In this video, I explore the fascinating world of combining vintage lenses with modern digital cameras! I take my Minolta analog lens on a Sony e-mount body, thanks to an adapter from K&F Concept. Join me on a photo walk where I capture a range of street shots, scenic views, and even a friendly cat, all while sharing the unique qualities and challenges of using an analog lens in the digital age. From softer contrasts to artistic bokeh, I break down the pros and cons of this creative experiment!

I am not sure what you are saying. Light passes through glass is neither digital nor analogue. the CCD sensor is analogue and the logic in the camera converts it to digital signals. 35 years back or so we had many camera systems with 'digital' lenses, they would work on SLRs with a normal 35mm film. These lens communicated with the body for auto focus and aperature. and sure the lenses back then could be very sharp as well. I remember I had a russian made 135mm F/1.8 prime lens with M42 mount (Praktica cameras used them). It had 32 aperature blades. the aperature was always a perfect circle. you don't see that nowadays anymore. I think you should refer to this category lenses as budget or old mechanical lenses There was a manufacturer in the US, KatzEye that made focusing screens for autofocus camera's. a focusing screen is essential for good focusing with a manual camera on an autofocus body (not digital body).

such a valuable feedback, thank you so much! I get what you mean, I stated this in another comment as well that refering to it as analog lens was not interely correct since the characteristics I placed in the video are not only suitable for those lenses. I guess what I was trying to say is that these lenses that were primarily designed to work on a 35mm film camera do have a different look than modern lenses. even those with which communicate with the camera system. at least this is what I was trying to find out in that video haha. thanks for the monitor tipp! I will look into that :)

@@MaikeBorn I hope it helps, the focusing screen was a piece of high quality plastic that you would install above the mirror. in an autofocus camera you would replace it with the original one and it would give you that typical circle in the middle which you would then see in the viewfinder. the circle is split in half and when you would turn the focus ring on your lens you would see the two halfs move. as soon as they would line up, focus was achieved. On mirrorless camera's this doesn't work anymore. as there is no optical viewfinder.

There is no such thing as an "analog or digital lens", effectively. They're all optical lenses. You have lenses that do, and do not focus manually. You have lenses that do or do not have a chip that communicates data to the camera. However there are manual focus, manual aperture lenses that you mention are "analog" but that still have a chip that communicates with the camera. And hence are "digital". Heck, even a camera that was a film camera from the 90s could communicate aperture information. I think it's not very good to use "analog" and "digital" to describe lenses. It's not common in the industry and somewhat of an amateur/niche designation. Just say manual focus or "vintage lens" or something versus modern lens.

hey thanks a lot for your feedback! I must admit I never thought of it like that but it makes absolutely sense! I even have vintage lenses with auto focus. I guess I used this term because it was more common to me since I was talking about lenses that were primarily designed and build to work on a camera that works with film and not a digital sensor. But the characteristics I stated (like manual focus) aren't of course only for those lenses. I'm going to shoot more videos using this lens and I will try to correct myself. :)

Some interesting results! Indeed on the softer side of things, but it doesn’t look dull or flat. Kinda like adding negative clarity 😂 and makes the light glow. Works well for the light you had 😁

thanks a lot Keith! yes the light was absolutely magical on that day.

turn the focus peaking on, it will help you to focus properly, i use my very first lens on many of my shooting, (pentax M 50mm f/1.8) even the professional one and the focus peaking help me a lot to get more accurate focus.

@@EdouardSIEBERT wow pentax 50mm sounds like a promising lens! I actually had focus peaking on haha
