Is modern glass better due to the sharpness? Corner to corner sharpness, at the cost of light, character, micro contrast, 3D pop, colour saturation etc. Let's compare some $4000 lens vs a $200 one. Nikon ZF with Voigtlander 58mm f1.4, Nikkor 105mm f2.5 and Nikkor Z 85mm f1.2 S lens. Best lenses are cheap.

@aeonsnarfus 28 дней назад

Each lens must be evaluated for rendering, quality, and character, regardless of maker, age, or element count. There are gems from each maker across time.

@audioupgrades 28 дней назад

It is true. There are loads of vintage lenses that don't look anything special. The ones that are praised for their image quality today were maybe one or two per cent of the total number of lenses made. In that sense, I think there are fewer duds among modern lenses because modern software and manufacturing techniques make it easier to make good lenses.

@JohnDrummondPhoto 28 дней назад

The main difference IMO between the Nikkor and Voigtlander lenses is how they render green. Voigt was much brighter; I don't know why. The Nikkor has much better Toneh. P.S. that pearlescent filter has a distinct red cast. I'm not a fan

@Elmex_1 28 дней назад

i could be wrong, but i think best compromise is to just buy pana-leica lenses for mft. Paired with PDAF of G9m2, the panaleica glass is perfect combination of "style" and "modern". The "modern glass" of other systems seem to be too compromised, it's better to just stick to MFT that still retains some "style".

Hi Casey! Love your channel. I have a Fuji Xh2 and am looking for characterful lens around the 30-50mm FF range. I have the 18mm f1.4 which I think pops, I use it all the time and the 70-300 with the amazing stabe! I need a middle focal length I looked at the 35mm 1.4 but it's old now and the autofocus is slow, the Viltrox 27mm F1.2 but its got 55,000 elements and heavy, the Fuji 33mm F1.4 very clinical very many elements. I've settled on the 6 element Voigty 27 ultron f2. Am I stupid? 😄🙏

Yeah the difference in my eyes between the modern rendering and that of lenses with 3d pop is that the modern rendering makes you look seperated from the scene entirely, like the background is a green screen. 3d pop isolates you from the background while still making you look like you're actually there

@brugj03 28 дней назад

Yeah and that`s with a good prime, if you use a zoom then you will be copy pasted in to the green screen like a foto in a foto. It will give you a flat as a pancake rendering, hey, as long as it`s sharp. To see that effect check out the pics of the new sigma 1.8 zoom, it`s flatter than a flat earth theorie.

@livejames9374 28 дней назад

That’s 1.2 and a very shallow dof, vs whatever the 1.4 voight was stopped down to.

@audioupgrades 28 дней назад

That's probably because bokeh wasn't a known thing in the vintage era. Background blur was just an accidental consequence of a large aperture. Most older photographers preferred a sharp backround and would stop down as much as the light would allow. It's only in the modern era that lenses are designed for bokeh specifically.

@brugj03 28 дней назад

You say what the rest of the reviewers are too frightened to say. Panasonic is history. My local shop won't sell them after having so many returns due to disappointment over autofocus. Micro four thirds was invented to be a small system. Now it's massive bodies. You can't overcome the crop factor , limited pixels, limited dynamic range etc . Just buy an apsc for size and full frame for quality. My zve1 with a 24mm 2.8 small prime is a stunning small camera and lens combo. No idea why I'd pick up a Panasonic full frame or gh7.

The cheaper Chinese lenses are actually pretty good relatively speaking, especially if you want the vintage look, since a lot of them use the same or similar optical formulas that vintage lenses had. Even the TTart 25mm f2 I got for 50 bucks on MFT has some pop given the right situation. The 42.5 Nocticron is one of the best portrait lenses I've used in general, along with the 45mm f1.2 and 75mm f1.8 Olympus lenses.
