Vintage Cinema Lens Set for $1000! 

What camera did you use for this video. Your channel is criminally undersubscribed

I knew they were there, but your presentation and acting were marvelous. Congrats! Great job!

Fun presentation! However, the title may be misleading. A "true" K35 replica set is made up of the SSC aspherical lenses from the Canon FD line up. If you're not pressed for having a more complete set of these lenses to be identical, then you can save a lot of money. If you want more information on lenses that come closer and what to keep an eye for, head over to The Media Division for their K35/ Canon FD line up!

The only problem I have with those lenses is the flange distance. My bmpcc6k has an ef mount with a LONGER flange distance than fd, you have to mod the lenses, which is expensive (195$ per lens for a QUALITY mount and not a plastic one) AND you have to be good at taking the whole back element of the lens off. Too much hustle for me... for now, the sigma 18-35 and canon ef50mm 1.8 stm have to hold up... maybe a mist filter will do in achieving some of the qualities of those older lenses...

Tiny inaccuracy here: Technically, K95 were exclusively taken from the Canon FD asperical, as you said, but you didn't use or show a single aspherical lens. Those go for at least 1000€ each. The non-aspherical lenses you used that are abundant on the market are really close though and no one can really tell the visual difference. So, great video. My FDs and I are really enjoyed dissecting your lighting and framing. Splendid work.

Great explanation and examples! I'm starting to experiment with vintage lenses and look forward to seeing more how-to videos, especially the LIDAR focus, as shooting manual focus handheld is one of my biggest challenges with vintage.

Hey there found your video and just decided to collect my own fd lenses to create a cinema collection. Do you have a list of the process or maybe if you used the ndf or fd. I know I see fd but on eBay sometimes I see fd ndf 28mm for example. So I’m curious if your using breech lock or bayonet lock. Thank you

You have your 57-77mm step up ring next is your magnetic filter holder and lastly your filter? I’m trying to recreate your project. Thanks for the sick video

My FD lenses and I watch on in-approval.

Is it possible to adapt these to a Pl mount camera?

1000$? Maybe in 2012 but most countries have shipping costs and taxes. A complete sorted set with appropriate filter rings and case and caps is more like 3-4000$ if you want the good ones with no fungus or scratches. I gave about this much for Zeiss Jena, one lens I had to order two times because the condition didn’t meet description.

Totally awesome, love it! What is the magnetic filter holder system you mentioned. I need that!

Mind sharing the list of components? I have FD 50mm and 24mm. Also the Helios 44-2 58mm.

Since there are different canon fd lens which ones did you get?

Wow, this is awesome. Great tip! Sub’d!

What did you use to mount the lenses to the camera? I have an ef mount and have been looking at Simmod’s

Great breakdown of how you kitted out your lenses! Certainly got me thinking 😁

Sorry man but I have a question... Did you shoot the your footage on 50 fps? Because the look is too filmic and cinematic but the feel is more like TV... I do apologise in advance if I am wrong...

this makes me haps!

Funny story, my photography (and later video) story began with a Canon AE-1 at the age of 16. That's 32 years ago. The two lenses for that camera, and I still have both the camera and the lenses, that I got with that camera back then are the 28mm F/2.8 S.C. FD and the 50mm F/1.4 S.C.C. FD. Guess, I'm going on a hunt for all the other stuff :)

great explanation and infos, thx a lot !! (but next time would be nice if you go outside and film some beautiful outdoor footage ... )

Nice video! Which adapter(s) are you using? :)

where did you find the cage with the circular hole in the foam ?

can i just rent your kit?

Pretty sick dude!!!!

What is your lens set combination? MMs and Fs

What magnetic filters are you using?

Stop it! Too good! No more!

Los lentes Canon tienen bastante viñeta.

so... why you not compare some shots with NON-cinema lenses? cos your location was right setuped, light, colorgraded and so one... ofc it will look nice) and think it will be nice on other 2020 year auto-lenses too, cos its setuped shot and light. Nothing can make it looks bad)))

Will you be willing to sell the lens set?

but the fd 20mm is like 1300 on its own

That’s dope
