ƒ/0.33? CLICK BAIT. <- Taints an otherwise interesting vid.

*Why, in the name of all things holy would you ever need ANY of these lenses?*

Kubrick was British, not American.

the quality of this video is so damn high

If you shoot in raw you don't need to worry about white balance! Since the raw files contain the raw sensor data which is independent from white balance settings, the white balance is just stored as metadata to tell lightroom how it should develop your pictures and changing it in lightroom is equivalent to changing it on camera. I tend to just leave my cameras in auto white balance mode then fix it in lightroom unless I'm working with calibrated light sources in a studio or with flash.

love it

First

I was so glad you spoke about the lens used in Barry Lyndon. There was an article in The American Cinematographer about that fantastic lens.

I’m fairly sure that final Canon lens (the “Cannon”) was made to track NASA launches.

It is not true that Barry Lyndon was shot only with candle lights. I thought that too, but nope.

9:50 sigmamaxxed and monsterpilled

I literally clicked this video just to see Kubricks Barry Lyndon referenced, I would have been pissed if it wasn't in here

Such a good video. I’m liking and subscribing

Love the pacing of this video. This is how I know you are a great editor: no need of flashy effects or transitions to find this truly engaging. After filming and editing events and corporate recaps for years with ramps, masking and fx, this feels so refreshing. Awesome.

the canon cannon lens was used for tracking the space shuttle from launch until orbit

for a new channel - this video is very nice!very well polished!

Why was Hasselblad failing with rehousing other cameras when Leica does the same thing till today and is fine?

man i love how u make ur videos..going over some relevant historical stuff holy ravioli thats a blessing

I assume you have seen Media Division's video "f0.3 - The Impossible Lens - Building a Large Format DoF movie camera - Epic Episode #18"

This is a comment for the algorithm

This Channel is one of the best small channels. It needs more attention!

Great video! Didn't need these tips but it was fun to watch anyways. And nice Zeiss. Love that lens.

Cong, you have to do a video of all of the crazy MACRO lenses there are!

The widest angle lens ever made was the Peri-Apollar. 360 degrees. Just look it up on Google or Brave search. It was not full frame, though.

works for apsc too?

Production quality of a 100k+ sub channel, nice!

Dude, fantastic video. Only real recommendation would be to upgrade your audio. The DJI Wireless mic is a great option.

cannon canon cracks me up

Dude, that's some impressive video! Interesting, informative, and well managed over all. Keep it up man!

I have a Sigma 12-24mm f4.5-5.6 DG HSM that I originally used on my F5 when I wanted full frame shots. At that time my Digital was a D300 which was a 12mp DX format camera. BTW the D300 actually made some very nice images. Still have 12-24 and still use it on occasion. One nice thing about the first edition version was that it's distortion was below 1% and that rectilinear bias in the design did result in a loss in sharpness at the corners but I never found it to be too bad. One lens that sparks my interest is the LAOWI 9mm lens. If find the thought of a lens wide enough where my foot wear could become prominent in an image rather fascination. BTW, the solution for this is to view the lens as a One Shot Panorama lens and do the necessary cropping for feet and such in post. Makes it much easier than doing 5 or 6 focus stacks and then merging them into a fully focused panorama.

great video!

Hey! Recently I started getting into film photography, did you have any experience with film? if so, would like to see a video on your opinion about film photography in the nowadays photography scenes. :)

Nikon P1000 is 3000mm... pretty zoomy😂

I have many Helios lenses. My favorite is not the one with swirly bokeh, but the 44-6 (I think?) that has lens coating but still catches a lot of circular flaring when illuminated from corners. I love taking photos in the evenings with this lens, result is beautifully warm images with rainbow-shaped flares. I know pixel peepers will tell me the lens is flawed and not sharp enough and blah blah blah, but the result is all that matters to me. And modern lenses with surgically controlled specs won't give me the result that is so pleasing to look at.

Cool!

youtube randomly put this video in my feed... It worked, good fun and a new subscriber for you, thank you good sir!

Not sure of the full back story but in the late 60's and early 70's, Vivitar (Ponder and Best) made a 135mm f/1.5 lens. It had a T-mount configuration so you could use it with just about any brand of 35mm camera. Weighed in at just under 2170g (4.7lbs) with tripod collar and metal lens hood! Camera-Wiki has a posting about it under "Vivitar Professional 135mm f/1.5."

🔥

Great video man love your editing style and the on screen text when showing the specs for the lenses is a nice touch keep it up!

Love the content! Highly recommend watching barry lyndon I think its free on yt. Also a proud owner of a helios 44. I love the "Made in USSR" stamp on the side and is not only dead sharp but a good talking piece!

Would have loved to see the Zeiss (Contax) N-Mirotar 210mm f/0.03 (technically, it's T/0.03) covered. I remember seeing an eBay listing for this way back in the early 2000s and that was crazy. Unfortunately, it's only for B&W photography on film due to how it works (using light amplification technology for night vision devices). This was obviously meant for the Cold War era spy craft though consumers could still order one as they did market it for filming wildlife at night.

At 9:30 you mention the fast 2.8 lenses. When I was your age nothing 1.8 or slower was "fast!" Kids today! :D

Just to deslaughterise the pronunciation - Zeiss is pronounced with a "ts", rather than Z.

I have one of the Lytro light field cameras, the software is the key :/

Wait… the guy who everyone thought faked the moon landing is the only other buyer of the lenses sold to nasa for the moon expedition?!?!

There’s a $2 million 1600mm Leica lens that the owner had to custom mount to a vehicle.

DJI owns Hasselblad.

There is a 300mm 2.0 for finish photos at running like horse and dog races.

Great video! Great editing! But please... use international formats aka the metric system ;P

The Canon 5200mm lens was like lowkey designed for the military. Could be mounted on ships, spy planes and coastal observation stations. After all Japan was also affected by the cold war and had the threat of soviet territory next door, despite their "neutral" stance.
