Another one i'm missing out on for it being too modern! I do however have the 1971 Thorium-baked version, and that is one of my favourite manual lenses (along with the excellent 55 1.8). Nice vid - cheers very much.
One of my favorite lenses! I bought one about a year after I bought my first 35mm SLR, a Pentax MX in 1978. A voiceover audio editing suggestion: Use a pop/sibilance shield on your voiceover microphone to reduce high frequency noise. You can also try filters in your video editing software. Also try a little bit of compression of the audio to reduce the volume variation in your narration. Thanks.
Oooohhh, brilliant!! Even though I know little about lenses, cameras, photography in generalI, I really enjoyed watching that, as I do with all of them. Look forward to the next episode!
Hi, I've just tested this lens from a reseller and found the focus ring had a little movement when moved left to right (not turned, but moved) like if it was a little loose, and also made a little click sound when doing this. I'd like to know if this is normal or I should avoid buying it. Thank you very much, wonderful review BTW.
All I can say is in my copy there is no movement or clicking, so you may want to check it carefully before you buy , if you get one in good condition, I'm sure you won't be disappointed (good luck)
I've got this exact same lens mounted on a Ricoh camera. The front lens surround is coming loose though (easily wobbles and rattles when gently shaken) by at least 2mm. Would it be more economical to get it repaired or simply buy another? (UK prices are around £50 - £70)
@@sputumtube Hi , my version is in excellent condition, I paid £40 in 2023 from eBay, often go for a little more as you have mentioned, I took a chance as the description was poor and the photos of the lens weren't clear, so I messaged the seller directly, asked if the lens had fungus and if there were any mechanical issues excetra, I often try my own repairs on lenses with various results usually good but not always, personally I've never paid for a repair, but that's partly because i don't know if anyone local , let me know how you get on with the lens, as a side note I've just recently put a roll of film through a Ricoh SLR very nice camera, thank you for the comment
