have in my collection.

Thank you for posting. I always learn something from your videos. 👍

Some great ethereal images, not sure if that's down to the lens or the photographer! (maybe both? :))

Wat camera you se with yupiter12?!

very nice. how many and which soviet lenses do you want to make a set complete to your satisfaction?

Thank you for the video ❤

Just get a cheap filter and put a coat of vaseline on it.

back element lens is flat (Tomioka)?!

Thank you for the informative videos. Love the videos on the Takumars!

Please mute this music 😢

tyvm for the video. I have the 20mm zebra flektogon. as pretty as it is, the mir20 looks really cool. I look forward to your review.

Thus lens looks more impressive than it performs, also I was expecting more distortion. Interesting but not a must have I guess. I'll be waiting for the comparison 😁

You are quickly becoming my favorite channel for vintage lenses. Keep up these amazing videos as they will catch on. Add bell notifications!

❤

Beautiful once again. Like you, I think I would prefer just a little more contrast and sharpness than the super 24 offers. I want a 'cinematic' look rather than one that looks like a 1980s home video 😁. So I will probably go for the SMC 24 as you have for the same reasons. It seems to hit the sweet spot in your examples. Many thanks.

I have been loving watching your videos, they are really well researched and informative.

Oh, do you live in Macau?

tyvm for the video. if you could keep only one of the 85mm lenses (minolta vs takumar) which would it be and why?

Love the look of the Minolta 85 f1.7. Very good comparison video with the Tak lens. Thanks for sharing your beautiful city.

When you gave the dimensions of the lens, you made a mistake, using cm instead of mm.

How do I know if mine is an early copy?

Oh that is so beautiful! That might just be your skill of course, but your footage makes me want to rush out and buy a copy of this lens for video work. What a stunner! Thank-you so much.

cy21是好头，不然蔡司不会用到milvus时代才换设计

Thank you for your great video. I really love to own this legendary lens but i have a bit concern whether this radioactive lens will impact the mirrorless camera sensor over the period of time? Does this matter need to be worried? 👍

Recently I was able to find Mir-10a (28mm f3.5) for a good price, cant wait to test it.
