They Don't Make Lenses Like This Anymore!

- Let us go get one of the best lenses ever made? Usually when you think of the best lenses, it's Zeiss, Leica, Voigtlander etc. The latest Canon RF glass doesn't really have that character, 3D pop, microcontrast etc. Nikon Z glass? Not really, although the 40mm f2 has some pop. Let's go get a lens I've been trying to get for years!

You're such a nerd the coolest part of this video is watching you travel on your scooter in psychedelic mode lol
Stay safe with your electric scooter.
Also what the hell? Why am I convinced that the 3D pop exists? It’s clearly not the bokeh. Why is it not quantifiable? What is it? Is it the lens distortion that’s only found in vintage glass or what?
1000th LIKE! 3:28 -- that is the guy from Sesame Street that says "Psst! Hey buddy! Do you want to buy an 'R'?"
Seeing Sting doing blue collar work warmed my heart. This was the most exciting vlog of buying a lens.
so... I watched and waited... for FRAUD!!! I despise you.
That journey of yours to acquire your “precious” is longer than Frodo going to Mordor to toss that ring in the fire! 😂
This guy brings 5 cameras, 3 phones and an electric scooter, but still has no navigation.
😆My thoughts too! The man has his quirks, but that's also a big part of the appeal
I guess flat-earthers don't trust those GPS things.
Google Maps. If it works for a European in Japan, it should work in your own country.
This was the 1st comment I saw as soon as i clicked the video, but after watching... I gotta say that's a relatively fair assessment, yet somehow, we still stayed til the end 🤣🤣
@@ak4good I totally agree with his frustration about no street signs. I have also noticed that there fewer street address numbers on buildings these days.
Sting - that made me laugh out loud. My wife looked over and said are you watching that Camera guy again??? 🙂
..annoying wife, annoying life.
I do watch him again 😂
The conspiracy camera guy
This is one of your best episodes mate. That mention about “Feel better because Batman is looking after this neighborhood” is a line to frame! I am still laughing hard! Well done!!
An adventure of a lifetime and the lens to match! Congrats on your new acquisition until you get home and sell it! Thanks for taking us on your journey!
Road trips are the best!! That bike trail could be a video game. Kind of like GTA but you try to take out kids on bikes. Your excitement when unveiling this lens was epic!! Cool journey, nice purchase!! That old glass is really nice. I have two Canon FD lenses I really like. One is the 28mm T2.8, the other is 135mm T3.5. I got the 28mm for $30 US and the 135mm for $35. US and both are in like new condition. Thanks for taking us along, have a rockin day!
The Toneh is strong in this one.
best comment!
Bravo!
Best comment!
Should become *the* standard.
The Toneh be with you.
The chromatic aberration is just crazy on that bad boy.
Acid scooter trip plus safety Sting making sure nobody is crushed by the train. Good job.
What an incredible journey for a lens!
That's dedication.😊
Sounds very crunchy
Distagon 35mm f2 is my favorite lens. I got the canon version . That glass is perfect . Second fav is the Zeiss makroplanar 100mm f2 . Both flawless 🤓
I would never have thought this would happen. "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the Toneh"
Loved the trippy video. I also loved the lens, great buy. Thanks for the fun video.👍
You've deservedly got this many subscribers - people love you!
That was a fun trip, and what a great lens! Might I say, you could take the lens apart and clean it. I had zero experience with that and never thought I'd do it myself.... until I ran into similar situation. Got a Super Takumar with a VERY sticky focus ring... turning the focus ring actually took the lens off the m42 mount!!! So, watched a few YT videos on how to take the lens apart, cleaned it, successfully put it back together .... and... it works now!!! Still a little needy (as something inside was actually deformed, maybe the lens was badly dropped...), but works well since without coming off. I'd say the 35L is likely a LOT more complicated, but as you need not take the internals apart, it is an easy fix doable at home. Even if it's your first project doing that. (Although I'd recommend practicing on a cheap lens for first try.)
I have the Sigma ART 35mm and it's my favorite lens of all time. (Yup, that's my favorite focal length, cheers ;). I've been wondering about the Canon L first version, that would have been my other choice, but finally decided on the Sigma. Overall, the Sigma is super sharp and has a totally Leica-feel rendering to it, making it my favorite photo lens. It focuses insanely fast, and turned my 5D classic into a low light beast. (Haha, but kind of true! Total life changer on the 5D both in terms of sharpness, dramatically lower ISO noise floor, focus accuracy and speed.) But I'd love to have the dreamy quality of the 35L, that would be perfect for videos ; ). One day.... sigh
This is in the top three favorite lenses I've ever used. You have made an excellent choice!!
Cracking me up and educating at same time - two thumbs up 🙂
Kasey, I bought a sigma (i know my bad) 17-50 f2.8 ef-s lens with a focus motor that squealed like a greased pig getting some loving from a southener, I stripped it down myself after watching some dodgy YT vids and greased the parts myself, reassembly - IT WORKED - BUT it obviously had one final squeal left before it went silent and functions quickly and quietly to this day.
28 days later and Kasey is still lost in the Batman park. 🥴
Glad to see you finally got it! the difference between RF and EF is extreme
Nice to see you out on a trip again!
I recently picked up the 35 1.4 L for my (cough cough) photography needs. Lovely lens. I paid a bit more, but the manual focus doesn’t make grinding noises.
Congrats on the new to you glass! The journey was fun to watch.
I love the Tony Toneh effect on the background when you bob and weave in the shot.
Fantastic and entertaining journey! Not sure I'm on board with this 3D pop obsession -- to me the pocket 3 image quality was more pleasant than the crazy contrast and optical aberrations, I mean character, of this giant old, I mean vintage, glass. But it makes for fun content, so well done!
Still love your quirky sense humor. I like cameras and gear and all… but stay for the smiles.
Thx for taking us along on your journey
New 35 mm - green and purple fringing on your cap is strong, it visibly changes colour. Image has green tint overall and colours seem washed out. 3D pop not noticed here. Otherwise nice loud focusing lens.
This color change is a side effect after orange sky and blue grass, loud sound comes from a cord near mic.
This video is a masterpiece I’m really enjoying riding along on this adventure and laughing at your always hilarious dialogue.
this trippy footage and the song, I really hope you start making more narrative stories, you got the gift of saying nothing and saying everything at the same time
the glorious "Anon" -- of course --great stuff !
And you will happy with it ! I mean at least for the next year, or maybe at least one month .... or rather for sure one week ...😆
I see purple fringing on the hat. I don't know if the R-EF adaptor amplifies this, or it is just like that with some canon L lenses. I have the same issue with my Ef-50 1.2 on the RP.
It's part of what gives a lens 3D pop. Modern lenses "correct" this and lose their character. That mesh hat is an extreme example in the harsh sun.
@@cameraconspiracies You have a point there. Will be following your R8+ef 35 1.4 combo with great interest 🙂 btw, it would nice to see a comparison with the EF1.4 and RF 1.8 35mm.
I just got the Zeiss Batis 85 f1.8. I really love that thing.
That lens !!! 🫶🏻❤….
It was my first L series lens , it was my first 35mm … and it’s the only lens that I’ve kept and has survived my poor buying and selling decisions…many come and go , but that lens was meant to stay ! It’s a keeper ! … 😊
Nice to hear all the great stories, What lens adapter do you use? We see it works well with auto-focus.
what type of scooter is that I'm convinced you should have also made a scooter review cuz it really did the job
Casey : 13:08 "perfect autofocus ... "
Canon : " let me introduce you to our AF algorithm character. It has 3D 'sudden' POP "
Kasey, I discovered last summer that you can bring a bike on the Go Train that goes straight to Niagara Falls from Union Station (or anywhere along the way) so took my mountain bike. There are a few cars at the end specifically for bicycles. Great to visit the Falls, and visit friends who live on the Niagara Parkway, or Niagara-on-the Lake, etc. In other news... I live in Missusuburbia myself (Streetsville), and it is drab and boring- ugh! Moved from Toronto several years ago- long story. I won't even use any cameras here, unless I stroll along the Credit River in Streetsville, which is actually pretty nice- a strip of nature, hidden amongst the featureless, flat, mall-ridden nothingness.
Agreed. People who visit tell us “the village looks so cute-what a great place to live.” I always tell them the village doesn’t have much except men’s barbershops and salons. Restaurants are hit and miss. The two coffee shops we had are long gone. The Culham Trail makes it suck a bit less.
Love the purple green color changing hat.
You should add the canon EF 50mm 1.2 to the list. If you find a good deal on it. Unimpressive corner sharpness wide open but it just adds more 3-d pop.
Purple lawns and volcano sky!!! Missasagua, you’ll be the death of me!
Trippy as ride to location, make me wish I was young again 👍👍
This went great with my morning coffee... awesome!
Nice video man ! I'm happy to get out of the room and the high tech video gear works great outside too!
love the colours when you're moving : D
Love the red sky over the blue ground. Grade/colour tut? maybe?
That was an excellent adventure, but did your scoot run out of juice or not?! You cant leave people waiting for series 2 like that!
I learned nothing and I love it.
Loved that magical trippy scooter ride
I like the random coloring.
Thank you for riding down Maitland past my old place.
Love the backing tracks, mate.
I'm down to only owning one EF lens and I'll never get rid of it. The 35 year old 200 2.8 prime. Such a great lens.
I got a deal on a 135 f2 I wonder if that has any of the good old days 3D pop ?
Links for the afflicted should include the scooter! Seems to have a ballast-release feature to increase range by shedding non-critical mass.
The new lens laugh gets me every single time
Absolutely phenomenal video here. Well done.
Great video! The Canon EF L f/1.4 version 1 is amazing! I thought you already had that!
surprisingly i have enjoyed this roadtrip video more than expected :)
That lens does have really nice toneh! 👍
The only thing better than autofocus is a friend with a car.
Been thinking of getting this lens to replace the RF plastic fringemaster. But he’s a bit of a chunky boy.
Damn, I was hoping for the EF 135mm f2. Now that is a lens!
One of the best Hiboy Max Pro review(?) videos I've seen...
That was Rod Stewart not sting 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I had battery anxiety just watching let alone being actually on the scooter 😬😬😬😬. enjoyed you trip outdoors 🥳🥳🥳
I was expecting this to end with Kier.Dullea lying in bed pointing at a monolith.
I can hear the sound of ocean sand when it magestically floats from one focus plane to the next.
Like putting your ear up to a seashell
i love it when you pounce hard at a lens! We all should!
I love my zeiss batis 135mm 2.8. I bought it used for 630 bugs and knew almost nothing about it. It´s a keeper.
hahaha, the route reminded me of Milton Keynes. So many forks, not a very logically laid out walking / biking system.
This was a relaxing watch.
that 24mm 1.4 and 35mm 1.4 make great combination!
i just want a 24mm F0.95 with auto focus
Widest Canon did was the EF 50mm F1.0 L. And the bokeh balls are garbage, IMO. But if you don't have balls in the back it's an amazing lens. 2-3k used though.
Hey blessed Kasey, love your work and your monkey 🙈 energy 🙌
I just wanted to share as a fellow canon RF user that as well as a bunch of newer RF glass (that I know you’re avoiding for now) I also use older EF lenses for their size, speed and price as my ‘walkaround’ kit and wanted to entice you to check out the canon EF 28mm f1.8 if you haven’t already, it’s got a great look and very decent sharpness wide open, close focussing and very decent build quality to boot.
That said the 35 1.4L you’ve just scored is very nice too and prolly better corrected with less CÁ than the 28, but bigger by comparison and of course we have to tally in the EF/RF adapter too!
Anyway, enjoy your new toy but check out the 28 once your 35 lust has been sated.
I love your golden fleece adventures.
scooters on public transport here isn't allowed, telling us the batteries will blow up and cause a nuclear apocolypse
Thanks!!! Your comment made me LOL.
In the states?
Same here in Canada (I live in the same boring suburb which Kasey visited in this video), though scooters, eBikes, etc. are allowed, if they are a well-known brand and have some sort of certification. Of course, here in Canada, I can't find out what bloody certification they're talking about.
Same now in Madrid, Spain. Because only 1 burned one day... or so they say :P
wish i could get this zeiss 100mm F2 lens I have to you for testing, only has 6 elements , it pops real nice
Oh nice. I didn't know you guys had trains over there. I thought you just drove trucks everywhere. That train looks a lot like the Parisian RER style train. I like trains. I may have autism.
It pops! Good buy
"Wow, what's Sting doing here?"
Sting: "Wow, what are aliens doing here?"
Hey Kasey that scooter has some impressive battery power just wondering what type of scooter is it and how many miles/kilometres is a charge rated for on average.. Cheers..
ua-cam.com/video/yYXTCqLJhV0/v-deo.html
Great video, can’t believe how long that battery lasts!!!
Great trip I love it!
A trek all the way to the ass end of suburbia AND a 10km scooter ride just for Toneh? I understand. I've done it.
Not only toneh, but 3d popeh... That's the stuff that make Kasey trip accross cities.
Looking good so far! i thinked to buy this lens too!
That papoose with your pocket 3 looks like you’re carrying a baby!! 😂
Need more time laps like this
yay, a trip vlog!
does the GPS network not stretch to Canada?
love the beats.
My guess yesterday was correct. It is an adapted lens with focus issues. It does focus better outside in the light, though.
It just looked soft because of 1080p... It never looked in focus.
You went to Mississauga? Daaaaamn.
Hope you made it home without incident. I have an idea for a review. All the GPS Nav apps that work on mobile phones in Canada. Which is best? Which results is the least battery consumption?
I've purchased three Canon 50 1.4 because i loved that pos so much. Unique look for a 50. The AF sucked and the focus brackets break constantly. Never again even though i miss it. I still have like 1 and a half in parts hiding in a drawer.
Wow - that pop!!
"Whats that snappy cricky sound in background?" :D
The crackling autofocus 😂😂
@@coin777 I didn't know that was possible 😅😅
thats annoying af... can't even edit that sound out unless focus is locked.
Its possible that it's the AF. But he is on a wireless lav mic, I think. So might be something else.
@@TechLeatherCraft I think he has the mic transmitter plugged into the camera. It'd be easy to just record to something else while using this lens, then sync in post
I bought the canon 135l for my Fuji xt4 upon the angry photographers recommendation and it was amazing for its colours and pop
That beanie can't decide if it's magenta or teal 😄
I thought that was a great trail system. Nothing like that where I live.
