The Voigtlander 40mm f1.2 is a modern manual focus lens that covers the bigger GFX sensor hand has tons of character. On FF the Minolta 58mm f1.4 is my favourite vintage lens, a very different less clinical look for not a lot of money and a whole lot of fun than modern glass

Braden, you're awesome. love the uique advice. Do you know where we can find what lenses master photographers of the pas used? Is there websites or resources for all filmic portrait lenses? Primarily, I love the Yousef Karsh, or or the Herman Goering portrait style. You know that painterly look... Oh btw, all vintage lenses need to be focused manually, is that right? Can't use our auto focus / meter on them? Also, did you capture the videos of Anna with the GFX 100s? And what else do you recommend for replicating film? Filters you use or suggest?

Thanks for commenting and supporting! Not sure of any websites off the top of my head. I could probably find some and let you know. Vintage lenses are typically manual focusing yes. You'd have to turn it with your hand and look through the viewfinder to make sure your focus is right. Takes practice but becomes easy after a bit. The videos I capture on my channel are with the Black Magi Pocket Cinema Camera 6K. Photos are taken with my GFX 100s! To replicate film, the best will always be shooting actual film (which I highly recommend, it's so much fun). If you want to take digital photos that look like film, you could use presets or profiles. I personally use the Archetype Process but I've heard good things about Mastin Labs. You could also use diffuser filters to add a softener to some of your images but I don't recommend that.

@@bradenarchinuk Thank you for those two colour filter apps. Such your channel is new, I would love to see a video about your journey, your favorite photographers, and who and what resources you used to get started, looking back. That would be useful for newbies and easy follows. I look forward to your next video.

why not use a Mamiya 645 110 f 2.8? only costs about a hundred bucks!

@bradenarchinuk 11 ай бұрын

I just had a Pentax 645 lens laying around so that was the cheapest and quickest option for me. Definitely have wanted to try the Mamiya systems for a while though!

What was it like manual focusing? Did you use any specific focusing settings in the camera?

@bradenarchinuk 4 ай бұрын

Focusing wasn't too bad. I tried using focus peaking first and that honestly messed me up more than manually focusing. I'd say looking through the viewfinder you would be able to nail focus a majority of the time. I learned photography with manual focus shooting film so I felt like it was pretty easy!

Just wish the adapters weren't so huge. For portraits I usually just use the 110 or the 80.

@bradenarchinuk Жыл бұрын

they're pretty big but I think the adapter + 75mm F2.8 together is still smaller than the 110! 😂

@VizionZine Жыл бұрын

@archiefilmphoto Seems same size as the 80 and that is 1.7 with AF.

@luckyandy 11 ай бұрын

@@VizionZine The 75 mm 2.8 lens and adapter together weigh around 460 grams and cost around €300. The 80 mm original from Fuji weighs ~800 grams and costs €1700 when used. Sure the original is better, but 75mm is a cool lens for very little money.

Awesome video man, love the shots. What is that rad little pen mic you're using for audio? Looks like it would be really slick to have in my bag.

Hey! Thanks for watching. It's a Sony TX650 voice recorder but I think they have a newer version called the Sony ICD-TX660. Quality is surprisingly very good, only sucky thing is having to sync it up to the footage in post since it doesn't connect to the camera like other mics do
