You're such a nerd the coolest part of this video is watching you travel on your scooter in psychedelic mode lol

[@rephaelreyes8552]

Stay safe with your electric scooter. Also what the hell? Why am I convinced that the 3D pop exists? It’s clearly not the bokeh. Why is it not quantifiable? What is it? Is it the lens distortion that’s only found in vintage glass or what?

That journey of yours to acquire your “precious” is longer than Frodo going to Mordor to toss that ring in the fire! 😂

Sounds very crunchy

[@JjackVideo]

The chromatic aberration is just crazy on that bad boy.

[@charliejg]

Road trips are the best!! That bike trail could be a video game. Kind of like GTA but you try to take out kids on bikes. Your excitement when unveiling this lens was epic!! Cool journey, nice purchase!! That old glass is really nice. I have two Canon FD lenses I really like. One is the 28mm T2.8, the other is 135mm T3.5. I got the 28mm for $30 US and the 135mm for $35. US and both are in like new condition. Thanks for taking us along, have a rockin day!

[@ShadesOClarity]

Acid scooter trip plus safety Sting making sure nobody is crushed by the train. Good job.

[@jaaaayy]

Glad to see you finally got it! the difference between RF and EF is extreme

[@Totustuus2022]

This is one of your best episodes mate. That mention about “Feel better because Batman is looking after this neighborhood” is a line to frame! I am still laughing hard! Well done!!

[@chasing-liberty]

Kasey, I bought a sigma (i know my bad) 17-50 f2.8 ef-s lens with a focus motor that squealed like a greased pig getting some loving from a southener, I stripped it down myself after watching some dodgy YT vids and greased the parts myself, reassembly - IT WORKED - BUT it obviously had one final squeal left before it went silent and functions quickly and quietly to this day.

[@pdtech4524]

What an incredible journey for a lens! That's dedication.😊

[@thelazymarch]

28 days later and Kasey is still lost in the Batman park. 🥴

[@FST0p]

Distagon 35mm f2 is my favorite lens. I got the canon version . That glass is perfect . Second fav is the Zeiss makroplanar 100mm f2 . Both flawless 🤓

[@AndrewJacksonSE]

I recently picked up the 35 1.4 L for my (cough cough) photography needs. Lovely lens. I paid a bit more, but the manual focus doesn’t make grinding noises.

[@80-80.]

You should add the canon EF 50mm 1.2 to the list. If you find a good deal on it. Unimpressive corner sharpness wide open but it just adds more 3-d pop.

[@vanhap]

Nice to hear all the great stories, What lens adapter do you use? We see it works well with auto-focus.

[@RebelWithoutFauxPas]

Still love your quirky sense humor. I like cameras and gear and all… but stay for the smiles.

[@brianyount5549]

This is in the top three favorite lenses I've ever used. You have made an excellent choice!!

[@ShutterNChill]

That was a fun trip, and what a great lens! Might I say, you could take the lens apart and clean it. I had zero experience with that and never thought I'd do it myself.... until I ran into similar situation. Got a Super Takumar with a VERY sticky focus ring... turning the focus ring actually took the lens off the m42 mount!!! So, watched a few YT videos on how to take the lens apart, cleaned it, successfully put it back together .... and... it works now!!! Still a little needy (as something inside was actually deformed, maybe the lens was badly dropped...), but works well since without coming off. I'd say the 35L is likely a LOT more complicated, but as you need not take the internals apart, it is an easy fix doable at home. Even if it's your first project doing that. (Although I'd recommend practicing on a cheap lens for first try.) I have the Sigma ART 35mm and it's my favorite lens of all time. (Yup, that's my favorite focal length, cheers ;). I've been wondering about the Canon L first version, that would have been my other choice, but finally decided on the Sigma. Overall, the Sigma is super sharp and has a totally Leica-feel rendering to it, making it my favorite photo lens. It focuses insanely fast, and turned my 5D classic into a low light beast. (Haha, but kind of true! Total life changer on the 5D both in terms of sharpness, dramatically lower ISO noise floor, focus accuracy and speed.) But I'd love to have the dreamy quality of the 35L, that would be perfect for videos ; ). One day.... sigh

[@Harvester88]

I just got the Zeiss Batis 85 f1.8. I really love that thing.

[@aldrob108]

Loved the trippy video. I also loved the lens, great buy. Thanks for the fun video.👍

[@rudolffoldvary5654]

New 35 mm - green and purple fringing on your cap is strong, it visibly changes colour. Image has green tint overall and colours seem washed out. 3D pop not noticed here. Otherwise nice loud focusing lens.

[@spanasik]

This color change is a side effect after orange sky and blue grass, loud sound comes from a cord near mic.

[@icancant]

Purple lawns and volcano sky!!! Missasagua, you’ll be the death of me!

[@MTBD80]

I like the random coloring.

[@JoeSzilagy]

Kasey, I discovered last summer that you can bring a bike on the Go Train that goes straight to Niagara Falls from Union Station (or anywhere along the way) so took my mountain bike. There are a few cars at the end specifically for bicycles. Great to visit the Falls, and visit friends who live on the Niagara Parkway, or Niagara-on-the Lake, etc. In other news... I live in Missusuburbia myself (Streetsville), and it is drab and boring- ugh! Moved from Toronto several years ago- long story. I won't even use any cameras here, unless I stroll along the Credit River in Streetsville, which is actually pretty nice- a strip of nature, hidden amongst the featureless, flat, mall-ridden nothingness.

[@mtlreiner]

Agreed. People who visit tell us “the village looks so cute-what a great place to live.” I always tell them the village doesn’t have much except men’s barbershops and salons. Restaurants are hit and miss. The two coffee shops we had are long gone. The Culham Trail makes it suck a bit less.

what type of scooter is that I'm convinced you should have also made a scooter review cuz it really did the job

[@maxbroden2053]

Nice to see you out on a trip again!

[@Nearest_Neighbor]

Love the purple green color changing hat.

[@ak4good]

Fantastic and entertaining journey! Not sure I'm on board with this 3D pop obsession -- to me the pocket 3 image quality was more pleasant than the crazy contrast and optical aberrations, I mean character, of this giant old, I mean vintage, glass. But it makes for fun content, so well done!

[@LetiB76]

That lens !!! 🫶🏻❤…. It was my first L series lens , it was my first 35mm … and it’s the only lens that I’ve kept and has survived my poor buying and selling decisions…many come and go , but that lens was meant to stay ! It’s a keeper ! … 😊

[@jamesfc5071]

Cracking me up and educating at same time - two thumbs up 🙂

[@joaomarveloso1049]

I see purple fringing on the hat. I don't know if the R-EF adaptor amplifies this, or it is just like that with some canon L lenses. I have the same issue with my Ef-50 1.2 on the RP.

[@cameraconspiracies]

It's part of what gives a lens 3D pop. Modern lenses "correct" this and lose their character. That mesh hat is an extreme example in the harsh sun.

[@joaomarveloso1049]

@@cameraconspiracies You have a point there. Will be following your R8+ef 35 1.4 combo with great interest 🙂 btw, it would nice to see a comparison with the EF1.4 and RF 1.8 35mm.

[@MikePGuitars]

The only thing better than autofocus is a friend with a car. Been thinking of getting this lens to replace the RF plastic fringemaster. But he’s a bit of a chunky boy.

[@nicedward7544]

I've purchased three Canon 50 1.4 because i loved that pos so much. Unique look for a 50. The AF sucked and the focus brackets break constantly. Never again even though i miss it. I still have like 1 and a half in parts hiding in a drawer.

[@TheArneSaknussemm]

Sting or Rod Stewart?

[@gilmercampos9549]

[@Adreno23421]

Widest Canon did was the EF 50mm F1.0 L. And the bokeh balls are garbage, IMO. But if you don't have balls in the back it's an amazing lens. 2-3k used though.

[@audioupgrades]

My guess yesterday was correct. It is an adapted lens with focus issues. It does focus better outside in the light, though.

[@cameraconspiracies]

It just looked soft because of 1080p... It never looked in focus.
