Giving the 60 year old canon 58 mm f1.2 radioactive lens a test drive, dust of those vintage lenses and join me in the real world.#vintagelens#canonlens
Interesting video. Nice lens heavy and very well made and usually at low price than the ltm version. Very interesting pictures and light diffusion at full aperture with a pleasant blur and very sharp at f8. Who needs more ? I also like the colors with the Sony sensor. Thx for the video and if you can mix the music a little less Loid it would be perfect. Thx.
Thank you, and Thanks, for watching, totally agree, about the sound, it was a little loud on this one, learning as I go along and always looking to improve , thanks for the feedback
You are a good videographer and a good story teller. I happens to own the same lens as well as a Fuji XT1, so naturally I feel inspired to go out and use that combo as well. Normally I find the old lenses a bit heavy compared to Fuji’ s own modern lenses, which by the way are both sharper and better color corrected. In my opinion the vintage lenses have a better weight distribution on the vintage bodies; since they are heavier than the Fuji XT line. But of course we can’t deny that creamy ness of the bright aperture and all the golden flair that comes with that. By the way, test some Nikon lenses as well, if those are available to you. Greetings from Denmark. ❤❤
@@michaelmygind5061 thank you very much, it means a lot to me that you're inspired to get out there in the real world , I especially want to try nikon lenses along with Leica , almost won a Nikon in auction last week, but just missed out .cost has held me back so far, but I definitely will be featuring Nikkor glass.
Partly right, Chromatic aberration also called, chromatic distortion, colour aberration etc , is a failure of the lens to focus all colours to the same point, in short, causing the light to be dispersed, chromatic aberration manifests itself as fringes of colour along boundaries, so in theory if you can eliminate chromatic aberration you can make the image appear sharper , of course the other benefit of using thorium is that it reduces the necessary curvature of the glass allowing the lens elements to be thinner and therefore lighter, phew a long winded explanation 😊
I have a couple thorium lenses. I don't bother treating them with UV light. It's easier to do a custom white balance with a gray card if you don't want the yellow tint in your photos.
