The "craziest lenses" will always likely be telescopes. For instance, Celestron has an 8" RASA telescope at f/2, which is the equivalent of 400mm. The cost is $2K, which seems low for a camera lens of 400mm, f/2. Of course, they're intended for deep space, and not terrestrial applications.
Brilliant use of stock footage at 1.56 seconds! (this is exactly how I hoped it would be used ) always fun to watch some of my clips in other productions.
A bit more specific, f/0.5 is the maximum theoretical aperture of an _aplanatic_ (only corrected for spherical aberration and coma) distortion-free lens on-axis in air, assuming no transmission losses. If you allow for distortion, and spherical and coma aberrations, one can go a bit faster still. (Source: Applied Photographic Optics, Sidney F. Ray, Third Edition, Focal Press, 2002)
There's also a number of Canon EF 1200 mm f/5.6 L that are out. The lens was not only massive 36 pounder, but had a small price tag of $89,999 MSRP. This was debauted back in 1984 during one the LA Olympic. Canon recently made a slower rf lens but for 20k, Canon RF 1200mm f/8 L IS USM.
The fastest production lens I ever personally held, was on a Canon point-n-shoot in the late 1970s. It was either 0.95 or 0.96. Every image was "soft", and by "soft" I mean out of focus. It made the best photographer look like a rank amateur. I think the store had to almost give it away.
@@CongThanhContent So long ago, I can't be sure. I don't remember that the lens was removable, but it might have been. It looked like this from ebay (google it) "[ Almost MINT ] Canon 50mm f/0.95 Dream Lens on 7 Camera Body From JAPAN #936"

The Nikon 13mm f/5.6, "The Holy Grail', the widest non distorting professional ultrawide lens ever made. The Zoom-Nikkor 1200-1700mm f/5.6-8P IF-ED the longest zoom ever made for the 35mm full frame format.

Love this video idea. Love this series. Photography UA-cam is too often caught up with gear for pros in mind. But photography is also a hobby and learning about cool photographic stuff that has nothing to do with purchasing decisions is really refreshing.
Talking about fast lenses you forgot about Voigtlaender 29mm f0.8, which is not just a fastest production lens ever, but also its sharp wide open and almost covers APS-C
Not sure of the full back story but in the late 60's and early 70's, Vivitar (Ponder and Best) made a 135mm f/1.5 lens. It had a T-mount configuration so you could use it with just about any brand of 35mm camera. Weighed in at just under 2170g (4.7lbs) with tripod collar and metal lens hood! Camera-Wiki has a posting about it under "Vivitar Professional 135mm f/1.5."
A crazy old Nikkor lens way back in the day was a fish-eye lens capable of not a 180 degree field of view ... but a 220 degree field of view. Hmm, just imagine a lens which can see behind you a little bit while you aim the camera directly straight ahead of yourself -
Hundreds of years ago when I ran Freezeframe Studios in Gloucester we borrowed the Nikon lens to shoot some architecture in Gloucester Cathedral - stunning
Two good lenses that have no equivalents in terms of range and quality : for photo use, covers full frame : Canon EF 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 L lens (I have one copy, if you need samples I can give you some) for cinema use, covers S35 sensors (cinema's APS-C) : Angénieux Optimo 12x 24-290mm T2.8
The Canon 5200mm lens was like lowkey designed for the military. Could be mounted on ships, spy planes and coastal observation stations. After all Japan was also affected by the cold war and had the threat of soviet territory next door, despite their "neutral" stance.
Just a side note, Ed Di Guilio only oversaw the development of the Steadicam, Garret Brown invented the Steadicam. Brown licenses the Steadicam to Cinema Product Corporation, Guilio was head of the company.
When you leave basic photography there are lots of gnarly lenses. The ones used on police helicopters, imax projectors, lyre concert lights... I have a sun optics 24-40 macro, very unusual design and wide macro shots look really cool. That's quite uncomon ig
You can buy the Voigtländer Super Nokton 29mm f/0.8 today. It's the fastest production lens. And it's less than 1800$. I am currently considering buying a Zeiss Mirotar that costs nearly 6k. But it's 1/205 and supposedly optically perfect and apochromatic. I already own a 150mm f/1.0 lens. Which is massive and kinda expensive. It's not even made out of glass. If you want truly weird lenses: look at telecentric lenses. Which have effectively infinite focal length and gives you an orthographic image with no perspective. There is also a Applied Science video on Hyperventric optics. A lens that lets you look "around" objects. and finally you can make a multi hole pinhole lens. To get a wide angle stich.
Hey man! Awesome comment! Definitely interesting stuff! If I end up pursue those for a future video is there anyway I could get some photos/video of those?!
@@CongThanhContent there is a website called allphotolenses that has a really great dataset of lenses ans variations. they usually like sample photos, reviews and videos.

Re the huge Cannon lens, I saw a photo of a lens developed for the U.S. army that was fitted to a Jeep. It looked like a large caliber howitzer. I saw the photo while I was stationed at the army signal school, Fort Monmouth, NJ. This was in the 70's. The exhibit included photos taken of the New York skyline taken from Fort Hancock across the bay. The film format was probably something like 6 or 8 inches. I wish I had the opportunity to see the actual lens.

09:26 The funny part: just 10-15 years ago it costed literally 1$-10$ for used one, nobody wanted to use such a soft and heavy lens on DSLR. Rubbish. Lots of them - just got dumped, due to this. I got mine during 2015-2016, It suffers from many things like front light, too overtight focusing ring, fungus, very fluctuated image quality, very bad at night on fast aperture, too soft. Even at F4 - it stills to be considered as "soft quality". This is just a dust cover while having nothing but stock DSLR kit lens, better, but can't be used on a commercial basis. At the same time, the Canon EF50 F1.8 - was a great option to have for around same 10-50$ (lol) for good used one. The cost for helios was like 50-500 rubles (1.5$-15$), now it is kinda 500-2000 rubles (5.5$-22$) The cost for canon was like 500-1500 rubles (15-100$), now it's kinda 1500-6000 rubles (16$-65$)

Canon recently made a slower rf lens but for 20k, Canon RF 1200mm f/8 L IS USM.

Nikon made some 1200-1700mm f5.6 - f8 AI lenses. Not hand holdable of course. Nowadays 800mm lenses are sort of hand holdable I think.
i think was 70k in some point of the production.... half price in advance and 6 month to delivery
the 1200/5.6 is absolutely iconic. Back when I was a kid with a 300D and a 70-200/4 I used to lust over that thing in catalogues - a bit sad perhaps!

I got mine during 2015-2016, It suffers from many things like front light, too overtight focusing ring, fungus, very fluctuated image quality, very bad at night on fast aperture, too soft.
Even at F4 - it stills to be considered as "soft quality". This is just a dust cover while having nothing but stock DSLR kit lens, better, but can't be used on a commercial basis.
At the same time, the Canon EF50 F1.8 - was a great option to have for around same 10-50$ (lol) for good used one.
The cost for helios was like 50-500 rubles (1.5$-15$), now it is kinda 500-2000 rubles (5.5$-22$)
The cost for canon was like 500-1500 rubles (15-100$), now it's kinda 1500-6000 rubles (16$-65$)
I'd love to get for $2 😂 here it costs minimum $30 to ship 😰
@@CongThanhContent lolwut, 30$ for this - is way too much, mate
Ask your friends, probably you can get it with somebody during travel flights or so :D
btw: Canon's 50mm FD lens (radioactive one) - is a much interesting thing to buy, just sayin'
