Here is a video about my vintage Contax Zeiss set . What lenses do you guys use and do you shoot with vintage ones? Cheers, Flo

@anttiheik 3 года назад

I have a set of 10 Pre-Ai Nikkor lenses from late 60’s and early 70’s that I use with both my film cameras and my BMPCC4K. I love how the single coated old glass flares compared to modern lenses or even AI-S Nikkors. They also have a really long focus throw compared to for example newer Nikkors or Canon new FD’s. The Contaxes are on my list to try though!

@Pla2es 3 года назад

Congratulations for your amazing content! In my short experience with the old Bmpcc I use Nikkor AF and AIS glass with a Viltrox Speedbooster. But I find purple fringing in the flares annoying, and I they are too cold with skin tones. Same with a Rollei Planar 50mm F1.8 and a Hasselblad 80mm f2.8 I tested, too cold with the eye's bags. I prefer Minolta Rokkor glass for colour reproduction, more neutral. This summer I was lucky, and found a bargain set of Leica R (28,35,50,90,135 and 180mm) and they do shine in skin tones creaminess! The problem is to find a 19mm to complete the set below 1000 EUR. 😌

@cyphermote6857 3 года назад

I've watched a few of your videos (maybe original BMPCC days) and noted a general preference for a particular colour cast (light magenta?) which I chalked down to your grading. I skimmed through one of your recent Antarctica videos to re-check and can see the grade there as well (neutralized by the cooler light a bit) . The Zeiss glass organically leans towards a warmer look so there is a possibility of compounding the warm effect.... but you appear not to have compensated. Again, preference, but your sunsets seem affected by the compounding the most... appears a bit contrived. However, love your work and dedication... and for showcasing Sydney. Keep up the good stuff ! Thanks

Since I really wanted to avoid using speedboosters on my Pocket 4K, I went with the 0.95 Voigtlanders. They are, in my opinion, the most cinematic glass you can get from this new era of lenses, on any Blackmagic camera. Currently I own the 10.5mm, 17.5mm and 42.5mm and actually have no need now to get any more. To me, this set with BMPCC4K is the best what I could have now, and in the future.

It isn’t quite fair if the FDs you are comparing are the bottom line sets (24 f/2.8 and 50 f/1.8). If someone does want to go the FD Route they should definitely seek out the middle line (24/28/35 f/2.0; 50 f/1.4 etc.) as they have a much better build. However the Zeiss are outstanding-I used them on my first feature with a Red Epic-MX and loved the look. Great video! Thanks :)

@Loftikaz 3 года назад

Got my first vintage lens thanks to you, it was 25mm f2.8 mmj from Japan, I'm using an ebay adapter for now till I get to put either leitax or simmod for a stronger mount. if anyone is considering buying note there's extra import fees to pay (about 20% the cost), in case you need to return you can't have those refunded easily. On the Viltrox to EF they fit perfectly, on Metabones Ultra they cause a slight scratch to the velvet side inside, on both speedboosters I had to adjust them to get infinity focus "by rotating the inner glass". but I guess if use them on native EF camera you won't have this issue. I learned so much already in just a week, this kinda added motivation to go out and shoot in these depressing lockdown times. Thanks :)

@heartshapedfilms 3 года назад

After watching this I am unsure if Ziess is the way I'd want to go. I love everything except for me if like to lean more into to flare and other imperfections that come with vintage glass. The FD lenses may be an option though I think the Nikon's may be my middle ground. As they tend to be of good construction and have a good focus throw.

But I Use my Zeiss C/Y lenses much more. They make a more bluntly look. Especial the Planar and Distagons got a very fine 3D rendering -(called "the Zeis pop"), The Sonnars on the other hand got very fine shades, if not up-sharpned to much, which gives a pronounced plasticity -very good for faces. Both the Leica and Zeiss got beautiful rich colors. For me it looks like the Canon FDs have less contrast and a more flat look and not as clean saturated colors (I sold mine).

@punkrachmaninoff 3 года назад

@@OfTwoLands @Of Two Lands Oh, yeah the Olympus OM Zuiko series primes are definitely vintage and almost as good as their Leica equivalents. Much the same with Pentax-M; frankly Leica and Contax lovers just have too much money. I have tested over 150 lenses in the past 4 years (I resell film cameras locally)... The so-called premium brands aren't noticeably better, especially through the bottleneck of instagram. They don't justify the price when you can sell one and buy an entire set of primes from Olympus, Konica, Nikon, Canon, or Pentax. Both the Pentax-M 28/2.8 and 35/2.8 are very underrated lenses, if you shoot film the Pentax-M 40/2.8 pancake is without competition. Anyone who wants to disrespect Pentax glass obviously hasn't tried their M-Series on a mirrorless camera or film camera, nor have they tried their best glass (such as the Pentax-M 28mm 2.0 for example). The 28/2.0 is literally as good as any 28mm ever manufactured, I am lucky to have found one as they are quite rare. The Konica Minolta glass is also tremendously undervalued-- their 40/1.8 pancake almost never leaves my Fuji X-T3. Their final manual focus versions (the Konica AR series) can get excruciatingly expensive but some of them are readily available under $100 and are well worth the price. Konica made a 28mm 1.8 that sells for $1500-$2000 regularly; is it worth it? Not a chance.

Do you have some rotation between the lens and body when using an adapter and pulling focus? How do you deal with it? Does the Leitax mount have the same rotation on the camera mount issues?

@OfTwoLands 3 года назад

The Leitax is rock solid like standard EF. With the adapters I used to have an issue with my first 18mm because the focus ring was too stiff. Now it's all good :). I get the occasional wobble but it's super minimal.

@OfTwoLands 3 года назад

I use cheap ring I found on ebay, they work very well. And no, I haven't tried the 100-300, I generally do not shoot a lot of content past 100 unless it is doco work and in that case I use my Canon lenses.

@nathan-lewis 3 года назад

Hey Flo! Love the content - I'm a photographer/filmmaker using the bmpcc4k (bought before the 6k was announced and have yet to switchover). I wanted to ask if there was a reason outside of cost that you went with the 2.8 lenses versus the 1.4 versions of some of these focal lengths? I have a full set of Sigma Art lenses (24-70 and 70-200 zooms and 24, 35, 50, 85 Primes), as well as a few Canon L lenses, but I'm wondering if I'm getting too caught up in the appeal of vintage lenses or if there really is a big benefit to some zeiss glass in my life. Thoughts?

@OfTwoLands 3 года назад

Hey, the main reason was the cost of course but also because the ones that I got (sometimes dubbed as the gimbal kit) are pretty much all the same size and weight which a huge advantage in some cases. Vintage lenses are great for certain projects. I only use mine for specific work or when I have the time to use them on set as well. I still use my canon and sigma zooms a lot especially for documentary work. In my opinion having vintage primes is great for commercial work, passion projects and also as investment.

Another question. I see a lot of people declicking their aperture. I have Canon Fds on Sony A7iii. I never needed the aperture to be smooth. Do you find a need of decklicking it? other than changing the exposure when filming a continuous shot from dark to bright and vice versa?

@OfTwoLands 3 года назад
