    Just grabbed one from B&H Photo online for $90. Thanks for the quick demo. Did a web search and was pleased to see that your EOS 70D is shooting APS-C, like the Sony a6300 I'm going to mount this lens too. So a practical demonstration for me of what I can expect from the effective 750mm focal length I'll get with the APS-C 1.5 focal length multiplier...

    I like how you show the outside of the camera while you zooming in for reference. I might get this lens when I buy my Nikon D3500 because it's gonna come with just the 18-55mm kit lens. So, I need something good for zooming.

    Keep in mind the camera used is a canon 70D which is cropped sensor apsc, meaning whatever lens you put on, you multiply it by 1.6 so this 500 mm becomes more like a 750mm lens 😱

    • @emar779
      @emar779 8 місяців тому +1

      I'd like to clarify that this isn't accurate - 500mm will remain 500mm, the focal length doesn't change. What happens instead, is that the FOV (field of view) becomes smaller (due to a crop sensor being smaller than full frame) and that makes it *appear* as if you are looking through a 750mm lens. In other words, a 500mm full frame lens has the same FOV as a 750mm lens, but the focal length is the same, meaning the object will be the same size regardless of sensor size. Resolution of the sensor on the other hand, will make a difference in how much detail you have at 100%, but the focal length will remain the same.

      @@coleyounger2874 ND 2x, ND 4x and Skylight 1A filters. Use the ND filters to (artificially) increase the fixed f/8 aperture to f/11, f/16 or f/22 (both stacked together)... The Skylight 1A has a slight magenta cast to warm up cold light scenes (lots of blue light), but may not be useful with AWB engaged.

      Msotly the same optical block, except your Bower/Vivitar may be better built quality (and quality assurance). The 500/f8 lens we see around at cheap price are all copies of Samyang lens made long time ago (and based on a Tamron 500mm f8 design). Check on mftlenses.com

    I'm using one of these (a Quatenary f8) on a Nikon; I get an image in the viewfinder, but I click and all I get is a black... No picture, just black... The camera is set on Manual Mode so that is not the problem. What is the problem?

    • @DoubleMonoLR
      @DoubleMonoLR Рік тому +1

      Most likely because it's a manual lens, so the camera doesn't detect it/doesn't know what it is. Cameras often have settings to let you take a photo even when no lens is detected /'without a lens'.
      This should be in the camera manual.

      The amount of light that the lens can put into the sensor. It’s about the overture. Example: an f1.8 is much luminous than an f16.
