My Tiny Lens Collection

[@saltyitalianguy3243]

very easily one of my favourite channels recently

[@watchthelight]

Inflation made me do it. Enjoy this massive fortune. I enjoyed this and look forward to your next video! Good luck with the new place.

[@EvanMonsma]

Thank you 🙏

[@retrothing]

Preach! I’ve been making the case for c mount lenses since the 90s (back when they were dirt cheap). No matter what the specs are of a new camera, I’m always mostly interested in whether it can shoot C mounts or not. Keep it going!

[@EasyMac308]

It may be helpful for those of us who are interested, but aren't camera geeks, if you added a throwaway line describing what an APS-C camera is. Took me a little searching to figure it out.

[@EasyMac308]

... or I could've just waited. You got to it eventually :)

[@whiffysole]

I've been collecting some of these lenses as well. I love how small and easily handled they make my m4/3 camera, and the vignetting/distortion is a cool look I enjoy using a lot in my pictures. Some of the lenses from CCTV or machine vision cameras in particular are made for really tiny sensors, which means getting a perfectly circular image even on my m4/3 camera.

[@Rcm23195]

I love the mood and direction of your videos. Your attitude and passtions to create are really inspiring. Found you through sending William Osmand a handle, and i'm glad I did.

[@prgnify]

This video is basically all of my reasoning for buying my Pentax Q. I got it from a japanese seller on e-bay for real cheap like, 200 quid a few years ago (2017?) It mounts these vintage lenses beautifully and the whole body fits in any pocket. So you have it on you and can carry a lot of lenses and, you know, just have fun taking pictures.

[@Noah-Davis]

Funding for the new studio!

[@EvanMonsma]

Thank you man!

[@mr_eznov]

Hello there. What can I say... Holy! This is not only video about telling some story, but an educational historical(somehow) lecture. Was worth the time it took from me. Thank you.

[@creditcardchase]

I could not care less about cameras and lenses and how they work… but this video was beautiful. Really spoke to me

[@kathrynmonsma]

Oooo I love the dreamy looks, and the light breaking in at 10:12 is a fun consequence, too!

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

What a time to be a filmmaker! Thanks for sharing these cool lenses. I learned a thing or two. I have a 8mm camera with 3 d-mount lenses and was wondering why the mount was so tiny 😅

[@dannybrandon2822]

I found an old Bolex B8L with 2 cine lenses on a flea market for 3€. Im so stoked to test them out!

[@JustaParanormalGuy]

Nice. My favorite lens, so far, is my D - mount Kern-Paillard Switar 5.5mm Bolex Cine lens.

[@AddictedtoProjects]

Awesome video! Thank you so much for summarising the different mounts and flange distances in such a straight forward manner. I'm currently exploring the use of a Pentax Q system and Micro 4/3 for use with "quirkier" lenses, so this video has been a Godsend! 🙏

[@gicknardner]

My favorite thing about adapting vintage SLR lenses onto mirrorless is that you get the full functionality of the lens for very little cost. They may be more challenging to use but you are using them at 100% of their capacity. As opposed to adapting an electronic SLR lens. Challenging but fun.

[@JamesGWall]

Nice to have you back

[@bchoward0000]

Sounds like you might want a Pentax Q camera - it's the one digital camera that has a flange distance small enough that it can focus D-mount lenses to infinity. Tiny sensor with a ~5.5x crop factor. FWIW, I found having some super thing metal shim rings helpful to nail infinity focus.

[@danm3d]

Thanks for the informative breakdown of the differences between C, D, and CS mount lenses!

[@g1234538]

oooooh, the Elgeet 12mm f/1.2! That showed up when I was researching lenses because it was the first mass produced lens with an aspherical element! Cool to see it featured!

[@EvanMonsma]

Yesss thats part of the reason I bought it, a piece of lensmaking history

[@thehighestsoapbox7561]

Some of the Elgeet and dujour lenses share similar traits as taylor hobson,

[@reallyanti]

Man that first lens goes hard. I can see why it's popular on ebay

[@tc227]

There are D mount to E mount adapters that recess deeply into the mount and allow infinity focus. SHOTEN makes a D-SE adapter like this and there's also a 3D printed one avaialble on ShapeWays. One thing to watch out for is that lenses with wider base might interfere with the adapter recess. Also most D mount lenses have pretty small image circle.

[@no_name9165]

Back at it! Really cool perspective on different lenses that are obscure. As always killing it. Have a good one man.

[@antraxuran9]

another can of worms you might wanna consider is harvesting f2.8 lenses for film compacts and custom adapting them by screwing them into lenscaps essentially... currently playing around with one such 40mm f2.8

[@charliefitzback7962]

I discover your chanel 2 or 3 weeks ago & its a gem! I really like watching it when im doing my own craftsy stuff & you may have inspire me to start my own youtube chanel! Continue your great work its awesome 🤟

[@robertarmero6320]

Nice little collection. Was thinking of getting a robot biotar 40mm for my fuji.

[@coryirvin6651]

congrats on the 20k, really enjoy how you approach problems.

[@DAI.H4RD]

Another upload YES!

[@ahmadhasan3258]

Discord gang lesgo!

[@tc227]

Cool video. I also have the Wollensak 1-in f/1.5. It's the smallest lens I have and quite an interesting one to shoot with.

[@IndianKD]

Nice! I like the image. And the passion. Luck to you man.

[@LuisMercadoorg]

Evan has uploaded a new video > Vince McMahon looks pleased It’s about one of my favorite subjects, hacked camera lenses > Vince McMahon looks excited The video is over 10 minutes long > Vince McMahon dies from sheer pleasure

[@TrapPhoneLoveMelodiesss]

Excellent video and I appreciate the diagram learned a lot. Thx bro!

[@soldierat]

Can recommend the Cooke Kinic 1 Inch in C-Mount, definitely worth a look -there are a few videos with it on youtube

[@thehighestsoapbox7561]

It's so good that it should be kept secret.

[@sundersquare]

noiceeeeee. good to see that putrid fake green river again in Indy. Even here in Ireland we don't do that :D

[@cf8979]

Get a nikon 1 series body! The j5 can shoot pretty decent video, and since its a 1" sensor you almost always get complete coverage with c mount lenses

[@EvanMonsma]

Woah I did not know this existed. I've used the c-mounts on my modded 1" sensor action cam but wasnt aware of the nikon 1 line. Will definitely look more into it

[@cf8979]

@@EvanMonsma theyre awesome little cameras! The whole line is great, but the J5 and V3 are def the best. But even the J1 and V1 can shoot some pretty solid images and videos. Just watch out for the 10-30mm lenses, theyre notorious for having aperture failures that render them basically useless.

[@9klass100]

thank you

[@schwipsy]

i thought i was thr only dude that got that 1.6 16mm. I bought it from a random dude off facebook for a dollar. I also got a bunch of these c mount lenses, i really love the soft final image they produce

[@schwipsy]

btw i got a 25mm and it covers my sony nex image fully

[@Residew]

First! Im stoked to watch!

[@8h24a10s]

ur vids are always great

[@lochieaxon]

funny to be talking about tiny lenses, whilst filming skaters using a massive MK1 fisheye lens.

[@EvanMonsma]

Lmao true we had two very different setups

[@sharpenednoodles]

Greetings from Tasmania

[@LindonSlaght]

You're telling me I could get that image quality for like, 30 bucks. Man I need to make better purchase decisions 😂 great video as always man!

[@madvelila]

Good video!

[@youngnope4664]

Would they be better if you used a m4/3 camera?

[@ignaciojua390]

Top channel

[@zacka161]

I feel i missed it in the video, but what camera were all these samples shot on?

[@TrajceBojadjiski]

Can I find adapters for these for a Nikon Z mount half frame?

[@pandakso3365]

How do you store to keep the dust out

[@rifikri]

How u make mounting for your eos m?

[@stevegordon695]

Go dog go'!

[@nizzle658]

Markiplier will be so proud of u

[@hunkyyeti]

I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a used video camera under $200? I've been making videos for my schools broadcasting program and wanted to grab a camera for my own shooting. I'm ok with something that's rough around the edges or has flaws so dont be afraid. Thanks! Also as always loved the video!

[@erikdiehl3134]

You should look at the older m4/3 cameras like the g81 or gh3

[@hunkyyeti]

@@erikdiehl3134 Thank you, I'll go check them out!
