[@smartti1970]

can't stand popcorn eaters on my movies... I prefer they leave the cinema ... 😆

[@vvillberry]

One trick I heard for nailing focus on yourself with a manual lens is to have the camera with you where you wanna stand and focus on the center column of the tripod and put the camera back on it without moving the focus ring and hope you can stand right back where you were, maybe leaving a marker where you were standing so you know

[@AANasseh]

Most helpful comment I've read on this channel in a looong while!! LOL! Thank you!

[@vvillberry]

@@AANasseh lol yeah no problem

[@Denneska]

​@@AANassehI agree. Very good comment 👍🏽

[@BwanaBob]

I kneel. We're not worthy!

[@djvidual8288]

Can't believe how good this lens looks in the branches.

[@ThreeToesofFury]

the side by side bit with dancing? brilliant. well timed sir.

[@vincentgrossi2112]

Hey, Jabrone, it was cool meeting you last week and I must say that I highly anticipated this video and you did not disappoint. Throwing in details like, "I focused on this turtle," and "the sumac is sour and tastes like loneliness" always put a smile on my face. Keep up the great work!

[@JamesAnderson-wft]

Do you ever sleep?

[@cameraconspiracies]

Upside down for 30 minutes.

[@C.I...]

A tip for removing the adapter - remove the lens and adapter as one, then remove the lens from the adapter if you need to instead of trying to prise the ring from the camera. I have multiple adapters and keep them on the lens unless I need to actually use them on an M42 film camera.

[@cameraconspiracies]

I do, but you really have to tighten the lens a lot. I hate the whole system lol.

[@C.I...]

@ Just the nature of the beast. PRAKTICA SHALL RISE AGAIN, AND ALL SHALL BOW TO M42, AS THE LITTLE AUTOMATIC APERTURE PIN THINGY ON THE BACK MAKES ITS TRIUMPHANT AND INEVITABLE RETURN.

[@juleonmcginnis5605]

This intro was god tier! 🤣

[@noordstede6408]

that canon 85 is amazing!

[@steveh8658]

You nailed that hawk footage; something was likely in focus the whole time!

[@crumbald5519]

I know I was really focused watching!

[@juliaBorisenko-mx9zj]

If you connect your phone to your camera and do the live view you can see on your phone if it's in focus or not

[@RussandLoz]

When you first went outside it reminded me of Toneh's blurring out his family by the lake lol

[@Cocc0nuttt0]

This was simply an act of reasonable self-defense. Oh by the way, I've lost all my Tonehs in a tragic boating accident.

[@blitzstormer]

TT Artisan keeps impressing me - i have there 56mm F1.8 and the 75mm F2 both with autofocus for E-mount and have really enjoyed using them

[@TacticalKolano]

It's an amazing photo lens, it takes ages to turn the focus ring, but it allows for a very precise setting, even if you're blind like me and just cannot use different manual focus lenses at all. If you have a clear subject to focus on of course, though those branches in focus were crisp

[@Bradum]

Focus distance is an arc, not a line. If you focus on a tree off to the left you will need to stand a bit behind that tree in the center to be in focus (this is super hard to explain with word). Imagine a dot that is the camera sensor, and then a circle around that dot with the radius being the focus distance; if the tree is off to the left of center from where the camera is pointing you will need to stand along the arc to its right to remain in focus.

[@cameraconspiracies]

Yes, but the opposite with this lens. Needed to be in front of the tree.

[@bigshooter461]

Wow, that lens is VERY, very nice. Side note that M42 adapter is easy to remove if you remove it on the lens. Just unmount the lens with the adapter attached as if it was an EF lens by pressing the release and twisting of off. There really are some increadible M42 lenses, I have to agree with your preference for auto focus for sure but I do enjoy using some of this glass, that TT artisans lens is on my list for sure of lenses to try sometime.

[@DiversionScience]

Thanks for the review! Definitely buying this now I've seen what it does in video. I already had my eye on this lens but didn't know if it would fit on an EF speedbooster with an adapter, so thanks for confirming that it does. The focus throw is too long for focus pulls in hand but it'll be perfect for a follow focus when you put a gear ring on it. A lot of cine lenses have the same 270 degree throw. Don't expect an autofocus version of this lens though, the focus group weighs a ton in this thing. If you really like this look, why not get a DJI LiDAR?

[@AlexHodgins]

2nd last shot was amazing despite focus. Tilt-shift-esque. It'd be a hilarious/tedious challenge to film yourself as a tiny man on a proper tilt-shift do it!

[@gamebuster800]

best ad ever lol, money well spent. check focus on your phone!

[@felipehenaovideo]

Lovely lens Fantastic review Technical and fun

[@dunnymonster]

Diggin the Kasey Crip dance lol 😋

[@JoATTech]

Actually F5.6 shot with red flowers looks the best ... there probably 3d pop there, although I'm not sure what 3d pop is :D.

[@lelandfitz1762]

TTA really looks good and I can see the 3D Pop for once, too

[@AlexLeeder94]

Thanks for the comparison . I just ditched all of my Fuji gear for a canon r6 mkii. And really appreciate you bringing out the canny boy for some comparison . Please more canny boy.

[@tptrsn]

If you leave that lens stopped down to where you have a useable depth of field, it looks GREAT! With Sony you can use the Monitor and Control (?) app to see on your phone if you are in focus. I can't remember if Canon's app has useable peaking or not to help you out with confirming focus on your phone when you're shooting on the C70...

[@tomaszstramel3594]

The Voigtländer 58 mm f/1.4 for the Nikon F-mount had a screw-on hood and a dedicated hood cap that had the cylindrical part inside lined with a a sort of velvety fabric. It was pretty steep in terms of price, and only a retailer in Austria had it at the time (I live in Poland).

[@tomaszstramel3594]

Both the hood and the hood cap were made of metal, painted black (or oxidized), sold as a unit. The lens itself had a separate plastic cap.

[@911tribute8]

Great test. So many nice and cheap new lenses are coming out. But as shown here, it can be so hard to manual focus. Autofocus is where the big advances are taking place. For example the new Sirui Aurora 85mm f1.4 appears to latch and stay on like a G Master. For only $500! Best quotes: "Leading lines... to hell." "TT Artisans... go buy a Zeiss lens, take it apart, come back to work when you're ready to make it." "Red flowers... people make tea out of that. Good times I bet. Sour and lonely tasting." "I'm not going to sell it immediately... [runs out of frame to sell it]." I didn't laugh all day until this video. Several times.

[@KNURKonesur]

Take the lenses out again on a sunny day and that railroad comparison would be very different. Also a big added value with the TTartisan is you can use it on a GFX/H2D

[@ChrisA2617]

Love the addition of the V.O. That should become a thing for future videos, no question. The lens looks great but that's some heavy CA in the tree branches

[@briandipierro8865]

I loved the TTArtisan lens I had but the curvature and focus throw, even on the 21mm was ridiculous

[@mikeissharp]

You should try out the Techart adapter it is suppose to allows autofocus with M42 lenses

[@chuckwilliams8687]

Nice spot by the old rail bridge

[@LTPottenger]

They really reeaaaally want me to buy my mom a buick this year judging by all the commercials lol

[@HeadlessChickenTO]

I really wanted the EF 85mm, but I'm settling for the Rokinon f1.4 (it's in the mail).

[@DCReels]

Cannon 85 3D pop legend

[@blotafton]

I want that lens, best toneh out there.

[@ItsWillLee]

Fried orange peel toneh 🤑

[@yawningmarmot]

You can try a matte screen protector to beat reflections. The TTartisan lens looks quite nice, but to be fair you could get a very similar look with a much cheaper Helios/Mir/other Zeiss knockoffs of the yesteryear:)

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Dude! Another video, cripple hammer to me doing anything because I’m watching you. Keep em coming. I’ve been using the Voigtlander 40mm f1.2 what’s your thoughts?

[@lennutrajektoor]

Hello Helios 44-2 focus. Nice to see you again @8:28

[@KNURKonesur]

that lens still slaps if you put it on a GFX/H2D

[@lennutrajektoor]

@@KNURKonesur Bro, you probably have never experiences the Soviet occupation and with which "benefits" it comes. Helios 44-2 was one of them because this was the only thing they were able steal from the German when they forcefully deported the lens masters to the USSR. This was an awful lens full on aberration which was vividly present in every Soviet movie.

[@KNURKonesur]

@lennutrajektoor they stole dozens of designs for different Helios, Jupiter, Zenit, Zenitar, Mir, Arsat, Kaleinar lenses and Zenit, Kiev, Fed, Zorki cameras, and many many other things :D

[@LouisLuzuka]

I kinda want to try this 😮

[@bri_v]

I was actually getting ready to buy the TTArtisans, then was offered a used Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 in a somewhat similar price range. Easiest choice of my life 😆

[@thekrolli95]

That "gangster walk" dance was diabolical. It should never see the light of day 😅🤣😂

[@RTshock_films]

I enjoy shooting with TTartisan 90 1.25 on my r6ii and yes I miss focus quite a lot 😅

[@jean-philippegrignom6479]

You should get a nucleus nano with a shimbol tp mini for manual focus

[@ivandj707]

This lens is similar to the Helios 40-2 85mm f/1.5 (400-500$). Not bad TTArtisan 👍👍

[@stonerock64]

That dance scene will never make it on Instagram. Ditch the baggy pants for some tights! Looking forward to your next dance scene.

[@cameraman655]

2:19 Man, I know that feeling….😂

[@nicksavage4763]

BIGFOOT OVER LEFT SHOULDER?

[@matthiasice]

Since you're on a swirly bokeh tear, you should see if Lomography will send you the Petzval 55mm 1.7

[@danncorbit3623]

Nice lens for still life, talking heads video where nobody moves and nothing else that I can think of. But hey, the price is right. I have some old manual focus lenses and a few video designed manual focus lenses, but I use them less often than autofocus lenses. On the other hand, a change of pace that requires concentration is OK. Most astrophotography lenses are either really wide or really telephoto. 75mm might work for andromeda, though because it takes up a good hunk of sky but does not span the whole thing. But given the swirly bokeh, the edges of the image will be distorted. So I think for making astro images it is really just a "for a lark" option because the images will be strange.

[@mvw5721]

That m42 adapter turned my Sigma SD Quattro into a useless brick. Yes, Asahi glass is fantastic, but I haven't been able to get the adapter off, many scratches from all sorts of plyers to show for. 4 sigma-only lenses have been collecting dust, as the buyers market for those is smaller than my left ***

[@lexzack7206]

Agreed on the lens, but that kid they arrested is definitely not the shooter.

[@charliejg]

Ha! How long did it take to write that intro description of yourself?! LOL! Have a rockin' day!

[@OfficialSushiSystemAmbassador]

12:04 In Canada, not only is your flag red, but your weed’s blazing red too! That’s gotta be some 70% THC straight-from-hell strain-fire for real. Now I’m curious how that would flex on our 90mm macro lens🔥🍁📸

[@JoseSantos-uc8cl]

It's official...The Cripple Walk Dance.

[@rayriggz16]

you should check out the petzval 55mm f1.7...i found it better than the ttartisan

[@ShadesOClarity]

It looks good to me. The Toneh Ballz are lemon-shaped, however. What do the aperture blades look like? Wow when you shift to the scene up close that is darker that Toneh swirls like water down a toilet.

[@onlinetraderucom]

Lomo 75 T2.2 (6-75-1) the best 3d pop 75mm in the world.

[@AprilClayton]

No sun stars, no sale.

[@Bradum]

You need some Cinema lenses and the DJI Focus Pro, then the cinema will finally be yours....

[@urbanimage]

It's not important, but the M42 screw mount is pronounced M forty-two.

[@achrafmel]

With you trying all these fun manual lenses, maybe investing in the DJI Lidar focus thing could be a good idea. It will basically turn them into autofocus lenses

[@lennutrajektoor]

@13:26 you get yet another proof you can't get Smurfs into focus. That's a sad reality of nature.

[@WilliamTaylor-h4r]

I scored a Dell P2721Q and put it on my vivo book, intel let me put it 12bit Full RGB 4K, its OLED at 5ms, but you'd swear its 25ms, youtube compression sucks unless you buy 4k60 or 4k50, no sense wasting money I guess. lol. Got an angle bracket for my brothers surface book 4 (upgrade 4TB) SSD and the keyboard does not work when you load windows, its actually a camy from pakistan!? It still lights up, used the power button, holly goats.

[@MarcoNeroDesign]

Now compare both of those lenses to the RF 85mm f/1.2L USM lens. There's simply nothing that comes close to it.

[@cameraconspiracies]

EF lenses always have more pop. RF lenses are just sharper and more corrected. They are all flat designs and not what I desire.

[@trugate]

5:16 Is that Gordon Freeman? O_O

[@williamwilson5127]

Kasey, please get a large crank handle measuring tape. Just place it under under the tripod where the camera is and pull the tape out to where you want to be standing. Check the distance indicated on tape measure and then set the distance on the lens. The taste of victory is sweet.

[@scottw4336]

My ef 85 1.2 is used when time is of the essence.......and my zeiss 85 1.4 /5DSR pairing....oh man...talk about glory shots. Both are ridiculous

[@ItsWillLee]

Weird Lens, the toneh looks like fried orange peel and the focus is never where you want, but hey, it's cheap, different and fun.

[@ambrojo]

Hi, as always, your video creations and analysis are interesting and fun. Yes, the truth is that using manual lenses to film yourself can be cumbersome. As I always see you in a hurry to calculate distances between train tracks and tree branches, although the solution can be a bit more sophisticated, have you considered using a monitor with an affordable HDMI wifi transmitter/receiver? Or use a dummy like @MarkusPix sometimes does kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHbbfpKCYp6meMk 😅📷📽

[@Adreno23421]

A Moron. We've all been there with manual focusing. One day we'll get it right.

[@maxiguppy]

Well I know you have said that is not your thing in previous videos. I know because for no particular reason i just watch every single one. But with such a beautiful lens maybe it could be possible to be like a freaking crocodile waiting in an ambush for some beautiful girls enter your world of street creeptography?

[@SubiTrekker]

[@johndoane7200]

Dude, perhaps your girl friend could “pull focus” for you?

[@stevenjohnson4283]

Thats really sad that your Canon 85mm 1.2 has less 3D pop as the TT artisans lens. And how did you go from calling us Gibroni's to Jabronez? If you're going to culturally appropriate an Italian American expression, you might as well do it right!
