    I have been to Iceland Twice and I would love to go again but this time with 20 cool photographers with me
    We will do a lot of crazy photo experiments, learn new stuff and create some amazing pictures.
    So that's why I need you to fill out this survey: tinyurl.com/52pweb6k
    It will give more information to the trip organizers on what is your budget, where you want to go exactly, and what kind of things you would like to do during this trip.
    once We get 100 people interested they will launch the trip organization for real.
    This could be an amazing experience!

    I love these lenses. I have a few of them in 25, 35 and 50mm. They're fantastic and cheap! Work great on my Pana g7, g9 AND My Sony A7R2 IN APSC mode. Filmed a movie fight scene at night with one of these lenses. Results were insane. Added an intensity to the scene with the bokeh. Cookelike in some respects, but distinct in it's own right.

    I have a Fujian 35mm f/1.7 that I love. I ordered a second one, and it had a slightly different pattern on the focus and aperture rings, a very different aperture blade design, and the image quality is completely different. You never know what you're going to get!

    I've been looking at super cheap C mount lenses a lot, recently. I don't have a mirrorless to make use of them, but they are so tempting to get into, for the super low costs. My M42 lenses have been a dream for my DSLR, though. and the Helios 44 series lenses are equally low cost swirlers.

    I have a bunch of these and some Sony cameras. The have focus and zoom and shutter control. The aperture shape is weird, like two balls coming together, then overlapping. For some reason the security lenses are great for shooting fire, the colors and minimal depth of field work well.

    Hello Mathieu!
    (I'll post this again, since the first time it might have gotten culled due to ebay links...)
    This is how I adapted a 25mm f1.4 c-mount lens on my Nikon DSLRs!
    *You need a reverse mounted relay lens on your camera. 28mm for APSc, 24mm or 20mm for FF.
    *To that, you attach a couple of the cheapest metal extension tubes from those sets from China. I can't exactly remember the total length, I think the medium and the long one together. One set is enough, for that I am certain.
    *To this you add an adapter meant to mount F-mount lenses on C-mount cameras (available on ebay). But since everything is reversed, you end up with a REMOVABLE MALE c-mount thread.
    *Remove the above threaded part and replace it with the female thread ring part from a c-mount extension ring (available on ebay). You get this by chopping off the male thread of the extension ring and filing a groove around it, so it can be safely mounted on the above adapter.
    *That's it! You now can mount your c-mount lens!
    The image is reversed both horizontally and vertically but covers all of the sensor!
    How's that for experimental photography?!

    J'ai cet objectif et franchement pour faire des photos c'est un peu compliqué car le focus est pas simple à faire mais quand c'est réussi c'est vraiment clean . En vidéo par contre je l'utilise pour de la fiction et c'est vraiment sympa . Je tiens quand même à signaler qu'il y a une autre gamme d'objectif de ce style trouvable sur des sites similaire qui sont meilleurs niveau netteté mais qui ont des ouvertures plus basses comme F1.8 mais il est tout aussi bien voir mieux pour de la photo

    bonjour de l'allemagne, M. Stern. i did a long outdoor portrait-shoot today and in preparation and for inspiration i revisited some of your videos where you can be seen working with your models. once again, thank you. that helped me a lot today. one of the lenses i used was my battered but beloved nikkor 105 1.8 manual focus. i have looked again, but i think you never tried this lens out. this lens has become forgotten, but i love the way it works on portraits wide open and i am curious what you would think of it. perhaps you can even try out mine when i come to paris next time.

    Using the C-mount adapter on R6 or 7D can't find the flange distance.
    The only way I've managed to get focus is with my cellphone, positioning at 15 cms from the camera I get a tiny focused circle.

      Works best on micro 4/3 and some Apsc. Coverage is larger than 16mm. 3 Lenses available. 25, 35 and 50mm. The 25mm has the smallest imag circle and fits micro 4/3 but will be too small for apsc. The two other should be ok.
