Hi Kristin, i bought the K&F adapter FD to FX lenses last week and résultat with my FD lenses 50mm 1.8 sc 35-105mm 3.5 and 100mm 2.8 are stranges with my x-t5 : i have always bokeh around focus zone even if i close to f8 f11 f16, for portrait IS good but for street or others it is a problem, have an Idea why i have this problem ? Regards

Totally agree, I've been bitten by the vintage lens bug, and yes it's becoming a obsession, a lot of fun though 😊

You have done it now. This is an addictive hobby. Minolta, Canon FD and FDn, Olympus, Konica.... they are wonderful. They render with such character. I love lenses of today as well, but they all have that ultra-clear look, as if you are not looking through glass anymore. The flaws of the older lenses give them charm. They distort in pleasing ways. They glow in pleasing ways. They just have a way of moving you in an artistic way, somehow.

vintage lens is affordable and so much FUN to experiment with

great video, well explained, i will look forward to visiting your channel again

M42 mounts are for the win! There is soooo many obscure pieces of glass that generate cool results! Good luck if you want one for anything that revolves around fast or irratic moving subjects 😅

Is it foggie where are... in your room?

I like the Olympus lenses because of their color rendering. Currently the Olympus OM-System G.Zuiko Auto-S 55mm f1.2 1974 Radioactive 3389 CPM lens has my interest for product photography. I like the Super Takumar. I have one. I really like the Mamiya Sekor C 645 lenses, but used without a booster on a Sony A7Rii. I find using just the inside area of the glass is very interesting. Other lenses I like, the 1966 Jupiter 9 with Lilac lens coating. Also, the Auto Rikenon 55mm f1.4 radioactive or not. I have 38 vintage lenses... at this point tonight. Oh, I have and like old Fuginon lenses.

Oh, the beauty of love and vintage lenses! They truly add a unique touch to my photography. Lately, I've been captivated by the amazing Helios lens. It has easily become a personal favorite in my collection.

Love the shots with the crystals. Nicely done.

2:09 FEWER decisions. Not “less” decisions.

So the 50mm lens on a Fuji becomes 75mm Portrait. Just be aware of the many R.A lenses; generally if they have pretty rainbow colours on the lens or tend to look brown they are radio active, Some people don't mind them but the ones to be aware of are those that have the rear element thorium glass as it's closer to your eye. Best buying 1950s early 60s lenses. The lenses your showing look thorium, you can find a list of some of the lenses on the internet.

I have Fuji XE4 with 27mm 2.8. It's tight frame and video quality is awful. Too shaky. I shifted from Nikon D5500. Cant say I am enjoying Fuji so far. Seems like the wrost decision I have taken in photography.

The swagger of the cat in the photograph at 5:15 is simply wonderful. A great shot.🙂

So what happened here? Did she just get tired of photography and/or posting youtube videos? Hopefully that's what happened and that nothing bad happened to her. I've been stopping by now and then just to check if there's any new content but it's gone two years now so...

Hello! Great video. Just wondering what size of omni filter ring do you recommend for fuji lenses since their circumference is quite small. Where did you get the rings that stack?? Thank you!!!!!

I love using old Minolta lenses on my Fujifilm as well.

I hadn't owned a proper camera in nearly 20 years...in fact the last camera I owned used film😅 so when I decided to get back into it I settled on the XT4 a couple of years ago and I couldn't be happier. I've been thoroughly impressed with its performance as both a still and a video camera. Mine came with the 16-80 lense, which has been a great all arounder lense and I've picked up a couple of primes as well. The Fuji Film color processing in camera is fantastic and with all the different classic film color and texture profiles I almost never bother with post editing work. Im looking right now at getting a few more pieces of kit, whether it's a couple of more photography lenses or possibly building out a video rig either way I'm glad I picked this camera.

i have 4 vintage lenses and i have to reason myself out of buying more. I have a pentax 135mm 2.8, a canon fd n 50mm 1.8, a vivitar fd n 28mm 2.8, a vivitar fd telephoto zoom 70-210mm 3.5, and two fd teleconvertors, i love them all for different reasons but im more partial to the three non zooms. I have canon fd’s cause i use my lenses on a canon f1 okd slr and the in body connections that communicate to the body for the lightmeter are useful for me, and i also use my lenses with an adapter in apsc crop cameras. I also recently got a tifeen 0.64 wide angle converter for the 28mm. I have researched all my lenses for wuality sharpness color rendition flaring and quality of build, and love them, especially since i got each one for deals of under 30 dollars each. I also just particularly love 28 mm on crop sensor cause i find the 45-42mm effective focal length refreshing in contast to the average 50 mm. If anyone wants great reviews on individual cheap to expensive vintage lenses check out the channel zenography for sure lol, she mentioned at the end 😂.

I love your personality, you make me laugh too. Thanks for being so authentically yourself. Keep up the great photography and KZbin videos.

I absolutely love xe4, it's a work of art inside out!

This was beautiful to watch.

Thank u for the video I recommend you try Voigtlander lenses

nothing worng with the word Journey. Don't over think little things.

Nice video, but I sure hope that you are wrong about the next version of this camera having an articulating screen. After all, who wants a screen going out to the side of the camera, making the whole camera approx 3 inches wider than it already is.

Hi Kristin.....If you feel awkward pointing your camera at someone, don't forget that you have a tilt screen on the X100V, and by using it no one knows that you are taking a picture of them, for all they know, you could be adjusting the settings on the top of your camera. 🙂

Where did you go? Enjoyed your videos, disappointed you disappeared.

If Fuji made an X 100 mark 6 with interchangeable lenses, we’d buy nothing else

How do you feel about the Peak Design strap? I’m not a fan of those rectangular strap fasteners and wish they’d put the standard ones on the X-E4, but the Peak Design end pieces seem like a decent solution. What do you think now that you’ve used it that way?

Lady I got 35 f1.4, 18-55,, f2.8, 55-200mm and fuji xe3,xt3 and im so happy only with this aw sorry macro? fuji mcex-16 with 18mm is very very close to subject ;)

Hi i love 100mm f2.5 very good for b&w Photography. But 50mm f1.4 not bad!

Where did you go? Have not seen you for a while!

Vintage lenses on mirrorless cameras are much more fun than on they’re native film bodies. Romance of film sounds great, in reality it sucks.

Brilliant video, and a stunning self portrait.

Don´t wanna be the wise-ass, but the default position of a hot shoe for a flash is always on top of the center of the lens. The xe4 is still a camera for photography. But I´m pretty sure there are cages and handles with practical mounting options for microphones out there.

Where are you Kristin? More videos please.

My alternative to Fuji’s 90mm f2 is the Nikkor AI 105mm f2.5 + a speedbooster. ❤

Both are really great! But the X100 series have some uniqueness interchangeable cameras don't have. The built in ND filter, high speed flash sync. Nothing beats that. I use it all the time, especially the built in ND filter. Shooting at f2.0 in sunny daylight + adding a mini bit of fill in flash. The X-E4 has its own strengths.

i found your brooklyn environment fascinating. to be fair, you can't blame the environment for not making a cool shot. cool vids!

good choice!

informative ty

What happened to her?

Hello, how do you allow the X-T4 to trigger? Thanks a lot

Really a fun introduction I’ve seen in a review 😅

What is the exact model name of your extendable smallrig tripod?

Nice video, but mate the x-e4 to the 27/2,8, that's a winner! Ulf

Your videos are great. Shame (for us) you’re not uploading anymore.

I just wish this camera would be back in stock soon!

Yes we also switched to X-T and X-H systems from Nikon and I've also just 'manufactured' an excuse to buy a beautiful X-E4 for my own use too! (a 'backup' camera for one of our studio repro rigs ;-)

TIP: In classic photo portraiture we would choose a background that CONTRASTS to the subject like grey-blues with diffused cloud effects. This separates and pushes the smooth warm skin-tones of the subject forward giving great 3D colour plane separation of the portrait and a lovely colour variance in the total image!
