I have quite a few of these lenses already in my collection. They are gems. I also like the softer look for moody videos. I could also add that for shooting on these newer camera sensors, especially the larger 42mp A7R III, we are actually asking a lot from these lenses since they were never intended to resolve on these current sensors. That being said, at 4K, I think they do an excellent job and the value for the money cannot be beaten!

Caleb, I really appreciate the generosity of your videos. What I mean by that is: a) you are concise, so you don't waste your viewers' time (and yet your energy is calm rather than the hyped-up vibe that some aspiring tutorial gurus go for) b) You back up all of your suggestions with web links, saving your viewers TONS of research time. That attention to detail extends even to your suggestion to adapt the vintage lenses to Canon EF, then use one EF - NEX (Sony E) adapter on a Sony camera -- with links to recommended adapters. As I said, this thoroughness strikes me as generous. c) You are always cognizant that many people don't have budget for buying the top of the line / trendiest brand name gear, much of which is bizarrely overpriced. You mention Canon FD lenses as another popular (yet more expensive) option for vintage manual lenses. I would LOVE to see a comparison of some of the leading vintage lenses: Chinon vs. Asahi Pentax Super Takumar vs. Canon FD vs. Nikkor ... and maybe throw in a Leica M from the 1980s for the high end. This is great stuff. I will happily point undergraduate film students to your channel.

It’s a great way to go. Ebay is hit and miss for condition, but a big thing to check besides scratches, internal contamination, fungus and haze, is play in the focus ring and the iris ring. Allot of these vintage 35mm format lenses can have some wear and play in the focus that makes the image shift as you make adjustments. So run it through its paces and make sure everything is good before you permanently make it part of your kit. Might need to go through a few copies before you find a good one.

Combos with complete (or mostly) lens sets are some the best deals because buyers are largely seeking out individual lenses to fill a gap in their set. You can often buy a package with a one highly desirable lens for less than it sells on it's own, and the other lenses can than be sold to pay for the pick of the litter.

(beside the usual landscape and family souvenirs in vacation). I don't quite get why you would want to shoot with old "mushy" stuff... even though it was amazing for the time. Sorry... interesting however. I may, one day, get to use of my old Nikkor 28mm 2.8 circa 1980!

Bottom line, with a mirrorless body you can adapt to many different lens mounts fairly cheaply and easily. In older lenses you're talking manual focus but that doesn't have to be scary. Pentax made a huge range of really solid metal prime/zoom lens that are just awesome. Get out there and get creative, you don't need to play the newest gear game, focus on making rather than gear dreaming. Nice video.

I realize that these recommendations are more for the professional cinematographer, however, I feel like the lack of sharpness and the variability of sharpness across the frame that contribute to it's character don't look very good to my eyes at all... also cine lenses like this pretty much require a follow focus which is somewhat difficult to manage as a solo camera operator and thus will often require a first AC to get it right... to me, part of the appeal of these new modern systems is that you CAN do solo run-and-gun work. I like having the choice of autofocus availible (even if i do keep it off most of the time, and I like having the availability of optical image stabilization (even if i keep it off most of the time), and I like that I can get full-time tack sharpness and fully-plainerimage smoothness with consistent color, brightness, and focus across the frame... I find that consistency can really help if you choose to do post-processing or effects shots. Are these cine lenses inexpensive and do they make for some great character if you're looking for a different look? absolutely! but they certainly won't be my first choice for doing anything professional unless the material calls for something that looks odd or "vintage".

These lenses are radioactive. Thorium was used for their production (I advise you to check the information on this topic on the Internet and also note, the reported radiation values are seemingly not harmful, but if you calculate it on a yearly basis, it turns out that only one such lens at home is enough for the radiation dose to remain exceeded - for this reason I got rid of e.g. pentax takumar 50mm 1.4). The Geiger counter is not indifferent to these lenses.

Hi there. Chinon in Europe was imported by Dixon Ltd which is still going. At the time Dixons had their base line called Prinz which was branded photo & cine goods made by various companies. However Chinon was marketed as exclusive to Dixons & their premium brand. Chinon did when video started to come to the market in the early 1980 produce a video camera which was rather basic. And in the mid 90s the company was bought by Kodak & later the name was all but dropped. Chinon did produce in its time some very good lenses & SLR cameras one such camera being the CE4. I hope that is of some help.

I like the way you have given this vintage glass a consistent look by using the step up rings and focusing gears, very clever! I shoot on GH5, G9 and S5 FF. My go to and favorite vintage glass includes; SMC Pentax 50mm f1.4, Canon FDL 50mm f1.8, Nikkor 105mm f2.5, Canon FDL 70~210 f4 and the Fujinon 55mm f1.8. The highlight roll off and micro contrast as well as color rendition produces FILMIC quality images which modern glass just does not give. And I have the excellent Leica 10~25mm f1.7 beast!

Nice vid! I discovered a couple vintage FD's in my buddy's closet, got a $20 adapter, and I just added three lenses to my kit! (I don't think he's caught on yet lol) They've got problems, of course - chromatic aberration is pretty blatant when using the 50mm f1.4 wide open, but stopping down to f2.8 eliminates that. Sometimes I use it wide open anyways, it gives a sort of bloom to the already low-contrast look of the footage, which is really cool in certain situations. As for thoughts on the setup: I thought it was a little bland, maybe add a little color here and there? might make it a little more eye-catching. I love the channel tho, hope you're well :)

It looks like you are using a 3 light setup- #1 light is a big spotlight with big softbox or diffuser panel directly in front of you to achieve the halo effect and light the table, #2 light is from the side as your key light to light up your face, #3 light is a rim light up behind you to light up your hat and the darker side of the face. Is this correct? Btw, I love all your videos and the way you explain everything is so clear and helpful!

The lenses look surprisingly good. If you didn’t tell I wouldn’t be able to tell they were vintage glass.

You should do a video on how you printed those focus rings. I mean, I can guess how, but still. Looks way more elegant than the zip tie looking solutions I've seen.

Nice video, thanks for making it! One of the things that distinguishes lenses for me is how to they are able in coping with strong backlighting: are they able to retain colors, nuances and such. For instance, my Nikon AF-D 50mm with a planar lens design is on the one hand a steal for use indoors, but a nightmare when using outside. It literally shows no contrast whatsoever when shooting in harsh sunlight (and I live in the Netherlands, where there is not so much sun, mind you).

It's hard to find the information on Chinon lenses because Chinon wasn't a lens manufacturer :) They made their camera bodies by themselves though. Chinon lenses were made (just like Vivitars) by several manufacturers and often the same model (by "model" I mean focal length and max aperture combination, not the exact appearance and markings) was made by different companies - there are at least two 35/2.8, at least three 135/2.8 and so on.

You've linked an EF to M4/3 adapter in the description. Isn't it better if we buy a Viltrox speedbooster instead of the Commlite adapter? The Viltrox costs less and is as good as a Metabones speedbooster from what I read and watch on KZitem. Do you agree? Can you make a video on speedbooster and adapters, comparing the most prominent?

Thank you for sharing this set of lenses. They are super affordable. Just would like to know is it possible to share the 3D models for the focus gear you used on those lenses?

I have a vintage 135mm sears which I got for $1.10. I was the only bidder. The thing is its about 210mm on apsc so I don't use it that much.

En realidad con un sensor APS-C en principio estarias utilizando el centro de la lente, asi que la calidad no deberia variar. (Google translate: Actually with an APS-C sensor you would be using the center of the lens in principle, so the quality should not vary.)

Great video. Nice examples, explanation and setup. I love vintage lenses and all this kind of content. Thanks for make visible this type of lenses, because not all is Zeiss, Sigma and Canon ;) I have one Auto Chinon 135mm 2.8 and it's lovely.
