@@GxAce Please love your content, but that robotic voice hurts to listen to maybe don't get totally rid of it, but just try to change it to something easier to listen to
@@GxAce without hating it is actually extremely distracting, cringe and annoying. Your content is extremely well made then if feels like a cheesy, out of place, overused bit. I normally agree trolls are annoying but I felt the need to help maybe get through to you
I can’t help but make another comment. Your videos are absolutely top shelf. Visuals, lighting, audio, voice, pace, transitions, editing, everything are spot on and seamless. My only “complaints” are they are way too short and way too long between releases! 😂 But quality beats quantity every time!
the photos sure looked great with these lenses :D if you wanted to take some portraits, get a 90s outfit for your model, get a roll of some color or b/w film that was in production back then (idk trix or sth) and any camera with that lens. youll be in heaven.
From personal experience, life in the 1990s was great. The Web was at its heyday, and there was a lot of excitement for this new thing called the Internet. Mobile phones were simpler, messaging was simpler, and the ability to call people from wherever, or send them a text that they would read and respond to right away felt a bit like magic. Photography-wise, it was awesome. Lots of cameras to choose from, at any price, and with some fantastic mid-level and high-end SLRs (though I never liked the increase in use of plastic for camera manufacturing). Film was ubiquitous and cheap - you could even buy it at a supermarket, at least where I lived - and you could easily find a photo lab that really developed & printed your rolls in one hour. The whole process, now that I consider it with hindsight, felt as fast and convenient as digital is today. Cheers! //Rick
Imagine meeting someone born in the 90's. What fascinating tales they could regale. Historians claim they were once ruled by a monarch known as the "Fresh Prince".
Gonna be honest here. I've been following you for a while and everytime I see the notification I go on my big monitor, close the curtains, put my headphones on, relax and watch the videos and it's a f***ing blast! I might be wrong by doing this comparison but it's like I'm enjoying a Blade Runner and let me tell you. This movie is my favorite of all time since I watched it few years after the release. I would really love to see an episode in which you talk about your journey, what did you do (I think you're a machinist), how you came to photography and filmmaking, how you got better, what inspires you (I have a small idea), it would inspire a lot of us.
Thanks for introducing us to this stuff. Love that you’ve been putting out more content recently. Always enjoyable. Although,no pressure. Just release whenever you want.
Like every time a truly awesome ans inspiring video. I really enjoy to see content this often and watch it on my big screen. Often the videos inspire me to go out and shoot! THX!!! Maybe I should get one of those and one of the original Sony a 7S´s.
I love your content. I love your aesthetics. I love that retro-cyberpunk style visuals and voice you make. Please keep making videos like these. You've inspired me as an amateur photographer to finally persue making more videos with aesthetics that I actually like (much like yours). 💙
Just wondering: when adding shims to reach infinity focus, how do you know when it is achieved? Is this a matter of trial and error and seeing if the image on the camera is at infinity focus, or is the visible without having to screw the lens housing together?
I think I never commented so often on a channel like on yours 😂 . But again. Your videos should be the absolute new standard for creators on UA-cam, who take it seriously. The vibe, Editing, lighting. This is absolutely incredible man. Please keep it up!

@@GxAce oh absolutely. I just meant that like when you take a picture, it tells a story. Was just wondering if there was rhyme or reason to how the voiceover was broken up. Keep making these 😁
I use a Contax G Biogon 28 on my Fuji XT cameras a the time. I need a conversion so I can use these Contax G lenses on my GFX. They have adapters for Fuji X with focusing, but not for GFX. Maybe I could DIY something (the price for these conversions seems a bit high for me, especially for the Biogon, if that conversion even exists)
Is minimum focus of 0.5m lost by converting the lens? I know the patch in Leica won't follow below 0.7m, but still useful feature to use with Live view. Thanks!
Those may be good Lenses, but today it is easier to produce high quality Lenses due to computer software, I just got the excellent Zeiss Loxia 21mm 2.8 which I can recommend.
Absolutely love the ultrawide content! It looks stunning on my ultrawide monitor and its hard to find this level of quality camera work outside of feature films!
I would just love your opinion on the A7IV vs XH2S for video and photo! So torn! I don't really care about 4K 120 and I am totally fine with a crop in 4K60. Are Fuji colours THAT much better?
Do they make these available to attach to any other rangefinders? Or just Leica? I’ve seen the digital adapters, but looking for a cheaper alt as leica are some expensive boys!
Bro, browsed your site! do a video on light sabers please! I've got a custom graflex that I built with a custom crystal core as well! P.s. keep on keeping on you, your videos rock
is the 45mm contax a lens that you could use on the m6 without an external viewfinder? possibly using the 50mm framelines? or is it unable to read it or something?
Your content is on another level, dig cyberpunk and cameras. I hope to see you expand your content to other things as well just because this is all so good and I’d love to see more.
these videos are just soooo good, you just wait you will reach 1mill one year, top keep up the aesthetic, I love it even though I don't know single shit about camera
Everytime I see your newest video you've shot up 10k views and my man it is so deserved! I found you because of your fuji 35mm video and right after went on eBay and got one. You no joke saved me from getting rid of my Fuji Xt3 and just going full modern with my A7r4. I had never had a fuji lens before that and was rocking an ef adapter on the xt3 and it just didn't feel fun if that makes sense?? But after I got as you called it "the only fuju lens you really need" WOW did everything change. I don't know why but it's like the title "there's something just special about this lens". Love all that you do, excited to see more!! My wallet is not though because you make me spend a lot of money🤣
I love your contents @Gxace :) how i wish i can have those lovely presets of urs :) im from the Philippines by the way :) keep it up :) keep inspiring :)
Im confused, I went over to their site using the link in your description and the conversion kit is $1099 did I miss the sale? btw love your videos, most unique camera related youtuber!
I bought this lens and a G1 by accident, as I travelled to by a Nikon F3 but missed it, they had this. Absolutely Love it, got my Nikon F3 HP somewhere else another day but this lens is fantastic. Need a M BODY and this conversion now 🤯🥳
That train picture what fucking phenomenal. I said, "What a great fckin picture." OUT LOUD in a room by myself. My first thought was that the lines were satisfying, but the subject was really out of focus. My eyes moved right to follow the lines to their point of conversion, and oh, there you are, the actual subject of the photo. A bright face, glued to the wonders of the world beyond the window. Almost if the glass is the only thing holding her back from falling right out of the train. I had to read that picture from left to right and I fucking loved it.
Please tell me where you learnt how to do sounddesign, because I AM IN LOVE. But all aspects of this video are perfect, the colors, the editing, the content, it's beautiful. Please never stop blessing us viewers with your content.
Contax G lenses in their original casings are pretty much what I've wanted my lenses to be like as a sony FE user. Small, bright-ish, sharp and light lenses made from titanium, what's there not to like about them? However I'm not really sold on the idea of those conversion kits. I'd lose the minimalistic aesthetic of the contax G casings and with the cost of the kit I think I'd rather go for a dummy leica adapter and a techart af leica adapter. And there are modern native alternatives from cosina and zeiss which many would consider to be better than the contax lenses in most aspects. That being said, we all have our preferences. And amazing video as usual.
Man your content is top notch. Glad i found your channel. You ever tried the otus line?

The otus has a sence of 3D effect i've never seen before. They are the most modern and clean optics with a ton of character hard to explain the rendering if you never put one on the front of your sensor. You move 1mm on the focus ring and the whole background changes.
I see major resemblance of the xpro model, Or rather the other way around. I would totally Love one of these cameras! Thank you for your amazing videos as always

It's a trial and error situation. Pretty easy to figure out but does require you to take it apart a couple times to dial it in the first time.
Every time you drop a video, my day/night is made. Are you still shooting in S-Log or switched over to Raw Video?

Another incredible video.
how does this lens compare to the touit 32mm 1.8?
Very similar! Check out my video on the Touit! I compare them briefly.
I’m looking to adapt a contaxt G 90mm f2.8 on my Fuji xt4 with the G-X Urtha adapter. Wanna experiment with the film recipes and also video.
Is minimum focus of 0.5m lost by converting the lens?
I know the patch in Leica won't follow below 0.7m, but still useful feature to use with Live view.

I wish they made such kit for G 90mm Sonnar. That paired with G45mm would be a great two lens kit.
Have you ever tried the Pentax SMC 43mm f/1.9 Limited? I think you would really enjoy it.
New microphone? Sounds beefy if my ear isn't misleading me
This guy is the MelodySheep of Camera Gear reviewing... I actually had to look up to see if they were the same guy
is the 45mm contax a lens that you could use on the m6 without an external viewfinder? possibly using the 50mm framelines? or is it unable to read it or something?
I ordered the conversion kit. The front ring of my G45 won't move. Any idea what I could do?

I would love to see the Contax G 90mm to M mount. I use this lens the most on my Nikon Z6 with a terrible lens adapter.
The 90mm G is slept on, the autofocus was not good enough on the bodies to make good use of it, they should convert it, it's a sleeper
Damnn first time seeing ur video blows my mind away. It's just so incredible
love your work, i've geeked out to like three diff friends about it
Awesome, thank you! That's super cool!
is the Zeiss ZM much different? people are asking 350$ for the kit.
I just bought one of these, do you have a preferred adapter for sony that you use? I bought/tried the metabones and it was an absolute failure.
Nice video, but for that price I'd rather stay with my summicron.
Commenting for the algo.
Gotta keep these magical videos coming.
Breathtaking video as always! im just so inspired to make content after watching your videos! 🙌

Hi good kit … but it s the price of a little voigtlander with Leica M mount….
This is cinema-grade quality, keep it up!
I've always wanted one of these but I haven't the Leica M camera or the money for the lens either.
Quit making me want things.
Do you have any tutorials on how to rehouse lenses or how to work on them in general?

Ummm why not just use an adaptor? I have one for my xpro ..
Bruh you gotta make a short film or something to submit to a festival
*immediately buys the lens off of KEH*
just got the 35mm apo lanthar so it's a no thanks....at least for now
Good God these videos...films...videofilms are so satisfying. I'll never have these lenses but it doesn't even matter.
