Old Camera Lens To Cinematic Powerhouse (And it’s Affordable?)

[@Miniaminism]

Looks cool, but it's a sleeve, not a rehousing ! Lens rehousing is the act of taking appart the lens blocks and other optical element and fitting them in a new "housing" with improved Cinema mechanics, more robust, with some expensive parts to make them endure the abuse of shooting or being part of a rental house (like the use of bearing). This is a sleeve that goes on top of your vintage lens, adding mechanics focus gears on top on the vintage lens. So if you vintage wobbles, or is fragile to high torque motors, this sleeve will not protect it at all. It's It's a cinemod and a custom job, that why it's so cheap. Nice option nonetheless.

Yeah, he actually told me not to say rehousing, but for some reason I kept saying that ha! My bad

[@mondobytes]

Wow that’s pretty legit! Love the white and black combo

[@connormccaskill]

Same! I wanted a NASA look to the lens! I should’ve done red text too ha

[@davey_gravy]

I had no idea you could do this. The pro’s of doing this to an old lens sound amazing! Thank you for sharing this option 🎉

[@connormccaskill]

Yeah man, vintage lenses are a blast and this just elevates them a bit! Appreciate you stopping by

My choice lens? I’d like to see him try and make a housing for my Nikkor 400mm 3.5 AIS. Put a tank inside a tank haha

[@connormccaskill]

Haha 😂

[@VlogCity]

When you told me you were making this video, I was not expecting for it to look like an actual cinema lens. Might have to give it a go. If I don't Laurence will lolol

[@connormccaskill]

Hahaha

[@dennivisuals]

Definitely will be getting my Helios rehoused

NOT A REHOUSING

[@connormccaskill]
