CHEAP vintage lenses that turns digital footage into FILM 

Congrats on 400k dude. Legend. You're gonna keep going up from here! No one else deserves it like you

I found the 50mm f2 at a local pawn shop for $20. Adapted it to my Fuji XT4 and it's been magical ever since. Can't believe the results you can get from these 50 year old lenses.

Nice to see your channel grow. You're a unique creator on RU-vid for sure. As to vintage lenses: 100%! With mirrorless full frame cameras becoming cheaper and more accessible year by year, vintage lenses will only grow in popularity. I already got all the Minolta Rokkor glass I could ever want/need. Best to grab what you want now, it's only going to get more expensive from here on.

That short was gorgeous, man! You have a great eye for cinematography and storytelling, and I can't imagine how much time and effort must have gone into developing those skill-sets over the years. Congrats on 400k; very well deserved!

Change is a part of life. I personally think the new space looks dope and am looking forward to trying the nikkon lens you recommended. Much love

You’re just lacking a script man, but then you’re gonna be on your way for a short feature movie. Love the look of that footage, color grading is beautiful, id even say your footage is 5x better than the last Netflix production I’ve seen, it’s looks like proper movie stills, im kinda impressed and im not even into video, but well done really

I like your new digs, but just please yourself and don't worry about what others think. Your work is high high value... very inspiring.

You're one of the very few creators we look forward to posting content. 400k is truly deserved

Bro rlly comes out here with the most characteristic cinematography and colour grading. Cant get enough of your videos

You truly are my favorite storyteller. I started my videography specifically based off of your inspiration. Congrats on 400k!

I think you are the best colorist and director of photography on RU-vid. Amazing.

Congratulations Vuh! always keeping it 100%. Another Siqq video!!!!🎉🎉🎉

I guess i tell you everything when i tell you: you fkn put a genuine smile on my face with the first scenes. Absolutely fantastic, love the feeling

Bro you’re so inspiring. Don’t care if you film with stacks of potatoes behind you, I’d watch you always. It’s your vibe. Never change that.

I was just binge watching some of your old video and then you upload this gem ✅

You deserve the channel growth, sir. Every video is inspiring. I have developed a love for vintage lenses and this video, from start to finish, looks amazing. Great work!

I actually own a couple of AI-S lenses that I use on my cameras and I love the look. Sometimes I forget how strong lens flares can get, as well as the look you get out of them. But based on my previous research, the main difference between the AI and AI-S lenses is the better coating on the AI-S, which is what led to my choice.

Side rant I dislike when RU-vidr influencers say I don’t do photography FPS = motion pictures = video luvvvvvv u brooooo

Really liking the 4:3 format. Glad you’re using it more since covering about it in your previous video.

I fell onto your page cos I"m searching for info on using old lenses on 'newer' cameras (and I mean "newer" cos I'm on Soc Sec and can't afford those pricey ones). And your page turned up and then I saw the footage and your post that you'd made leaps and bounds for subscribers... so kudoes! Your footage is just beautiful. Those colors are magnificent... thank you sooo much. I'm an ole punk rocker and have dabbled in art in so many ways and now decided to try photography. I piced up an ole Coolpix a couple years ago but I find it boring... I can't mess with the settings and I feel that need to ..so, I'm going for an ole Canon D10 and then going to pick up a Konica Hexanon and adapter so I am forced to play in a certain format/view and see what I can learn. And your little vid here is just pushing me onward. Thank you, again. Pls, be safe and all my love.

I got a 50mm 1.4 nikkor 10 years ago for 90 bucks and still loving it for both photography and videography. Best move to film this video on the lens you are talking about!

The 'S' stands for 'Sept' (Latin for '7', referring to the number of lens elements)

Dude, congrats! Your content is dope as hell and I'm proud to be a part of this ecosystem!

Your calm storytelling and good tips, will bring you soon 1m

New Sub! You got me at Lover's Rock. LOVE LOVE the saturated look I like to shoot. Almost cross processed feel but in a sharper look. Miss that so much in films. Dunno what most cinematographers FEEL when they are shooting that "color" that looks like monochrome lol. Great work - thank you!

I really like that I can feel your passion through this video! I also really love your shooting style. These vintage shots are amazing. Really want to stop doing some shooting like this now. Great video!!!❤

Congratulations! You're a talented guy and I'm happy to see you rewarded for your work. As for vintage lenses, they're fun because of the "easter egg" surprises you receive by using them. If you're still looking, find a 105mm f2.5 ai or ais. It's a legend.

Love the vibes, the color grading, this video is both warm and cold 💯

The image that these lenses produce is amazing! Did you use your sony fx3 or blackmagic camera?

CONGRATS ON 400k GAWD DAMN IT !!!!! WELL DESERVED. The one thing I love about your work is that you always put YOU in if that makes sense, I hope it does lmao but congrats . Love the new place too.

your new place will get more and more character with time. Its great Vuhlandes!

You can modify the aperture ring to non-click by disassembling a little bit. Be careful not to mess up infinity focus calibration. Most ai-s and af-d lenses share same internal optical design so whether it's ai-s or af-d doesn't matter. Those lenses were produced in nikon's golden era and almost all of them are great to use even these days. I recommend you 50mm f1.2, 180mm f2.8 and 105mm f2.8 macro. It's sad to see people degrading all nikon gears for absurd reasons(other than body af performance haha). Their lenses and ergonomics are great.

Congratulations man, Your art is inspirational, and many people benefit from it.

Congrats on the 400k. We appreciate you !!

Nice short film. 4:3 aspect ratio works well. Thanks for the tip on the vintage lens; I just ordered one plus an adapter for my XH2s. Also, nice sweater you're wearing - very festive!

I am very proud of your growth followed you early on when you were under 50k wishing you a fast million

I love the idea of using what is available. Spending tons of money is not always the answer. Hello from a new subscriber in Royal Oak!

Such beautiful footage! Really informative explanations too - thanks for sharing with us :)

Well said man!! I bought my Vintage Nikon lenses from the USA basically 12 years ago when I owned a 5DMark2 and they are amazing. I quit using them because I had to rely on autofocus with my work but I am going to use them more often for my personal youtube projects.

You deserve it and your work deserves may more eyes to be seeing it. Keep doing you and the world will one day realize the work you do is above the rest.

subbed just off the first 46 seconds, happy for u big dog. i myself have started dabbling into photography and purchased my first camera, im tuned in! bless!!

Congratulations Vuh glad to see you doing you thang.

Big congrats brotha! Well deserved man! Let’s gooooo🎉

Congrats Vuh! 🎉

I'm so glad to see that you got to appreciate nikon! People be hatin for no reason at all! Keep making beautiful photos and videos man! 👏🏼

Congratulations on the 400k, you deserve it.

Tricky thing with the Nikons (especially if you've already developed focus pulling muscle memory) is that they focus the opposite direction. Really great look from them though.

400k! Amazing! You continue to make beautiful pictures bro

I collect cameras and lenses and all you say is true, Nikon lenses are good, as are Takumar, but i watched a youtube guy who like you uses vintage Minolta worth a watch key in cinematic or film using vintage Minolta, back to your channel, i like it, relaxing and the video was good!

That was so dope, loved that intro, such a vibe.

If you need some Vintage lenses suggestions, I can help :) I think you would love to test out some projector lenses.

Good one! I’m so happy I found your channel free days ago. I don’t even own any camera other than iPhone, but I find visuals so inspiring that I started learning, what can I do with what I have, to get something similar to what you show us.

I love working with vintage lenses. great video as always and congrats on the follows! you work hard and you deserve it.🌸✨

Congrats on the 400k! Thank you for creating videos! I just found your channel this year and enjoy all your content 🎉

Congrats Vuh !! Looking forward to seeing what kinda film photography projects you got coming up man

I have about 20 lenses and they're all Nikon F mount and i use them with my Blackmagic's and Z Cam. Can't beat them for the price! Congrats on 400k!

I love your videos man. it's a slice of calm art/motivation

Congrats on 400k! One of the best on the platform

these shots are incredible mane

Congrats big dog your videos are so nostalgic super dope my boy

Amazing work,masterpiece

I've been using a full set of these 1.4 primes for 30+ years. Great lenses.

Man, the F3 changed the film game for me…I just love it. I have the 28mm, 50 and just got the 105mm f2.5. I also just snagged the adapter for my A7iv

Look into the cheap vintage pentax k lenses. Those have some pleasing qualities despite being like $20 for a lens.

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 congrats on the 400K bro. And on such a great lens review. Everything you shot has kind of a Fargo feel but with something more unique which I can’t put my finger on. These old-school Nikon lenses are indeed, when they really had their shit rockin! How do you feel they compare to some of them more affordable, inexpensive cinema lenses? I ask because they really are gorgeous!

Congrats on 400k!! Very well deserved and good content as always

You deserve all the flowers... True artist

congrats man! I just came across your content recently. I really enjoy your work, and hope to learn as much as I can from you.

Congrats on 400k! Great video btw, i love watching your content. Love you fam!❤

Shot on these a lot, they're super rad. I would also recommend the Zeiss distagon lenses at the expense of a few more bones.

Congratulations 🎉 I love the feel of that intro.

I have a few old Nikon lenses that I love using both when filming with my D800 and my Lumix G100. I use a 55mm f/3.5 and an 85mm f/1.4.

Congrats on the 400k!

I have 2 Nikon vintage lenes for my digital camera, and yes they do make a different look. Plus it is affordable. ❤

am i the only one that loves vintage lenses because they dont get 100% film look on modern cameras. the pictures imo look better than film because of it. sort of the best of both worlds

Congratulations brother! You're worth it 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Great content, heard to find RU-vid movies that i like. Keep up the amazing work, and i love your colaboration with film and digital.

i love these lenses, i owned the Nikon film camera (the FM) made for these lenses, and it is my favorite film camera of all time. Especially in the late 70s when these lenses were made, Nikon was producing the best film cameras in the world. After seeing this gorgeous video i have no worries about using this lens for video, i just wish i could get my video to look as beautiful as yours.

One of the favorite local photographers in my area shoots NIKON and the colors are just absolutely gorgeous. Very little editing. If I could get a Leica body, with Fujis jpegs, Canons AF, Panasonics ibis, Sonys ISO, and Nikons colors Id be set 😆

congrats man - you have been such a big inspiration to me and others - thank you for your work

Yo, Vuhlandes you're an inspiration, my guy. Congratulations!

You make fantastic videos! Congratulations on 400K subscribers! ❤

Your so talented bro. Big inspo. Your model is deff a beauty as well:) I think I fell in love lol

Congrats on the 4hunnit!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Congrats to 400k Subscribers. Greetings from Germany 😊

we gonna get you to 500k my brotha

Love the new space for a change

This was amazing looking forward to a short film.

Greatness bro loved the short, congrats 🎉

Congratulations on the 400k👍 I love that you're shooting vintage glass, there absolutely is very real character and nuance that is rendered by these different lenses that is missed with many of today's exceptionally sharp and precission computer designed and manufactured lenses. ... as for all the Karens, who say "if you want the film look shoot film", ask them if they ever seen any of Roger Deacons work? 😂 Some people understand the world is better served by our work, than by our opinions. With that regard I will say to you, Nice Work! There really are some fantastic vintage lenses that you can adapt to mirrorless cameras. for decades, different lenses have been adapted to different cameras the biggest deciding factor on what you can mount on your camera is the Flange distance. There are charts you can find online that will identify the flange distance of different mounts. Nikon has always suffered because their flange distance made it neer impossible to adapt many lenses from other systems. But their lenses could be adapted to most everything. 1 camera system that has FANTASTIC lenses that never got wide spread or poppular respect is Konica. The flange distance for Konica lenses made them un-usable for most poppular camera systems prior to mirrorless. The Konica AR 40mm f1.8 is crazy sharp and the 50mm f1.4 and 57mm f1.2 are two increadible fast lenses that weren't really adaptable in the past, to poppular SLR systems with flange distances greater than their 40.5mm they've gotten new discovered respect with morrorless shooters. It's not for everyone, but if you value the nuance and character rendered by unique lenses, that lend an evocative tone to your work, and have a talent for visual story telling, or even just an unyielding reverence for compelling visual ellements of life and a compulsion to capture them, then it's only natuaral to be captivated and compelled, by the magic of how some of these lenses transform the way you use your tools, and the esthetic that is possible. Imagine if Jimmy Hendrix played his guitar, "the way You're supposed too!" I liked this video... but then I unliked it.... so I could like it again! 🔔🔨 Hoping 2024 bring lots of new opportunities for you to discover and share!

Good content man. I've been subbed for about a year and I always look forward to your new videos. I've been rocking the Nikon Ai 50mm f/1.4 and the 85mm f/1.8 AiS for about a decade, they are great lenses and give me a very nice look. They are also built like tanks and the focus ring is smooth as silk. I need to hunt down something a bit more wide angle in the Ai or AiS. They do have scary flares in bright sun and really wash oput and have tones of CA. But for overcast or interiors, they look really nice.

I use a mamiya 45mm medium format f 2.8 I love it. Top content bra a thank you from the uk

Congrats! Question, do you have a screenplay in the works? Your story, subjects and talent are so worthy!

Congrats on the 400K ! keep going

Just subscribed and I love the place on eBay looking for vintage lenses now thanks to you

yooo congrats on 400k

CONGRATSSSS ON 400K ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 LOOK AT YOU GO

Note that on the Ai version it has blue fringing on the highlights/light sources when pointed at the lens. The AI-s doesn’t have that issue. The AI has a longer focus throw though which is nice

Congrats on 400! One of the goats!

400K!! FINNA BE HERE THE 1 MIL TOO 🔥
